Do bear in mind that you **might** be doing yourself damage by not getting it looked at. You should probably get it checked. I was told that by a physio who I trust (as know personally) - I should have got mine sorted earlier in the year....

Much faffing about with the Super Monkey Car today

I took it to the brake place which failed to fit me in the other week - turns out they don't offer appointments, you have to just turn up and hope for the best. They said they could fit me in in about an hour, so I drove home again, but due to traffic (they're right across the city) I only had time to drink about three sips of coffee before it was time to go back.

Turned out some job was taking longer than expected, so I had to wait another twenty minutes, sitting in the car listening to Radio 4, before they finally got the car up on a lifty thing.

The chap took one of the wheels off and commented that the disk didn't look too bad, so unless it was warped I might not need anything doing (they're good that way, which is why they're always so busy). I described the symptoms (pretty bad juddering when braking above 40 - 50mph) and he had a good look, poking at various other bits like bushes, before concluding that they were fine. So we decided to go for the brake replacement anyway.

Of course it then turned out that they didn't have parts for a 1989 Orion, and couldn't get hold of them until tomorrow morning.

So tomorrow afternoon I shall repeat the whole process again

Unfortunately my MX5 is undergoing minor surgery at the moment, so I'm having to drive the 3.3L V6 into work. Unfortunately that engine is in a Chrysler Grand Voyager...

Firstly, at least it was made this century. I win. Secondly, I am proud to drive my girlfriends car. She has told me I can be.

I wear the trousers in our relationship - she has even let me say so!

Anyway, tonight I will be getting some extra work done.

Forgot to ask - what? You aren't having that fetching pink paint hue chart spray job replaced with one in solid red are you??

My Mazda may be a relic, but it's still worth more than the Ka. Injury time winner

It's only pink down one side (damn Japanese paintwork). I may well treat the whole thing to some T-Cut when I get it back - as pretty much every "company protection officer" on the main gate at ClientCo has told me to do for the last 18 months.
