A flying start to the holiday....

Just my luck, at 3.10pm this afternoon on the way home from work on Friday, the car hit a raised manhole, which ripped off the exhaust manifold from under the car, this has also resulted in the sump being dented and possible piston damage to the engine, which could mean a new engine is needed.

I had to organise for the car to be towed, inform the police, insurance company and get Ian to come and pick Dad and I up from the garage.....the insurance company was brilliant and by 5.30 everything was sorted with everyone.

At least I dont have to worry about that while I'm away.
