In Your Car Boot?

[The Joker]

I am going to put a big fire in the boot of my car.........What I thought was a simple water leak through a split hose has turned out to be a head gasket blown...........Again...........It only had the heads done a few months ago. If anyone is thinking of getting a Mitsi Shogun, don't...............Jon

Bad luck Jon, should you get it repared again get them to check the heads, I dont think they did last time :aargh4:

All was done as it should of been, but the water leak which I had,( which remained undetected), was allowing the car to cook more, which caused the heads to go again..........I think I shall go and park it in France
