Default As if my week couldn't get worse!!

Went to Royals Car Park today, do a bit of Xmas shopping. Went through entrance, over the speed bump, REALLY SLOWLY, and smacked the car's front end down, as I went over it! Opps, that hurt, but never mind. Driving around trying to find a space, and noticed the temp gauge..... OH MY GOD don't think that needle is mean't to be that high!!
PArked up, let it cool down, called AA, only waited 1/2 hr, and got taken down to ESB!
MASSIVE THANK YOU TO THE GUYS DOWN THERE!
They looked at my car, and found a small hole in rad, fixed, and now I'm mobile again!!

Got to admit, when my rad went in the scooby at the beginning of the year, Jamie sorted me out a new one VERY quickly!
