I drove from Ardee to Monaghan with the handbrake on...it's not working now.

Your first mistake? Being in Ardee. Your second? Wanting to go to Monaghan.

The handbrake thing comes a distant third.

90 quid for labour and new brake shoes that cost 10 sterling online.

They had a nice calendar of bare ladies in the office though, so there's that I suppose.

Apparently our car needs a new clutch or something like that. €1,500.

 

[therealjohnny]

No but a new(er) car might.

not that i know much of anything about car stuff but that sounds like they're taking the piss

i would have thought it would cost something more like half that at most

 

[therealjohnny]

I was expecting 60 quid or so, including labour. I made him write out an invoice and go over it with me .He apologised that it was so high but stuck to his guns.

It might be the entire transmission that needs doing. Caveat: I don't understand cars.
