ARRRRRRRGH

by tazz666 » Tue Oct 12, 2010 3:28 pm

have you ever had one of those days that nothing goes the way you planned,
Well i had one yesterday I decided to change the manifold gaskets on the cali ,so i took the bumper off,and drove up the ramps, when i got to the top my clutch cable snapped and the car lurched forward off the ramps and i have crushed the drivers sill .its not to bad but it looks bad as the plastic has twisted up :(
but i have my kit to hide it, so i suppose i had better get my finger out and sort it out :roll:

That's seriously bad luck, having it snap at that moment.
Hope it gets sorted ok.
