What made you UNHAPPY today!

what? 

[Jukka]

I got Evora car tax invoice. Must pay 25800€ before the car can be registered.

It's hard to live in this 'tax-loving' country.

Run away! 

[Jukka]

It's easy to say but difficult to implement.

Holy Hell! I was discussing this with Kimbers and Kim once, regarding how in the end everything (schools, roads, etc.) all need to be paid for, but how amazing the difference is in how each country collects those monies. In Suffolk County, New York, where I bought my Evora S, the sales tax rate is 8.625% and the annual registration fee (paid to the State) is only $48.50 for 2 years.

Muttering last week that I need a break from work, same this week. Decided to check the holiday chart as my diary had nothing booked out in the next few weeks but felt sure I have booked a few days of hols. Found I had last Thursday and Friday booked off.

Crikey it comes early in Finland bud! It's gone down to 15 degree's here...brrrrrrr!

So I had a crap week last week. My dog had Hepititus and my daughter was rushed in to hospital because baby wanted to come 10 weeks early. Luckily both are sitting here at home right now looking much better

We are on our second snow so far... Looks kinda like Jukka's photo outside.

 

First snow, in the city, was the first week in Oct.  It snows much earlier in the mountains.

Missing my direct flight and having to go home via LHR. Still in BA Lounge.

On the plus side the patient did really well

[Bibs]

21st century problem! 

 

Good work on the patient! You're all heart

[Jukka]

I got a letter from Germany, Lybeck. A pic from traffic camera. The smiling driver sits in Evora. Hopefully only 20€.

[Bibs]

Do you have to pay cross border fines?

[Jukka]

I don't know. Hopefully not. I'am trying to find what happens if I forgot to pay.

[qwerty123]

Forget and find out.

 

Mostly they can do nothing.

Until you go back to Germany?

 

Anyway, what made me unhappy.

 

1) I was changing the rego sticker on my car listening to Tangerine Dream on the cd player, when I noticed the leather on the glove box lid cracking. Dash itself is ok, just the glove box lid. Weird. I thought to myself, ok, I'll hit the leather with a leather moisturiser, though down the track, it'll be a recover of the lid.

2)  Anyway, the second one was as I was doing the leather ('cos you can't stop at just the glove box lid) all of a sudden the cd player starts polling track 01 only, won't play and doesn't respond to the eject button very well which I think is a result of the laser head not reading correctly. I'll try another disc, but I'm thinking the Pioneer unit I have is stuffed.

Ha the wonderful power cut. This happened to us about 15 years ago on on Christmas morning and was off for the following three days and to make it worse we lived out in the sticks and the roads were blocked. The following year we were to make up for the previous one, the wife cooked the Turkey, took it out of the oven to let it cool and the dog managed to get into the kitchen and eat the bloody thing before we got chance. Year three, went out for Christmas lunch and the car broke down on the way back.

Result. Christmas lunch cancelled for year four and had a New Years special lunch instead.

[Kimbers]

What made me unhappy is I didn't move as quickly as my collegues on Thursday night. Owch, Hurty.

Just fitted all the replacement ignition parts to the old S3 as suggested and still after 10/12 miles she gives a back fire then stalls, 10 minutes later start up again and g another 4/6 miles then repeat the procedure, severely miffed

My newly re-bearinged washing machine has decided it's a good idea to trip the RCD when I try to use it. Hope it isn't the drum spider cracked, allowing the drum to wear through the heater and thus earth the heater power....if it is, I think I shall be out the £6.50 that the bearings cost....as the spider is going to be £80 to £100 and the heater is £20 to £30, so she'll be a write off. Ah well, ran beautifully for a few months.....
