oh god i fell sick! wat an absolutley mad weekend. i have to say this is a weird introduction to vivas!


travelled up thurs, took 3 hours. got 2 station and rang the aa anyway as it was firing on 3 cs, the guy changed sparks leads but then tested compression on plug4, where it had none at all! so to the local garage it was! they opened up the head unit and somehow summit had fell thru the plug hole and damaged the piston!!! i saw the damage and it wasnt pretty! so now the garage are completing the work and ive gotta head back up again and pay the rather large bill!

the car is in decnt condition and i swear tu yo, this is gonna be my baby.

is it always gonna be this way fellow viva freaks?
