    Exclamation you wont belive this

    Okay well last week, im driveing back to melbourne from phillip island.. an all of a sudden my Vt just cuts out! At 1st i thought it must be out of fuel... so trekked my way to the petrol station an back an filled up....... nope not the fuel. So i got the racv out, after messing about for 15mins he figured out that there was no fuel getting to the engine... not even a drop.so it must have been the furl pump! by this time it was 530pm, so he gave me two options, i could pay $3.50 a km to get it towed back to melbourne, or i could get it towed back to his workshop for free an it would be ready the next morning. so alrite i decide to stay the ngiht in a small place called koo wee rup(only got one pub). at my expensive ofcourse!
    so the next morning i get a ph call from the mechanic, saying hes found another problem arghhhhh
    so i went down to the workshop an he showed me the fuel module which hold the fuel pump an sits in the tank! WTF??? its bloody bent to the ****. an he cannot explain how it happend at all. its like someone took it out an stomped on it!
    so anyways $450 dollars later im back on the road! errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    angry

    ohh by the way i only just brought the car 3 days before that!
