Can you believe it my alarm clock, aka the wee canine, failed to go off in time this morning. :rolleyes: Yesterday he was up and out before five but today he decided that 7.15 was more reasonable so it was a real mad dash to get the car into the dealer - it's a 90 mins journey so 'they' had to do without their walk so as I could catch up some time - in the end I was only 20mins late. I have been loaned some little Merc and 'they' are not 'appy about that 'cos only one of them can sit up straight whilst the other reclines in comfort. Might get my chariot back this evening but then it might be tomorrow. :(
I hope your day starts better than mine.:)

It could be the best 'cure' you've got. Way back in 'istory when my back troubles started I had to agonisingly get into my Renault 16 hatchback but when I finally did get myself in by relying on the help from various handles etc. to get on the seat, I relaxed into the comfy seat - a HUGE MISTAKE - and the pain was best described as excruciating, BUT it did the trick and whichever bit of the back that had got misaligned clicked back in.:)

I enjoyed my Renault 16 Hatchback - it was much more comfy than many cars on the market in those days. Mine carted me and a couple of friends and all our camping gear around Europe - east and west several times - without missing a beat. I can't remember the year but it was an 'L' reg, it had been built to fulfill the regs. for export to Australia but the owner cancelled those plans and just coughed up the UK taxes and then sold it - to me.

As I recall, it was a column change car and very comfy. The rear wheels were off-set with a torsion-bar and it made the ride over rough roads very smooth. :)

The morning of my wedding to my ex, in France, I had the King Kong of a hangover.
Her uncle was taking me, then us, to the wedding in his white Renault 16, this was in 1981.
So I washed it, twice, to exorcise the hangover.
It more or less worked!
It was then dressed up in pink ribbon.

Our Parisian friends with their place in our village swears blind his was one of the best cars he has ever owned, and he has driven Mercs for ages, since. :):):)

Nothing will click yet, the muscles will all be in spasm to protect the site. Your Chiro might be able to click it, but it may well take a lot of effort and/or a bit of massage first.
At least that is how it goes with me.:(:(:(
The really gorgeous Norwegian girl at the college did a very good job but was never quite strong enough to be able to click mine like her boyfriend did the one day she was off. (Oooh, matron!)
