Well here we are again another year and more adventures,my first note

is for the lads,why does a wife require a tiled bathroom so that all

water spilt can drain away correct,than why is there a need for that

blasted rug,but wait there's more the rug needs a rug to protect it

right just incase you spill some water?
Next Slim is driving me over the edge with a constant nagging

problem,of i won't start now or ok i'll start but thats it no trip
so away i go with hammer in hand and death in my heart,but lucky for

slim barb call out you 2 play n ice or i'll come out and both of you

will be in for it so hammer down slim stops backfireing So i park my

but just in front waiting for a devine intervention 2 hours later

nothing well i gess it's up to me first change dizzy and replace

points cap rotar all plug leads,nothing so coil nothing i know

electric fuel pump $150.00 later nothing ,back to hammer and while

using some excellant words that i picked up at the worf when i drove

trucks,i slowly edge towards the smart alic ute so barb wont see me

but i hear her again put the hammer down and step away from the

vehicle,she can see through walls i always suspected it now i'm sure,
but back to the horrer tale ,what next maybe filters blocked i use 2

change both make sure the arrow is going the right way yep nothing now

i run screaming for a bigger hammer no little 4 pounder this time,i'm

going for the 14 pounder but lucky for slim i run out of puff running

with the larger hammer by the time i drag it to him i haven't got the

strength to swing it but it's there for next time ,you know i am sure i

an hear snickering from that possesed ute.
Next a trip to budgewoy to pick up fernature from barbs mum we are

both a bit worried about the bugger making it but no worries untill we

hit the penant hills road from the motorway friday peak hour we are

stoped in the midel lane ,but betwaen the hornes honking them thinking

me and my wife are having fun at there expense,i manage to get him

moving again but 400 meters later again a stop but this time i manage

to get him on the foot path, and barb hope out asking where i put the

hammer,while i ponder the problem she sits under a tree
While i'm running back and forward across the freeway with my eyes

shut tempting fate nothing happens so back to the ute ,on the way i

see a hotrod front guard just laying there,now my mate in a wheel

chair is making a trailer for the chair so he can carry stuff so

with excitement in my voice i trot back to brb and with a smile say

look what i found, now i have been scared before but the look in those

eyes put a shudder down my spine and the comment of fix the ^&*%(ng

thing made me think maybe i should try so i say to slim with a kindly

tone in my voice please start and get us to nanners and you know what

the rotting bugger did just that
So when i arrived at barbs mums i went into find the problem mode i

changed dizzy coil points plugs leads again set timimg ,and he run

great until i wanted to go somewhere I hate vw's
so i loaded him up with good and chattel and rope it down for the trip

home next day we set of and that little bugger went like a dream and i

am pretty happy with my self no problems at all, next day the stinking

ute won't move beyond the front yard now i am really stumped the only

thing i havent looked at is the tank and i have nearly a full tank,
but gather the buckets and undo the ose sit and watch the fuel flow

no problems at all runnning free, pull of all lines and poke with wire

and air all free now i am really blow away but,i decide to do new

lines from tank to pump new filt6er and leave 1 on as i use 2

the key and he jumps to start and idels a bit fast but all seems ok,

so after all the grief i still have no idea what was wrong there must

have been a rubber flap in a line that just closed the pipe down i

have heard it happen and this must be what happened here I HOPE

steve
here is a pic of the nasty bugger

Time to get a hyundai excel. HA HA

Greedy I have sent my daughter to manchester university in england to study writing...but you have just written the best story i have seen on here

do you mind if i copy your story and send it to her? heheh....you might become rich and famous! (just don't kill the ute!)

That , to me, was worth wading through some of stuff that appears on this forum. Much better than TV. Nice work greedy.

Cheers, Greg
