just thought id share my little story with you which is kind of stupid sad and amazing at the same time,,
boxing day, and heading of with my wife and daughter to see the family in my touring when dash lights came on due to the fan belt snaping as soon aswe hit the motorway,,
we pulled over, unraveled the belt and looked for some water,, this is where i should of just left it or got recovered but i did not want my girls on the side of the motorway and all recovery trucks were flat out bizzy.. i waited for a while for it to cool down and put all the water we had in it one small drink bottle,,
we set off to see how much further we could get and to my surrprise we nearly made it, a steady 80mph all the way, temp off the radar, battery dying and pissing with rain, wipers keped stoping,, did really well untill we hit traffic, we must of covered 50miles, with no water, fan or pump.. most cars iv had befor would of only done 2 miles..
as you could imagine this has fu**ed the engine, so a good time to start the conversion iv been thinking of,,
it seems a shame to have killed her for the sake of a £5 belt but the girl did good and got my family back safe..
unbelievable last run

Me and a mate drove an E30 (m10 shitter) 20 odd miles with no waterpump in the summer, pulled out the rad and grills for some air-cooled action

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
