and i'd thought i'd seen it all!(sorta long)

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (The Hitman)]

my friend calls me up tonight and said that when he went to start his rocco 
(which has been hibernating for the last couple of months) that it fired up 
then made this horrible metal hitting metal sound then died. i told him to 
check to see if the timing belt broke and to call me back. when he called me 
back he said he couldn't get the timing belt cover off, but it looked like 
the car was bleeding from the belt cover. when i asked him what he meant by 
bleeding he said there was a small amount of red liquid coming from the side 
and bottom of the timing belt cover. not being able to think what red liquid 
could be coming from this area, i left work to check it out. turns out a 
family of what appears to have been mice had somehow gotten under his timing 
cover and made a nest. when he started his rocco, mice and nest got spun 
around and ended up jamming the timing belt (and making quite a mess) in the 
lower half of the cover! good news is he got rid of his little mice problem, 
bad news is that it will probably have turned out to be an expensive way to 
kill a family of rodents!
