Not really no! Both exampes of what happens when a small change in luck, with you or against you, makes a big difference to the outcome!
Car stuck on trailer under tarpaulin until I get a new ramp to unload it - luck really wasn't with us, was it?
many thanks to John & Carol for being prepared to let us cannibalise his car for the radiator -true rallying spirit! I would have loved the challenge of getting the car back on the start ramp in the morning - If we'd had a radiator, there was a definite chance we could have done it.
