Gutted

Took the car to the mechanic last week (my uncle), took it in friday for gearbox and clutch change, told me would be monday this week when i got it back.... So upto now the car has been with him 7 days tday

Still waiting, He's come down with Ghout in both feet (crystalisation of bones), he cant walk...

Car is in bits all over his garage, So i cant even collect it to take it elsewhere, he could be off weeks with it, in the meantime i'm driving a P reg citreon berlingo 1.5D with 169734 miles on the clock, Just took it down the m1 and it hits the limiter at 75mph......

What a joke, and funnily enough everywhere i turn there seems to be a saxo....

Starting to lose patience with him now...

What do u think i should so guys?

[mark_saxo]

not really much choice from what i gather. if the cars in bits then i think it might need to stay where it is untill your uncle gets better. anyway mate hope its all gets sorted

[saxodan]

You have a car so its not the end of the world! And its hardly your uncles fualt now is it!!!

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

at least you have a car mate, you could be stuck with no transport!

[Clouds_mate]

Starting to lose patience with him now...

Yes im sure hes well happy about his illness at present.

Id rather have my family healthy then any lump of metal on my driveway. I can understand its annoying as it would piss me off too not having a car but what can you do, he didnt ask to be ill

[Ryan21]

Still shit though in it, I've drove 7.5 tonners, mondeos, mazdas, all sorts this week all borrowed from work, I honestly haven't a clue what i'm driving one day to the next, and like i say everywhere i turn there's a fuckin saxo!

[Ryan21]

Thing is too, Mrs is due to drop anyday, and if i have no transport, which is possible if work want the van i'm screwed!

[Yates]

does he not have anyone else who works for him who can do it?

i find it amusing your gettin pissed of at him because he cant walk

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

do you not know anyone that can move it to another garage?

[David]

how can you move it if it's in bits?

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

you just need a van for the bits and a tow truck for the car!

[babers]

buy a haynes and do it yourself. if you need it that bad mate. i would be more worried about my uncle then my car

[amy_1]

i,m sure that someone would lend you a vehicle to get your partner to hospital and if they don't then that is what ambulances are there for.

as already said, family members are more important than a lump of metal, even if it is an inconvenience for you. i would quite happily watch my sax burn if it meant that i could just have one more hour with my mum!

sorry that sounds harsh but you don't actually realise how much someone means to you until they are not there and you should be doing everything that you can to help him get better!
