Talk about rotten Luck,,Or maybe good luck.....I was about  to head North Via  the Newell H/way too do a Bowls Crawl  (Like a Pub Crawl)  as far as Possible in two Months.......Then bang  Power steering belt snapped...Now have too wait a few days to get pulley Bearing and Belt.....Suppose it could have happened on the road....Instead of just down my street to buy stocks

I would say you are VERY lucky Jimbo.  The consequences out on the open road, not to mention in any isolated spots you may have been in, could have been a lot worse.

Hope you get it fixed poste haste so that you can be on your way.

 I agree...breakdowns are always much better at or near to home.

DEFINITELY better to break down near home than somewhere remote. I'd consider that to be very good luck! I'm sure that kandangal would agree after their more recent escapades into motor vehicle repairs away from home!! Haha
