Oh I was wearing the FIAT jacket from Mervyn Stewarts all day and the Golf was running Sylvia's battery.... Which leads me on to the 5th Gear nonsense, hehe!
Got the call from Stu about 5th Gear looking pandas and him asking if I could go, we'll a few calls to CPW later, some ferry prices being checked and my boss beggin if he could go with me cause he really wanted to end the day with a restraining order against him from Vicky Butler Henderson, we sort of forgot that Sylvia wouldn't actually run!
So straight on the phone to Mervyn Stewarts and asked if they would bail me out of a hole cause I'd no time to start trying to fix the mystery cutting out problem on the car. Had a chat with Stephen Stewart the Director of Mervyn Stewarts and I was told that Sylvia was their 'Number one priority' that day!!!!
Next day the phone rings and she's ready to lift. Steve's down at my house getting parts for his CLX and kindly gives me a ride in Splutter into town pausing only to cut up a BMW on the Motorway and getting me to repeatedly slam the passenger door on the westlink like a munter.... In the end it didn't have the effect of kicking in the cooling fan but did make the tailgate pop open in a rather stylish comedy effect!
So Sylvia is back after getting some new wiring and a new relay, all washed and ready to go bar the new Number Plates that Uncle Stu is going to sort out tomorrow and some polish to make her shine!
But you know what it's like, I'm having to take a 16 year old panda all the way to London from Belfast and it's only famous for one thing. Doing the unexpected! We'll see how this goes.... Watch this space!
