Default Cursed :(

This could only happen to me

Seriously, at the times when everything is cool and going well, everything is fine but when I am in a position to do nothing about anything, it all hits the fan.

It happened with the MR2 blowout incident, it happened with the 325 getting nicked and now its struck again....

... Last night on the way home I am pretty sure the timing chain snapped. Thinking back, I am now fairly sure I heard the valves clattering the pistons, which isn't going to have done them or the pistons much good.

No idea what to do now
