    Of course it happens just before a show and interstate trip...

    I was hearing a "ticking" sound coming from the drivers side of the car which I thought I should have checked out so I headed down to Camden GTI... seems there was THREE nails in the tyre.

    No problems, the tyre guy in the complex had that sorted out right quick...


    Then as the guy reverses the VR6 out it sounds a little funny...

    Seems the coil pack has just shat itself too

    A few more dollars down and a new one should be in by this afternoon.

    Convenient timing? Better today than half way to Melbourne on Saturday I suppose.
