Did you notice any knocking or unusual noises just before it happened?

What the hell were you thinking I think I know what the problem is though.... Groom off to his wedding.... Goldie senses the impending doom and does all it can to prevent the groom from arriving at all. Cars, they have a sixth sense. The other reason could be that you wrote on Wed that Goldie was still going strong http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...topic=24673&hl= and you forgot to touch wood afterwards.
