Nope not the rubber joint
106 meet this Sunday? Ahh bugger. Id forgotten when it was. Terry's asked me to give him a hand on friday and sunday this week shifting loads more stuff from the garages- quicker thats done the quicker we can get in there.
Tuesday 22nd January
Flymo is dying a horrible death now, theres no point me really putting in any effort to fix it with only a week to go until it comes out anyway.
It is sad to see a decline after its been so reliable 
Started off when cold it started up first time every time, but by the time ive done a few junctions and stopped again the engines cut out. Starts up again and then runs fine all the way home (weird?)
The next stage of decline came this morning. Ive sat in a carpark for 5 minutes trying to start her up, sounding as rough as Adsayer after a nights binge at Trax, with the engine management light flashing away.
Once started though its ran fine all the way home. The last bit has only happened twice in 3 days.
Will it survive until the end of the month?.............

No worries, as you say earlier were in the garage the better!
And do what sam sam says, run it on beer and film it die  Lol
only problems with no toeing eyes is if your on track and bin it they wont be worried about wrapping round anywhere they can - your not supposed to get out the car so you exactly tell them where to tie it round if its not visable Lol.
1 answer - Just dont bin it!
EDIT:- Reply to my text, cheers mate.
