Straight away iirc. Mates have joined when broken down on motorway

Jim Galbally · 30-06-2009, 10:04 PM

dont you get charged if you do it like that tho?

matts1 · 30-06-2009, 10:04 PM

24 hrs I got told mate. But that was RAC, mate had just had the car inspected by them for 300 quid and they said it was fine, didn't even get home lol!

After he screamed "you told me it was ok and it aint made it home, I want my 300 quid back" they said "will be out shortly sir"

cossie4i_ · 30-06-2009, 10:05 PM

Im sure you have to wait at least 24hrs Jim, it might even be 48hrs.

WTF

Whats the fucking use of that

matts1 · 30-06-2009, 10:15 PM

just call them up every 10 miles lol!

It may well be 48 hours mate.

call the main number and enquire but without giving your details

DanRSturbo · 30-06-2009, 10:15 PM

Depends on what reputation you have with them Jim, I have been a long standing AA member since before I bought my RS Turbo because my 3i was a constant breakdown. They even rung me last year and asked if I still had m RS Turbo as they hadn't heard from me for a while

Jim Galbally · 30-06-2009, 10:16 PM

TIFF, i stopped renewing my AA membership when i bought an M3

just forgot to start it back up when i bought an MR2

whilst on the phone to them the guy said "we can recover you to a garage of your choice within 10 miles"

mate, i'm in fucking BRIGHTON and it's 3am on a sunday WTF use is that

PhilM · 30-06-2009, 10:22 PM

.

MadMac · 30-06-2009, 10:24 PM

Yeah you can call the AA out imediately after joining, just expect to pay three times the premium for the privilage

Csm · 30-06-2009, 10:38 PM

Elvis · 30-06-2009, 11:38 PM

i broke down at my folks before, joined, waited 24 hours, then come home on the tow truck

Jim Galbally · 01-07-2009, 10:43 AM

thanks doug but its in brighton and it won't be towed as the driveshaft's hanging out the gearbox... lol

CossieRich · 01-07-2009, 11:04 AM

Jim,

Time to rid yourself of that MR2 mate

Chip · 01-07-2009, 11:10 AM

brad · 01-07-2009, 11:12 AM

If your desperate to get it home before some brighton bum boy takes a shining to your tailpipe i have a friend fairly local that can recover it for you . although i doubt even the most deprived homo would want to hump an mr2 .

CossieRich · 01-07-2009, 11:13 AM

Chip · 01-07-2009, 11:14 AM

So, lets get this straight, with a few facts:

Jim has an MR2
Jim was in brighton
Jim doesnt ever seem to have a girlfriend

hmmmm
