Well at least things can't get any worse than yesterday I thought as I drove to work.

Pulling off the M40, as I dropped down a gear to overtake a lorry the gearstick came off in my hand.
Not just the gearknobb, but the entire gearstick. Looking at the hole in floor I could see the gear linkage and under that the road.

It's events like that which really get the heart pumping in the morning.
