after seeing Harry Potter last Saturday

[Dave the OAP]

I was trying to gt out of the Car park at the marina...very tight, when I cuaght the kerb whilst turning.......


it made a grinding sound but I thought it was just the wheels....


turned out I caught the sills and its gouged a bloody great chunk in it below the door.

I am just off out to see how much it will cost


that is four things this month


Bex's hair dryer - £30
The boiler - £300
the gas fire - ?
now the car - £700?


WTF next?


I am rapidly becoming a very poor man

I know the feeling mate. Had my car a few months then:-

1. The sump went in the enigne promplty leaking engine oil every where.

2. Connection rod in the gear box goes.

3. Clutch Packs up.

Costs=
Steam clean engine= £40
Sump=£80
New clutch and connection rod=£235

Im only 18 and hardly earning enough to cover this looks like im gonna be fairly poor this Christmas!
