not looking good :( anyone else not going to make it?

well after rushing about to try and get everything sorted, fixed, topped up, camping stuff packed in to the boot, fancy dress outfit finished, car cleaned, waxed  and polished, i took it for a test drive and it nearly caught fire! it was only a short drive so i cant see it making it to the agm :( im gutted!
so many thing have been going wrong recently. supercharger broke, borrowed a new one (so cool of Toby to lend it to me considering we have never even met in person!) got the oil changed and most of it leaked out. petrol squirting out of the end of the fuel rail! now the borrowed charger's oil seals are going and have oils has been blasting into the nice clean engine bay and also dripping onto the manifold. will it be ok? i don't want to risk it but i really want to go!

is any one else having problems that means they cant go?

The santana ran out of tax at the end of last month and I can afford to re tax it because of the supercharger going wrong with no warranty. Thanks g werks.
If I tax the santana, I may not have the golf ready for the Germany trip. Plus I am buying another car now. A 1985 b2 passat cl estate :D 2 winter projects.
Hmm. Tough choice to be made. I need to see jellybelly about the raincoat too. Perfect summer for a rain coat lol
