Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Just take it gentle.
Me today's gripe is I've pulled a shoulder muscle, making driving difficult, as turning my head at junctions is bloomin painful.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My Garmin falling off at 30mph. It's survived and works but a bit scuffed. I had to wave at a car to stop him running over it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Driving the Impreza to Diss yesterday. Suddenly the steering got really heavy and I'm 5 miles from home. After shopping I drive the 10 miles home heaving at the wheel every time I need to turn. Broken auxiliary drive belt found under the bonnet. Certainly built up my muscles driving it without power steering.
However, I don't think it's too bad. It's a 98 model and I've had it from new. The belt has lasted for 18 years so I can't really complain. Subaru engineering.
