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??  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  , smashing the glass into a million bits and leaving a masive big hole 
It was  with rain as usual, there was glass every were and i was geting told off from a four year old 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  D3 SE auto
D2 2 INCH LIFT, SNORKLE, CHIPED (and scratched)
AND THE WEEKEND TOY 90 3.9V8 AUTO FULL CAGE, WINCH AND LOTS OF EXTRAS!

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. 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. Did you think I would leave you crying,
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.

you think that's bad???
on my way home the other night, an alien spaceship came out of nowehere and decided to land exactly where I was driving. the blasted thing touched down right on top of my D3..it frazzled it. When I got out, the spaceship realising what it had done put on its thrust totaly burning me to a cinder in the process...it wasn't a very good day 
seriously, sorry to all who experienced bad luck ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

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).     Did you think I would leave you crying,

Hi Disco Atom,
Wasn't a National Rugby League reff doing the food parcel was it?
Cheers

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... Bodsys Brake Bible
