Melaka Trip Last Day - when vacation went wrong.

i'm sure when anyone of you is going for a holiday, the last thing you want to happen is something that can make ur vacation turn into a nightmare. for example, having a fever and have to stay in the hotel for the rest of the trip? or walking around the town and gotten ur wallet stolen? or even worst, having your vehicle break down?

well, i guess you'll know where this is heading, by looking at the photo below..

still dont get it? try to focus at the centre of the photo..look at it real carefully..

yup..it's my car, it's not there because it's waiting for a green light..it's because it break down there..the axle of the right wheel disconnected..it basically means the right wheel have free movement, just like how it felt when ur arm joint dislocated..=.=

me with my "injured companion".

me and sean talking bout how proton ruined our trip.

as soon as my car break down, i called the "road warrior", it's a kind of insurance package or somesort..=)..

standing at the roadside while watching my car being hooked up..T.T

on my way back to puchong..which is around 100km..=.=:

me and arton enjoying the nose up ride..XD..not forgetting felix at the back..XD..

after i reached puchong at about 2 hours later..yup..althought it's just 100km..but because a tow truck cant travel faster than 60km/h with a car towing at it's back, so u can do the calculations how long it took us to reach there..=.=.

and after the foreman checked the car..it turned out that the last time when i send my car to adjust the alignment, the new foreman which i from now i'll call an ass..that ass didnt tighten up the bolt near the axle, and as my car drove on, the nut slowly unscrews itself and eventually, it became loose due to the torque the car is producing..the foreman said luckily the nut didnt came loose when the car is in motion.

and as you would expect, i screwed that guy upside down..with words of course..

so here's a leon tip of the day, if you could, dont just leave your car in a workshop and go home, as the foreman might leave ur car in the hands of a numbskull. and if you could find a good foreman, stick with it.

anyway, i dun blame the car for ruining our vacation as it had never gave me this kind of problem, till i leave it in the hands of numbskull. Service your car regularly, and trust me, it will be faithful to you..=)..
