That time of year again.....

[ViolentJ]

where everything goes wrong at once.....

just had the car repaird after someone backed into it and buggered off.

just replaced the rear shocks after one snapped.

took car in to have a look at my sh*tty handbrake and im told its buggered - discs are binding or some crap so theyre advising new discs, pads, handbrake cable and possible caliper.

also advised front discs want replacing and oh n/s front tyre is below the legal limit.

And to top it all off.... one of the arches i had done a few months ago has now formed a bubble.
