A Spooky tale.

Good morning all got something tell you all which happened last year, might not believe me but swear to god it happened and still on this day don't know what happened.

You ready here we go.

Last year I was talking to someone for a while which some of you know I was seeing Cheryl in Kirkcaldy Scotland, no longer dating, but still keep in touch as mates.

I arranged to go and see her in Scotland and planned to set off at Friday 12pm and would arrive between 19:30-20:00 24 hour time.
So I set off and the journey was going well, Till I was on the outskirts of Chester it started jolting forward and back and wasn't running 100%.
I gave it a bit longer to see if could improve and no it didn't so I pulled over near a layby had a quick a look under the bonnet, took the mas sensor off and gave it a quick blast with carb cleaner, put it back together and off I went again, still carried on jolting, pulled over again and phoned Chery letting her know that I might not be able to make it, she said it was fine and we can arrange it other time, we were both disappointed, so I start to turn back home and I noticed it ran a lot better it was going ok, so I went on the round about went to towards Chester again pulled over and phoned Cheryl to let her know that its running sweat as nut and I'll be on my way.

about half an hour later, guess what happened?
She conked out and had to pull over, being annoyed I decided not to chance it incase it was something major, so I phoned Cheryl again to let her know and she said don't chance it and drive it back home if you can just incase, so that's what I did after going off the phone I tried to start her up and she fired first time like it was nothing too it.

I'm confused at this point, what the hell is wrong with her.
So I drive it back home safe and sound.

Can't remember if it was on the same night or the next night I can't remember, but she phoned me to say its good thing you didn't come up, and I ask why?

there was a major crash near Kirkcaldy not far from Park road which happened between the hours of 19:30-20:00 the same time frame I would have arrived to park road.

This is why I call my car Christine Mk2 like that film in the 80's by John Carpenter.

The next I drove to a few places and it ran like a dream, just that day she would not go to Scotland, as if telling me don't go today sort of thing, it only ever happened once.
