Unhappy Clutch. Uff.

The clutch has all but gone on my Zed, got stuck on a stop-start slope driving into a multi story, stinkin clutch smell, smoke, nursed it home but it's definately FUBAR'd. Thankfully I can get it done by a mate on Monday. I hate it when the MG's not 100%. 77,000 miles, but then I don't know how it was driven before I had it and my wife quite likes pulling away in 2nd and 3rd, all of which doesn't help, so a subtle word was had!

Poorly car.

I'm not putting my unborn baby on a bike or in a Jimny. It's travelling in style, albeit without a clutch...
