Yes, it's finally happened. I killed my car.
No, I didn't crash the thing. At the moment it's parked in the driveway, unable to idle, and with no throttle response.
I always wanted to spend my Saturday tearing apart the carby trying to find the problem with my car which left me stranded on a motorway at 9PM at night. Hence, I have adopted the name 'APOLLO KILLER' until such time as I fix it, when I shall become 'APOLLO HEALER'. |

Not to worry...I've killed several cars and brought them back from the dead.
Of course, most died a very agonizing permanent death sometime later... |
