[Mark McClure]

so many which one to choose...........oK from a while back!

Whilst trouring NZ in an old Ford Escort Mk1 station wagon we over heated and pulled over at the side of the coutry road. Lifted the bonnet and stared at the engine. After a short talk to my then girl friend ( now wife) I returned to the engine and made an informed judgment that the temp was now low enough to remove the radiator cap. How wrong I was. The cap flow up hit the bonnet returning to meet my hand. Whilst the cap had commenced with it's trajectory the boiling water decided to leave the confines of the radiator and liberaly spread themselves all over my upper body.

Whilst I ran down the road trearing my clothes off my girlfriend stopped reading her book and leaned out of the window. Not really noticing anything unusual with my behavour she returned to reading her book untill I came back to the car.....luckily I only sustained a bruised ego and a burnt nipple. Supprising how limiting that is.
