🚐 Service Update – Honestly, You Couldn’t Write This… 😂
Right, gather round for the next episode of “What Can Go Wrong With Sam’s Vehicles This Week?” 😅
So, after the never-ending gearbox drama with the main van, we finally have a “solution”…
The garage is now sending my original gearbox off to be fully reconditioned because none of the replacements wanted to do their job. (Can’t blame them really, I’d be tired too at this point! 🤦♂️)
Meanwhile, the little back-up van thought it would join the party and started puffing smoke like a budget steam train 🚂💨
It’s been in the garage for a few weeks now having a full “what on earth is going on?” investigation.
And just when I thought I’d hit my plot-twist limit…
The milkman wrote off my car.
Yes, you read that right. The. Milkman. Wrote. Off. My. Car. 🥛🚗💥
(At this point I’m thinking of travelling everywhere by bicycle 🚲 and trailer … but I’d probably get a puncture!)
So if I’m getting to you slightly slower than usual, it’s simply because I’m juggling vans, repairs, swaps, and a whole lot of deep breaths. I am still getting around everyone — it’s just taking a little longer to get back to “normal” (whatever that is anymore 😂).
But honestly, through all this chaos, I just want to say a huge thank you again for your patience, support, and loyalty. You’ve all been absolute legends and it means the world 🙏💚
Here’s hoping the next update is less “sitcom” and more “good news” 🤞
So much for the luck of the Irish! 🍀😅
