Rooftops

So, I told the man in the garage to do as little as possible and he said he would. He knows me rather well by now.

So, when I phoned to check on the job at lunchtime he told me that the cylinder head was gone, the rear axle was gone and the clutch too. So I told him just to keep it. He said to late he had already sold it for £10 so I told him I would be along for £5 and he could keep the other half for a pint. :D He was joking of course. A bit of the exhaust was corroded and it was now mended and I could come and collect.

Whew a sigh of relief

So, after work I popped off to collect it. When I went into the office to pay he waved his hand at me and said that he would get it next time. I should have clocked the confidence in his eyes.

Still I left the garage feeling at one with the world.

Got in the car, drove on to the dual carriageway, hit a pot hole and heard the clunk. The damn thing is still loose. So guess where I will be going tomorrow. Hey ho.

I shall also be picking up a copy of autotrader.
