One of those days!!

I've been feeling below par today.. I could have done with a day in bed probably.

Anyway, I had to get up to take the racer to well known RWD Escort expert Bob Dowen to look at the 'box.

Doing anything with the car is a bit of an effort as the trailer is stored 20mins away.. I also need to load the car on a slope and manouvre around some tight spots. This went ok, although I was sweating buckets by the time I got back in the van.

Anyway, I got to Bob's place and unloaded, chatted about motorsport in general and had a look at the RS200 he had on the ramp..

Attached trailer and went to turn it around and hadn't noticed the Focus parked at the end of the building - I had walked past it and just not absorbed what I'd seen!! CRUNCH - Sh:@! Only light scratches and the owner was due to paint it anyway so he was not fussed at all... I'm sure it's easily sorted but I felt like a right knob, even more so when I kissed the wall pulling off, My towing is normally very good!

Anyway, I got home and picked up a message from a neighbour to say that I'd left the garage open, with tools, spares, bike all in view!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Tomorrow is another day.

Made it half way home to parents before she got too bad and now stuck here. 8 hours driving, 250 on wasted unused hotel rooms & 2 days holiday gone. On the plus side after i post this im recording her snoring so i can tease her when she is better
