RANDOM REMINDER
MULTUM IN PARVO
This is a very short story. And rather a sad one. He bought a new car. Which had been assembled in the North Island. Before leaving the factory, it was checked out. All the checking items
were ticked. At 1000 miles, it was checked again. Everything was ticked. The same thing happened at 2000 miles. All ticks. He drove it until it had gone almost 3000' miles. He arranged for a 3000mile check.
The day before he was to take it in, the gear box blew up. There was no oil in it. Nor, he was able to prove, had there ever been. Which just goes to show Something.
