Murphy's Law - Court in session.

First let me get this off my chest. I breached an old rule and paid for it as usual.
It all started when Piers Harry generously agreed to loan us his trailer to take the power train to the chassis. Well it is a brand new unit, like never used! Mike his trusty mechanic warned us not to scratch it. Well caution was the kiss of death, with the engine transmission and differential installed in the powertrain frame, the team moved ever so carefully to load it on the trailer with the sling and fork lift. As the forklift moved slowly forward on the gravel driveway, one small hesitation in motion caused the powertrain to swing forward, unloaded the sling and it came off the forks.
Well it was horrible the load hit the edge of the NEW trailer and put a dent in the fender. It would be a small dent if it was an old trailer but when it is new it is huge, when it is borrowed even worse.
With our deepest SORRY to Piers.
