Does it always happen in threes?

Hi, all, had a call on Fri, from the AA saying they were recovering an XM with a massive LHM leak in the middle and would we be able to help out.
Car came in late so put off looking at it until Sat. Quick look saw the pipe from the pump to the flow valve leaking, easy you`d think unfortunately the car was a beautiful red K plate SED auto with aircon. Anyway after a few hours struggling, not only taking the damaged pipe off but also having to remove the replacement from another TD auto with aircon the car was back mobile and was off on its way.
Today checking our emails I find one from a customer with a C6 which has just developed a massive coolant leak and may need recovering and sorting.
I`m just wondering whether tomorrow I`d be better off leaving the phone off the hook and computer switched off just in case they do come along in threes? ;)

Why that's sounds like a certain Ragger we know on here.

I read Robs account on the CCC forum last night. Well done fixing it so quickly.
I won't start mine up then tomorrow....just incase!! :lol:

My problems have come in eight so far in ten weeks, none of them as minor as car related. If they come in three's, I've got another to come yet...

I tried that. Things went from bad to worse.
