Kombi Update!

Naiuwi ko na siya sa Cavite! Woohoo! Tagaktak ang pawis ko sa pagda-drive sa Expressway. Whew!

Noong sabado ng hapon, between 5 and 6pm, i backed out of the VW garage near Marikina Riverbanks. We, myself and my brother and sister, drove in convoy thru the riverbanks complex thru to C5 via the Industrial Valley-Libis-Eastwood route. My top speed on the Kombi thru this route was around 70 to 80kph which was not bad at all. New front shocks, steering post, brake fluids, a newly tuned-up engine, and a healthy topping of engine oil are to be credited for this fleeting performance. Why "fleeting," you ask? Well, read on. We turn out from C5 to the South Luzon Exressway(SLEX) and are welcomed by glorious, early saturday evening traffic, the kind your driver always told you about but never believed. We pushed head on, as if we had any other choice. 8pm came and went, and we were still on the SLEX. A third and a quarter past Sucat, heading towards Alabang. Filinvest exit, and then sneaking off behind the ATC towards Daang Hari. No hang-ups so far. Molino Road greets our determined convoy with fresh Cavite air. A few more minutes and we drive thru our subdivision gates. Home at last! Sinigang na hipon with ice cold Coke 1.5! Tsalap!

Sunday morning.

Wife(1) and kids(2 boys and a baby girl) in tow. Pink Sisters in Tagaytay. Jollibee brunch. Left at the Tagaytay Rotonda, then down a bit to the santa Rosa turn-off. Drizzling but everything's just right as rain. A bit hazy so i turn on the hazzard lights(they're actually the Kombi's park lights but hey). We reach the Santa Rosa tollgate and drive on thru to the Balibago complex. We're heading towards Cabuyao to visit my in-laws. We get there safel and sound. Generally, a pleasant drive. Now, do you remember "fleeting"?

We decide to head back home to Cavite around 4pm. I decide to take the SLEX, turn-off at Carmona and head towards the Molino-Paliparan road that connects Laguna to Cavite. I proudly navigate thru the zigzag that snakes its way up the Carmona road. Two bridges after the zigzag, it happens. My clutch starts to slide. We have another half hour of travel until we reach home. First gear, then second. My stickshift isn't as sticky as its name implies... Stuck in third gear until we reach our turn-off to Molino-Paliparan road. Fourth gear. Stuck again.

We're home by 7pm. We made it out of sheer luck. Driving home in third gear isn't fun at all.

My mechanic is scheduled to look at the Kombi's shot transmission on Saturday.

Abangan.....
