Default Double Whammy!

I was scheduled to run the Texas-Mile this weekend and was really looking forward to it. I woke up yesterday morning with a slight fever…no big thing except that I awoke this morning with all the signs of the flu…so much for the race!

Then I moved the jag into another spot in my garage and parked it with a big sigh. Several hours later I noticed that there was coolant all over the floor. I’m 99% certain it is a valley hose failure. So, bad news that I need to fix this, good news that I wasn’t several hundred miles from home when it failed.

Life goes on!

Tough luck on the double trouble. Hope you and car are mended soon.

I'd count that as a blessing, that valley outlet pipe will go at some point for sure,
and for it to break while its in your garage is the most ideal situation you could ask for.
