Absolutely no excuse at all, indeed. I performed several Hail Mary's and a number of 19th century Royal Naval punishment exercises including being keel-hauled under a local trawler. I then proceeded to hand myself in at the local police station where I served 35 years imprisonment, before parole. My story was later dramatised into a major film 'The Shawshank Redemption' Sadly all the scenes where I mention OOF were cut by the Director, who shall receive no more Christmas cards..
Tyres- The rear tyres failed because they didn't match. (two unused omega spares, turns out one was a 195, one a 205)
Numberplate lamp - was working when I left the driveway, but wasn't when I arrived. Oh, it was working when I got home, too.
As for the 'self inflicted' misfire, sorry but not so. I wasn't the one who butchered the loom, fitted a vectra square-plugged coilpack and plug, but did it with chocolate box connectors, which failed. I'd been tracing that misfire/rough idle for months, as most OOFers know, and had apparently sorted it. Clearly what was a wire that was partially and intermittently making a connection had, on the way there, come loose completely. Not stale fuel.
The scene were I took my Omega for MoT was cut from the film, too, and replaced with a homosexual rape scene instead.
