Driving to work on Friday morning in our lasses W3, gearbox decides it doesnt want to work anymore and locks up solid stalling the engine and that was that, only i was right in the middle of a narrow bridge blocking traffic from both ends 100 yards from a busy crossroads at 8 o'clock rush hour, got to love the character of these cars never do anything by halves LOL!

Oh and then to add insult to injury some arse decided it would be a good idea to brick the window on my Clio the next day :evil:

Unfortunately the chips are well down at the minute so the tax has been cashed in and its sitting looking sorry for itself in the garage until further notice! Luckily i have a spare window for mine so that should be back on the road very soon
