Car Trouble.....
How bout a non-poker post for a change?
Was out with a few of the lads tonight, and decided to drive up to Howth summit to chill out for a while (lovely view and all that!). Anyway, as we're going to leave, the fcuking car wont start! So out I pop to check oil, etc, but can't seem to figure out why it won't start.
So over come these two lads to give us a hand, and one of them turns out to be a mechanic. He explains that either the battery is dead or the oil has gone. Now I don't know much about cars, (key goes in, car turns on...), but I know to take care of them and check the oil, brake fluid etc. regularly. Anyway, the lads push the car down the hill to see if I can start it while the cars in motion, but that didn't help, so we had to ring a friend to come up with oil, and a tow lead.
So after an HOUR he arrived and and towed me down to Sutton village (about a mile), where we found someone with jump cables to try and jump start it, which thankfully worked!
Finally arrived back home, but christ, so much fcuking effort! Gonna have to bring it in and get it serviced tomorrow. Its been acting a bit strangely the last few weeks. Stupid thing is I was due to book it in this week for a service! D'OH!
