Threes

1) Wife's car packs up, it's terminal.
Fine, well SWMBO can drive my car, as I use the bike anyway.
2) My bike is smashed.
Well, I can't ride/drive now for a while anyway, so I don't need my car.
3) Brakes fail on my Mondeo, and wife and kids smash through a wall into a
tree.
At least no one was badly hurt.

3 vehicles -> 0 vehicles in 3 weeks.

That's lucky - could have been a lot worse. Hope they get on the mend
quickly. Time for a quiet word with the garage?

Sorry? detail. I've never heard of both circuits failing catastrophically

She swerved to avoid hitting stopped traffic ahead and oncoming traffic on

The rear brakes were replaced last week. Suspect? I would have thought so.

I'd go for the BMW personally!

 

Thanks mate, I've just about had enough.

Sorry, following a recent EU ruling, shit now happens in fours, not the
previously common threes.

Brace yourself.

 

Eeek. Scary. has the heart rate slowed down yet?

This is good.

Vehicles can be replaced.

Have we met recently?

 

Jeez Steve, who have you been dissing? If you want a hand with
anything, just give us a call..

 

Thanks Jackie, I'm off to see whether I can get the family at least one
vehicle today. The others will hopefully follow. Being without a vehicle
is a really bizarre experience, I now know why people would like a better
public transport system.
