First of all Billing, excellent show then things start to go down hill from there on in.
Get back to my car after wandering around the show for couple of hours, to find some little fcuking chav/prick has stolen my towing eye cover from my front bumper I am fcuking raging about that, I would love to have caught them doing it
Have thought that it could be someone off these forums, would'nt be suprised, if I find out you'll end up like 6 million Jews.
Then get to about 3 miles from home, loss of power from traffic lights, everything goes off, clutch STRAIGHT in as know whats happened straight away, I done it to my mates Calibra Turbo! cambelt has either snapped or rollers have gone just means now my car comes off the road two months earlier than planned.
Excellent, what an excuse now for a mental re-build, I more pissed off about the towing eye COVER

Why is it gay? 
Its off the road now, it does'nt run therefore I collect all new parts and have a re-build. Why not? I wanted the engine out and the engine bay sorted anyway.

Excellent 
Did they mention wether or not they would be paying her?
I'd guess they will give her a set of these new lights
