lady_t_220The universe always has and always will have its own secret and intuiative ways of kicking you in the head until it makes its point. At work it will make you miserable until you do what you really should and move on, in life it will make things difficult until you grow enough to cope.
In automotive transport, it will just take the piss.
JR, is not a happy man. JR is a man much attatched to the rolling deathtrap he called a van, an ex-police dog handling unit sprayed in Vauxhall China Blue with an angine that clatters, a clutch that sticks and brakes that only work when they feel like it.
He loves and adores this van and in the past 6 years he has been living with us we have all, at some point or another, pointed out that he might like to consider getting maybe something newer. Something more reliable. Something that doesn't cost him the price of a brand new car to keep on fixing. Something that won't break down so regularly that you're unwilling to actually drive it anywhere too far from home...
But he said no. He said no, no, no, no... sentimental value, NO!
He got downstairs this morning and you know what...?
Some fucker's nicked it... XD

Addendum - About a half hour later...
Oh Christ almighty... OK, the police called and they found it, abandoned in the middle of a residential area up near Burleigh college. I took him up there to retreive it cause apparently it wasn't too badly damaged. Juvenile joyriders most likely. They'd abandoned it in the middle of the main road because the sticky clutch got... well... stuck, and the police had to move it out the way.
*snickers*
I shouldn't laugh, I really shouldn't. If it was Nataku then I'd be pissed as all damn hell, but it's just like... the universe has it out for this van. It needs to be put out of its misery, you know what I'm saying?
It's lost a wing mirror, had a side window smashed, been driven up a shitload of kerbs (Steering's fucked, wheels are ground to rubbery pulp) been abused with a screwdriver, I'm like fucking seriously man... let it DIE...
But no, he's on the phone to Andy talking about how best to patch it up... *facepalm*
The Cosmos has a sick sense of humour, man. It'll blow the fucker up next time, just you watch...
