RedM Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The time has finally come to get the Supra fixed. I left her at the garage tonight. I never thought I'd feel so sad driving away from from her. I might have her back on Saturday but more realistically it'll be early next week. She's in for the autobox swap that I've been banging on about for months now. They are also investigating some noises and play in the suspension, finding the source of an oil leak, fixing said leak, trying to determine the source of the noise I hear in the mornings (..and I don't mean the missus farting!) and maybe doing a cambelt swap and aux belt/tensioner swap too. ...and just as I was leaving the guy pointed out that my front pads were nearly down to the metal! Oh well, it's only money and I do get to go to work by public transport for a few days. But, how sad is the drive that is missing it's normal occupant?:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Tuff isnt it, just wait till you get her back And it will be even better without the box slipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm sure the supe will miss you loads too ( or be breathing a sigh of relief at having a break from you lol) Just think of sending her to the auto equivalent of a health farm She'll come back sleeker, faster, refreshed, and ready to ROOOAAAAR!!!!

Kopite Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Mine's been gone for almost 2 months, was gone for 2 months before xmas which is when all the problems began. Don't expect it to be sorted this month either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Martin, if you are stuck for a car you are welcome to use the Subaru until Monday - it's crap but it's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Never mind sending the car to a health farm, what about sending the owner? LMAO Considering our recent history I think you are taking a huge risk in making a joke at my expense. There is a real risk that it could be misinterpreted. Everyone knows I should be at a funny farm, not a health farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
