An excruciating new chapter in the Book of Boris (no relation to The Book of Mormon)

Is this the End?

Driving to a client office today all hell broke loose on the dashboard… every warning light blinking, alarms sounding, star-trek doors whooshing open and closed and phasers set to KILL! Engine computer was reporting suspension failure, HDC failure, brake failures, everything failure…

after swearing loudly, I managed to quickly pull into a Shell Station which was conveniently only a hundred yards down the road.

Is Boris Dead?

Boris quietly pulled up to a pump.. before spluttering and dying.

Insert Key and absolutely nothing happens.

Pop open bonnet (which is a hood to you Americans) and only a faint whiff of electrical burning smell. gulp

I’m typing this after it was towed off to a local garage for investigation.

sigh

If I had started numbering my vehicle breakdowns over the last two years, I wonder if this one would have put me into treble digits?
