Driving home i see a low Mk1 blocking all the traffic, causing people to swear. I get closer and see that it's Jord. LOL

After much swearing and jumping out in the traffic, we got the MkFail to the side of the road.

Not the best time for a broken clutch cable TBH! :eek:

You owe me a passenger ride now lad! ;)
 
die indeed!

en route to pick up my cylinder head freshly skimmed......1st/2nd gear get harder and harder to use....f**king put clutch down to go into first at a set of lights, on a duel carrigeway, in the fast lane.....and SNAP.....clutch cable goes.....

stuck in fast lane for 10 mins....all of a sudden, RB182 swerves round me, christopher lol............;)

RAC came, put a replacement cable in, snapped as he was testing it.........put another one in, pedal snaps this time.....so had to be towed home......FAIL!!

thats JP exhausts cancelled on friday :dapprove:

Ahh gutted for you jord. Bad luck matey. Lucky that Chris turned up to give you a hand. Bet he was one of the one's swearing at you before he realised it was you.

Could you not have started it in 1st then match the revs.

Had to do this with the work bus once, not fun, but it got me home........slowly.
