Good day Bad day

Good day: Sun is shining in sunny Cornwall.
Bad day: CQ has a flat battery.
Good day: I'd bought a charge pack for such an occasion a while back.
Bad day: Checking levels and the radiator appeared low.
Good day: No sign of fluids on barn floor and top up easily remedied.
Bad day: Very little fuel in car.
Good day: Again easily remedied with a trip to Tesco.
Bad day: Can't get the bloody fuel cap off (a Christmas prezzie).
Good day: After five minutes of faffing.. I was using the old key!
Bad day: Had to pay for the fuel.
Good day: Lots of smiles and waves from a wide variety of folk whilst on the road.
Bad day: Traffic... Lots of traffic.. and do I smell burning rubber?
Good day: Smell disappeared once free of traffic.
Bad day: Got to beach, open door and the wind bangs it into a parked car.
Good day: CQ is unmarked.
Bad day: Other car didn't fair so well.
Good day: Other cars owner says "Don't worry, it'll come off with T-Cut".
Bad day: Can still smell something 'iffy'.
Good day: CQ got us home, the torque in 2nd easily coped with standing starts.
Bad day: Clutch is no more.. It is deceased.. It is a dead thing.
Good day? Of course it was a good day, what's not to love about the sound of a 5 pot engine? And tomorrow is another day.

The weathers shite this morning isn't it Jake? I'm staying with my folks in looe! Touch wood, so far the CQ is behaving itself! The only downside is that the drivers electric window has decided to only run halfway down, so I'm hoping its going to be enough to chuck the money over when I recross the Tamar bridge!

Hope you get your clutch sorted.
