Talking Ha Ha Ha !!! Our Car Blew Up Today !!!!



Yup, just when things could not get any worse, just when I had been having a CT scan to try and find out what is wrong with my thumb (long story), we went to Stockland Mall to collect a prescription.

And as we parked, smoke was billowing out of our trusty landy like I have never seen - I ran out thinking we were about to be engulfed in an inferno, Jason ran out and tried to open the bonnet - BIG MISTAKE........burnt half his hand.......

We managed to find a towel, open the bonnet, and found the radiator had blown up and all the stuff in it has leaked all over the carpark.

So cue the RACQ, a greasy tower truck, a trip to the radiator place, dump my beloved landy, a taxi to the airport, collect a hire car - then straight to the bottleshop for a stock up.

But I did get my prescription - and we got all the scan costs back on Medibank (think they made a mistake but we are not telling them). It just gets better and better and better!!!!

So long as I have a car to pick Sophie up I really don't give a flying s****e any more.

Oh god you really have gone through some crap lately. I am so sorry. Hopefully, just hopefully, that will be it for now. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you have a better year than the last year.

Best of luck


Claire

We got my landy back and it only cost about $200 dollars.......funny how attached you can get to a car!!!

Feeling much better today, so thanks guys. Just remember - if smoke is flying out of your engine, don't open the bonnet with your bare hands !!! Or stand in the boiling hot leaking radiator fuel - not a good look when your flippers melt ! a xx
