Default looks like im walking

while restoring my escort i have been driving around a VN bomb-adore which i got given for free. now let me tell you. a peice of $**t is an understatement. stuff like the wipers or indicators or lights would just stop working cuse the fuse box was stuffed and had too pull over and play with fuses for a bit.it would be quicker to thru the things that were working.... anyway im sure you get the point.

so im going down the street and the gearbox oil cooler decided it didnt like where it was and decided to fall off. thus all the trans oil came gushing out. :togo: never did trust autos anyway.
turns out the oil cooler was just sitting there ( i think it might of had 1 cable tie) its my fault for never checking it. little more maitenence and it wouldnt of happend.
its amazing that it had lasted this long with out falling off. even more amazing is the fact that the car was on the road for so long without being defected. i didnt even get pulled over by the police. i mean vn commo and p plates ust assumed i would be a target but i never gave them a reason too anyway.


i have a mate in the CFS ( country fire service for those who are wondering)
so i called him and he came out and cleaned up the oil spill on the road as i didnt want to cause an accident by just leaving the oil on the road . then he was kind enough to tow me home because it happend close to home

anyway. now i have no car to drive. luckly the escort is almost finished and ready for roadworthy. cant wait to get back in a ford. never did like commadores and that car didnt do anything to change my mind.
