I needed a spec lift, trailer or beavertail after killing two wheels and tyres (and only having one space-saver spare) on Princes Street in Edinburgh.

It took the wankers over 4.5 hours to appear even knowing there were kids in the car, and they never once called with an update, leaving me to wonder if/when they would turn up.

Still, the kids got to see their first willie when some pissed up student thought he'd have a slash against the parked car, not knowing we were sat in it. Nice long blast of the horn brought him to his senses though!
