    Well, life hasn't been dealing me a good hand this week but as per my usual self I have brushed myself off, set myself down and started all over again :D

    The last straw has to be that I took the wheel arch off the passenger side front on my Jeep today. Totally my own stupid fault but i had to get it off my chest [​IMG]

    Who invented those stupid little things at the side of car parks that are about 2ft tall and 2 inches wide, supposed to be there for some reason i presume but you can't see the ****** things in your wing mirror :mad:

    In 10 minutes I will be driving off with the wheel arch sitting next to me for company :(

    Oh Dear Paula,that is the sort of thing that I would do as I am so short that I struggle to see where I am going when reversing so have to rely on using my wing mirrors more :rolleyes:

    Big hugs from me and I do hope that you can calm down and get it all sorted.Your well being is more important than car parts,oh and by the way mine is shaken not stirred [​IMG] :D

    Ladies, ladies. This is so serious it is not a martini job. It's a litre of Harvey Wallbanger or maybe even tequila sunrise time. [​IMG]

    Thought I'd include a picture of my very annoyed bowel syndrome for your edification. Nothing to do with your driving skills of course. :D

    John, you are looking positively flushed. Paula these things happen, it`s a pain in the bum, but the important thing is, you are not damaged.

    Hi Paula
    Sorry to hear about your Jeep, as dp says you are not damaged.

    My friend and me were on our way home from work last Friday afternoon. Just past J14 of M25 and got into the inside lane ready to go onto the M4 when BANG. We were hit by a lorry wanting our space. We were then sideways heading towards the outside lanes, my friend did a great job in steering the car swung the other way, i was sure the car was going to overturn. [​IMG] We were then heading for the inside barrier, :eek: luckily my friend bought the car under control and we can to stop on the hard shoulder. The lorry driver was so blasÃ?© about it; we had had the fright of our lives. The lorry had just clipped the back wing and door and spun us round we were doing about 60mph. Neither of us can remember if we screamed or grabbed hold of each other. Talk about a Martini [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hi Vicky

    We were very lucky, lucky the road was dry, lucky there was not much traffic on the inside 2 lanes, lucky the tyre did not blow.

    Craig didn't say anything, he just said its not a problem, maybe that was because of the look in my eye and the axe in my hand at the time [​IMG]

    Thats bad luck, Just think at least the weekends coming.

    I always find bad luck runs in a string usualy when your under pressure, then something really **** happens and you see all the small problems in perspective.
