Nigel is keeping his Memorial Day tradition of having something break for this
holiday. In '98 it was the starter motor. I can't remember what it was in
'99-but I was getting ready to move and he gave me trouble (and then got
vandalized). '00-that was the summer of the Great Differential Debacle. So,
true to form Memorial Day 2001 not only am I moving but Nigel is giving me a
two-fer! (Like a bonus?)
Well, got Nigel halfway to the mechanics this morning to check out his rear end
click and surprise! The brake went out! I knew the M/C was going to need
changing soon-just how soon was a mystery. That mystery is now solved, eh? The
good news? The rear end click is gone! But, it has been agreed that only 3 of
the 4 u-joints have been changed (I had thought that they'd all been done) and
so it's trying to tell me "change me! change me!..."
After Maurizio finished telling me what a pile of junk my car is ("It'sa
alwaysa brreakingg!") he was kind enough to offer me a two on his AAA card.
(Great-the moving van tomorrow AND a tow truck-can't say I'm not leaving in
style!)
Still, I thank the Goddess that I didn't get a used Nissan or that 10 year old
Miata back in '98-there's not a part on those cars that doesn't cost less than
$250 it would seem!
Back to packing and cleaning!
Laura G. ("Well, at least that's only break fluid in my car port! It's clear!")
