Entry for 13th August, 2008

I mentioned recently that I have been doing the family budget in an effort to prevent us being thrown into the snow by the sheriff officers.
Hoever my very well laid plans have, like those of many men (and some rodents) have ganged aglay.
In this case, the thing that made them gang aft aglay was the snow. More specifically: the effect the snow, combined with my Significant Other's attempt to manouevre the car through it. Here is my tip: if your car's wheel's start to spin in the snow, the way to try to address the probelm is not to rev your engine up to 850,000 whilst not fully depressing the clutch.
Also - do not ignore the burning smell.
That will be what used to be your clutch.
