Haha, nice one Pete, and then 2 miles down the road, my A/C stopped blowing cold and started making ominous gurgling noises......... After we got to Chesh's we found a hose had rubbed through on the compressor pulley and refrigerant was hissing out......

Oh and I forgot the other thing we saw, a 960, albeit in estate form, half a mile from Chesh's house, with a number plate that if one digit was changed to a 3 would have been Rupert, aka V6Man! I had to look twice as I approached it, and it made me wonder if I was just thinking the plates were alike, but it was confirmed my thoughts were correct when we arrived at Chesh's. Random or what?

Ah yes, Foggy can't take all the credit, your hose going at this hottest time of year couldn't be good!

And then there is the general warm start of my car.......... it started everytime on the first turn of the key...........<cough> with about 15 seconds of cranking or more! <cough> :lol: I'll investigate further.
