VERY BAD DAY!

Took my little boy Sean to see Happy Feet yesterday, on the way called into a local tool shop just to enquire about a compressor. Twenty mins later we left having spent a bl**dy fortune,new compressor and all the air tools youll ever need?? Confused Confused Thats the good bit,

As we shot round the roundabout on our way for pre film food the compressor decided to try and jump out the back window Shocked , smashing the glass into a million bits and leaving a masive big hole Mad

It was Censored with rain as usual, there was glass every were and i was geting told off from a four year old Shocked WTF . In the panic i forgot about the reverse wipe which made an allready big hole bigger and threw even more glass around the car. Then had an 36 mile round trip back home to swop discos and get back to the cinema, just stoping long enough
to get an ear full when i got home from the always sympathetic wife Embarassed

I've been in similar "kick a man when he's down" situations, so I'm very sympathetic to your misfortune. However...

I don't know about your D3, but my LR3 has these nifty tie down points in the cargo area. Wink Sorry...I just couldn't resist.

Hi Simon,
Eeouch. Would of hurt.
You get those days. I had one 2 weekends before X-Mass. Scrapped both pass side doors with 13cm dia log, to a depth of 6mm,broke right foot and got sunburnt, through thick cloud and smoke from bushfires. All within the space of 1 1/2 hours whilst doing charity work, delivering X-mass trees for Oxfam.
Disco is now fixed, got back last working day before X-mass. Foot still recovering; but as long as My Disco is ok everything is ok.
Regards
David.

When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.

Hi RonP,
Your girlfriends in your gallery are quiet fetching. Esp. the one with the red make-up. Don't show anyone from Nuw Ziiland, though, as they will try and steal your girlfriends hearts; and they have plenty of experience. (National pastime).

RED DISCO, can you let us in on your new technology for your LR3, "air-bag suspension" does that mean that you only have suspension when you crash... Wink
