you could drive for a couple of miles, and then call the AA out (remember to do some damage to your car, so it cant be mended by the roadside), they take you and your car to your destination (goodwood). you would also save the cost of petrol

(but at least he was reading about the over head cam and not the ohv one cause I'd of been worried)
Now's he's in a bad mood!
(by the way, if anyone would like to point out that I need to get a life, it's already noted....)

Is your bear a 'she' as 'Fred' my bear would be interested in finding out?
(Mmmm... bear dating, now you never thought you'd see that in here?)

I hope the AA don't read this!
Jim, my bear is a she actually. I'll see if she can make it to Castlewellan. Some baby bears might be nice.

Fred's getting abit love struck, wants to know this ladies name?
Jim
I think we should stop this now before it gets too silly.
No, wait, it got too silly 10 posts ago.
She doesn't have a name, she's anybodys for the right price.

So from fraud with the AA, Gay Marriage, and panda drowning we're now on Bear 'ladies of the night' that will do anything for money.....
I'm thinking of leaving this Forum cause it's really going downhill!
(except for I started most of those topics.... oops )
Anyway, 48hrs from now I should be well down the M6 with the CD up, the roof down and the shades on.
Well, here's hopin anyway......
Fred's makin sure that it should all go to plan!

Took him for a run down to Larne to get a few things for the trip and we ended up beside a novo panda in the exact same shade of silver!

Then it all went horribly wrong. With just over 24 hrs to the ferry the fuel pump has cracked and is spewing petrol out.... So now he Immobile, 25 miles away and has a fair chance of being replaced by a Mazda on this trip!
It's the pipe on the left (where the rubber hose is slightly pulled back) has cracked where it goes into the pump body.
I knew I shouldn't of let that bloody bear anywhere near it....

Edit: Oh dear. Poor Panda!

I've managed to find this on the black panda
It looks the same base but the pipes are in slightly differnt places
Juppy is 87 and the black panda is 91
Before I do a 50 mile round trip anyone any idea if it'll work?
(mild panic settin in)
(the bear stayed with Juppy, I think he was too ashamed to come home so I've no one here to give me a second opinion, hehe)

Ah no Jim! That's typical! What about Bo? Can you not take him? I'm not sure if that pump will fit as I've no real experience with 4X4s.
