I took daughter No1 for a hospital appointment today.

As OH has my car, I had to drive hers. The appointment was eye exam and involved drops, so she couldn't drive herself.

As I started up the car, the radio was so loud that I had to turn it down... and immediately heard a loud rackety noise coming from the rear of her car.
(I'm no mechanic but I think it's the exhaust?)

I asked her how long the noise had been there.
Her exact response:
."Don't really know, but if you turn the music up loud enough you can't hear it
# ProblemSolved"
.

I always have the music on in the car because I listen to the engine all the time and I really am some kind of mechanical hypochondriac.

Putting my running shoes on as I say to GlasgowLass - a great example of female logic :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
