So on Tuesday I hit 10K miles, a little more, and i set up an oppointment to have her serviced yesterday.
Wednesday night, i went to go get dinner and i hear a really loud tapping, like someones tapping the dash coming from somewhere and it stops for a second and then my friend in the back seat tells me that its coming from my speakers. so i put it on the list of things for the dealer to look at.
On top of that when i get home and im taking my stuff out of the boot and i felt that the passenger side of my carpet was wet
So i put that on the list for the dealer to look at.
So the list was as follows :
-10K mile service
-Check rear passenger speaker
-Check for leaks

Then the morning of the appointment (yesterday) I walked outside and saw that the fog light cover piece on the passenger side was gone . And to add injury to insult somebody probably kicked the front of my car (while it was in my driveway) and they split the lower grille thats in the bumper down the middle.
so now its the above and the fog light, and grill

I dropped her off at around 6:45AM and told Alex (my MA) about everything and asked him to work his magic.

Today at about three when im coming home from school in my sisters 01 VW Golf (1.8L with a turbo, so not to bad) I get a call from Alex and everything is fixed. Except, he had to replace the passenger side rear window and the window on my hatch. What really makes it stink is that it takes the seals 24hrs to cure, so i dont get her back till hopefully tomorrow.
I can only hope I can take the panther back home soon

 

So what's wrong? Everything got fixed and works (hopefully) so why the long face? MINI's are great! No matter how many problems they have!

It's aalllwaaays something!

 

I've gotta ask. What are you doing to incur the wrath of so many people?

 

this could be kharma. did you treat or do anything wrong to anybody lately? i've noticed that 'what goes around comes around'.
maybe you should look back to your dealing with people and think whether you behaved righteously or selfishly....than you can control your path better.

through my years of life, i have come to realization that nothing happens without a reason and everything happens for a reason. let them who have ears, hear.

 

+1 I went through a phase where I was at the dealer once or twice a week, but as long as it all got fixed I don't see where the problem is. And think of the 24 hr wait as medicine; just a little at the mercy of the elements right now and you'll be all better tomorrow

 

Gromit, you're aalllwaaays funnnny!

 

Maybe they're the jealous type of bastards!!

 

Thank you! I'm here till Tuesday! G'night!

 

Certainly makes you wonder.

 

i would think that my kharmas fine, i always drive nicely, and let pedestrians pass, and stuff, the only bad thing that happened recently was that i broke up with my now x-girlfriend, and she knows i love my car, and if she was gonna do anything i think she would do worse.

And I got the panther back this morning anyway, they fixed everything, and i guess that distance makes the heart gets fonder, cause i fell in love all again

 

i think those people are the other kids in my shcool who like to mess with the cars that belong to people they dont like!

 

"Why does God hate me?"

 

Or he just rode the front bumper up onto a parking curb, happens a lot, but it easier to blame some mysterious and evil stranger...

 

Kind of a side note but it's interesting how you mention kharma and then quote a Bible verse.. just an interesting mix of faiths IMO.

 

well no cause that wouldve cracked the entire lower bumper right this showed up while the panther was in my driveway, and i dont have and parking curbs in my driveway
