Having a run of bad luck at the moment.
Someone set fire to my place of work so I was off for 2 weeks when I really need money.
I found out the chip in my windscreen cant be fixed so need a new one. Cant really afford it.
Today I was going down an old lonnin' (spelling?) and damaged my exhaust.
Its blowing from the front end. Aint got a jack so cant have look yet.
I failed my 2nd year at uni and am currently trying to sort out of there is any chance of going back.
Broke up with my girlfriend who I was with for over a year.
Sorry for boring you.

£60 I think it is so its not too bad.
I'm not sure but is it right that it doesnt affect your no-claims?
The troubles you have being down 60mm on 15's and visiting relatives on farms lol.
I think i'm due some good luck.
Lottery ticket for Saturday me thinks.
I'd rather be spending the money modding my car than fixing it. 
What ya getting done to your car stoney?
Its in the shop aint it?

shouldn't affect your no claims for new windscreen.
is your MOT due or sumin, cause you can leave it till then
least your saving money without the girlie, and you can go out wiv ya m8s when eva you like and pull new birds
neva know what round the next corner m8, you might even win the lottery.... which reminds me...

Hmm....
Jacked the car up to have look at the damage.
There is a hole just before the middlebox on the top of the pipe. Gonna sort that out.
I also hadnt checked my tyre tread for a couple of months and have realised i'm runnin illegal fronts.
Because of the mad camber on the front the inner edge is fooked.
2 new 195/45/15's for me lol.
Can it get any worse?
oh, and I didnt get any numbers on the ol' lotto

Latest update.
You lot aint gonna beleive this.
Sorted out the tire problem. 2 new Yokohamas fitted this mornin before work.
But....
On the way home hit a bump, front passenger side caught on the arch a bit.
Next thing I know my arch (the black plastic bit) rips off and takes the sideskirt with it!
Heres me doing 60mph draggin the skirt behind me.
My mate reached out and grabbed it till we got home.
Jacked the car up, detached the bit of the skirt that was it tact and then turned up late for work.
Fitting the standard shocks and springs 2moro.
I'm selling it as standard and gettin another sport lol.
