It's so exciting when you have one of those moments when you're thinking that you're not going to make it.
LOL, I am not sure I had that moment. I was so stressed it was actually bringing on a migraine...and yes I do get migraines from stress.

Seeing that Texaco sign reminded me of a day several years back when I had three kids in the back of the car complaining they were hungry and we could not find anywhere to eat when suddenly we saw the yellow 'M' sign of a Macdonalds!

Check all the fixings behind the bumper when you get a chance. It might look OK on the outside but you don't want it letting go when you approach (ahem) the legal limit. Mate of mine was rear ended in a Mustang; looked OK on the outside but actually bust a couple of the fixings.
Will do mate. The body shop I use is the next road down from work so I will get them to have a look. Thanks for the advice.

Haha when I've being in China for a few days before and getting tired of eating chickens feet and drinking snake blood, seeing that yellow M sign is like seeing a halo in the distance. In the UK I never want it, but when in China that M can sometimes be your saviour. :D

At least it allows your rear 24h of peace to recover from the effect of china's fine cuisine

Its Macdonalds in France. Some sort of 1980s legal case forced them to change it

Funny as I have had the exact same experience in China on numerous occasions. I go HK and mainland every 2/3 years visiting Printers and having meetings etc. Have you ever had the 1,000 year old egg?

Same when mine was hit, looked ok but it stress fractured the plastic so once it had been removed and refitted it wouldn't go back on properly.

They tried to convince me to try it and stinky tofu, the smells and looks were enough for me so I wimped out.

I actually love Asian food, though Taiwanese which is not quite like China but man the food is freaking lovely when there not trying to feed you 1000 year old egg or some speciality food like chickens feet, lol. :)
