Yes Yes this is what Charles decided to do to me this wonderful Friday morning .... thankfully and with God's grace I actually pulled into my parking lot in the office before the plume of smoke and hissing came to it's grand finale ....
Have I said it enough times????
Charles fooking behaves like a spoilt man! ... every single time I don't spend time with him he does this to me ...
If I spend money on something else other than him (as in the case of my recent gift to myself and then he whammer slammed me with a huge bill by kaputting his brake pumps and discs and whatever else he could think of kaputing to cause me a hole in me pocket.
Now after the nasty knock on his bumper .... ok not so nasty buy I don't even know who did it ... I mean I have been driving Charles now going into the 6th year, and I've never hit anyone or had any major bumps on me car except for the one I did to myself thanks to an idiot that ended up with me hitting a bus - don't ask ok Charles was 3 weeks old and cost me RM700 to repair ...
Post that little episode, I am proud to say, never hit anyone never had anyone majorly hit into me either ... except for morons who don't seem to keep their foot on the brakes and 'roll' into my rear bumper ... nothing major, couple of paint scratches - I can live with that .... and the paint on me door being knicked off by thoughtless assholes who slam their doors into your parked car ... ok ok I can live with that too ...
But to reverse into my front bumper, put a major dent into it and disappear into anonimity ... now that hurts coz I've got to get it looked at since the headlamps are a little loose now thanks to that bump ... SHITS ...
So Charles was with mom the last few days, I had hoped mom would be able to swing over to the worskshop that did that miraculous job on Charles years ago ... but no go. So yesterday I drove Charles to court and back. Meant to go to the workshop but I was not in the right mood and the cough I have been fighting just kinda was at it's hacking best so I chose to rest at home ...
Then this morning, as I pull off the NKVE into the Subang exit, I hear a horrid horrid sound ... I look at thermostat - says normal, I turn off aircon maybe it's the aircon belt or something .... nope sound still there ... aiya damn TouchnGo lane one out - traffic is crawling - sound goes away ... office is just off this toll ... come on Charles get me to the office before you kaput ...
Inched into the parking lot and was trying to to reverse park and when I put into reverse mode horrid sound returned ... arrghhhhhhhhh so I drive into the first available lot and then it happens ... smoke from the bonnet ... ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Switch engine off pull open to release bonnet lock ... and wait with all that hissing and steam thankfully not smoke and there's water flowing outta my car from under ... oh SHITS - it's the radiator and that's when finally the thermostat says HIGH - eerrrr a bit late now don't you think !!!!!
But I do take a minute to say Thank you God for nothing happening on the road, and Thank You Charles for dying in the parking lot - at least I can get help ... I think
Whilst I look at my steaming car and try to get my mechanic on the phone a Malay chap comes over, helps me get the bonnet up and checks out the disaster and we note that yes the hose to the metal is not connected anymore and he tries to reassure me it's nothing to worry about - I probably look upset by now as I was about to give Charles an absolutely hard kick myself!!!!
End conclusion - let Charles cool down, fill the radiator up, get a metal clip which ought to be there but seems missing ... and fingers crossed I can drive home safely enough to land Charles at the mechanics ... **wish me luck**
Nevertheless, I have to say, I surely don't lead a boring life hahaahahahha mine's always excitement of some sort!
.ani being .ani :)) - gotta love the adventure **wink**
