~Oh Bugger~

What a wonderful way to start the New Year....

I had to get the nice man from the RAC to rescue me and The Bad Boy yester-evening.

It would appear that the suspension on the rear passenger side is 'buggered', to use the technical term.

What a pisser.....


TODAY'S MOOD: Not a happy bunny.

  1. I hope you get that problem figured out ASAP. Car problems can really but me in a tizzy! Good luck!

    Thankfully, it would appear that it's just my shock-absorber that's gone to the great scrapyard in the sky.

    My 'friend in the know' reckons that the RAC guy overreacted a bit by calling the rescue waggon out, but he was just covering his arse because I was on the M6 motorway at the time.

    The Bad Boy is at least as old as I am in car-years.

    It could have been worse, I guess.

  8. Breaking down on the M6 OH THE JOY!

    Glad it's nothing too major, shocks go all the time, it's just wear and tear.

  10. We just had major work done on our van and it finally runs again. What a relief when it's fixed but what a bummer when something's wrong. Hope yours is fixed ASAP, LG.

  12. I guess I took the easy way out with my Explorer. It developed several high dollar issues, so I traded it in. Wednesday, in fact.

    Just a temporary set back. You'll have it back and running again in no time!

  13. Hey! Hope you get things fixed asap!

    I don't have a car or truck, so don't have problems with.

    I have a Scooter though, and it's going to cost me way over $300.00 to get a tune-up and new batteries, and to have the company come and get it and bring it back!

  14. A shock absorber (they should really be installed in pairs) is a pretty easy job, but that doen't mean you won't pay a bunch for the part and the labour.

    It's a job I would do on my own if I still had the space.

    And a car...

  15. Glad you didn't get screwed there. Still, shocks ain't all that cheap. Hope The Bad Boy is back out on the road soon.
