(RANT ON!!)

as above!! i'm having a right old time at the mo! the focus was up for it's mot at the start of may. it failed on brake pipes disk's pad's and needed a wheel bearing. not to bad considering.. ordered the brakes from a local place thinkin they'd be cheap. got them here an they wanted £150 for the brakes and the bearing! fook that! went back with em saying i did'nt need them. got onto ebay an got the disk's an pad's for £39 delivered to the door. bloody good for up here!! finally got the thing mot'd an the tester said the front pipe was just starting to leak slightly. well it burst a day after passing. got that fixed yesterday. went to pay me bill for that an tyre's i got in feb. bloody card would'nt work. popped back in along to pay today at 5pm. got home an decided i'd nip back into town to get money out an some beer(i'm gonna have a few tonight now!) was coming up to a single track bridge an never noticed a car on the bridge already i braked, locked up hit some gravel the end result being a bent as fook wheel an a huge rip in one of me tyre's that i just payed for today!!

nobody's fault but my own really. (que the pish taker's!) am laughin about it now but i was f3ckin raging after i'd done it
