Nah, you're alright.
Saying that, I wouldn't mind another box of those lighters if you've got any left

Not quite, but we seem to be running low!

Didn't help that my son and I stuck a few in our old microwave (along with various other items) before we threw it out

Feels great to have her back on the road!
Strangely she seems to go round corners better than I recall too - bonus!

What a bitch ! I feel really bad for you after building the car twice. What's up with it ? Not had the best of luck hey ? 1 diff failure, 1 crash & now a breakdown. Sounds like your car is a female, always a catastrophe & costing shit loads of cash. Get divorced ! It's the future lol

Don't mention the d-word... the wife was not a happy bunny when I told her I'd broken down and was going to be home late
She's not a fan of my bit on the side at the best of times!

Hopefully not too catastrophic this time - my alternator belt snapped.

Wouldn't be too much of a problem except that it also drives the water pump on the 1.6, and I've no idea how long I'd be driving it for whilst the coolant was boiling off
Turns out my warning lights aren't very visible when the sun's out....

Bummer! Note to self - "replace alternator belt!". I think I did actually when I bought the donor 3 tears ago as it was already on it's way out.

Dominator headlight look good though, hey!
