My coop needs some TLC in the way of a respray, exhaust manifold, remap, powdercoat my spare wheels, sort out a few interior rattles & now fix an oil leak.
However life just doesn't allow the time for this.
I thought this week at work would be a little quieter & I should have time to spend on the coop.

All week I've been covering other engineers that need a day off because of a runny nose. Start early, home late with more & more jobs racking up.
Other staff been off too with various excuses, parts for a machine build not been ordered. So I am behind on another machine due to be finished next week. Already got 'Boss Hog' chasing me. So next week will be a nightmare.
Tuesday, part of my living room ceiling falls down due to flat above having a leaking washing machine.
Made a nice mess !!!
More work with installations in Australia, Egypt & Poland (None of these are holidays, only 4 nights in OZ), I can't find the time to get my coop sorted. It's looking a right state.

My dad is going to get my coop up on the ramp tomorrow. I hope the leak is nothing serious.
I was meant to be going to meet up with a woman I've met but slightly concerned about my coop dumping it's oil on the motorway. Now she has the 'hump' with me.
I just can't win.
That is my little rant.

Awwww sounds like a bad few days matey - but take the positives out of it, soon you'll have a new ceiling!! Also you may lose a woman but you'll still have a coupé!!! Sounds like a result, what a blinding week lol!!!

Lol, as proccy says, you'll soon have a nice new ceiling and possibly flooring and whatever else upstairs have damaged.

You still have a Coupe and it will be sorted eventually, hopefully cool

If your new woman likes you, then hopefully she'll understand. If not, find one that thinks waiting for a recovery truck is romantic laugh
