Yesterday was the day i finally got my Mach1. I sent it to the repair shop after buying as the braks were horrible and carburator had issues. Was a bit longer than expected as the shop discovered some more things i didnt see when buying. But yesterday ... finaly on the road
Had a real good day with two friends (a buick skylark and torino) driving around the area. And then, we just seperated and drove for home ... engine dead.
My mechanic told me the carburator might go a bit too hotand give me headaches then. So i wasn't to annoyed. Waited and started, nothing, only the starter working it's ass off. Waiting again, starting ... by now the battery decided to break down. My mechanic luckily wasnt far away and started to jump-start. Nope, battery is not low, it's broken. A now one was in his trunk by luck so we took this one. Still no starting engine.
My friends from earler showed up with some startpilot (dont know the english word. The spray to help starting a stalled engine). Still nothing ...
By then tow service was the only option left. Everything was planned. My first day turning out to be my last again ... then someone noticed a small loose wire dangling behind the ignition coil. Plugged in, started on first try even with completely soaked engine.
Well, might not sound like much of a story, but thought it fun that such a small and easy problem can have such consequences
PS: Got time for a shooting a moment later
Any similar stories to share?
