Subject:How to lose your roof
From:Mike Jeffrey

Remember, when playing with the luggage rack on your Westy, to put ALL
of the screws/nuts back before driving anywhere... I'm sure you can
see where this is going!

Had the tow truck come and pick up my uncooperative van yesterday, and
followed about 10 minutes later to meet up at the garage. Wife and I
happy on the drive, thinking, "finally, this bus is going to get
running, things are looking up!" Caught up to the tow truck at the
freeway exit - where's the roof?!!! The luggage rack was nowhere to be
found, the driver has no idea where it came off. I guess the van
wanted to piss me off one more time! (my own fault, though - in my
rush to move house in one day, I forgot to put all of the bolts and
screws back into the luggage rack)

So, if anyone in San Francisco finds a luggage rack hanging around by
the side of the street, let me know!

:) hahahaha!
