had a call for a recovery, oldish couple at the hospital car wont start. so off i trot recover them home, get to there house massive bloody hill. have to stop and unload just up from there house, remove straps drop spec a tad, put handbreak on car, drop spec down to ground and off rolls the car, down a main hill, good 60 yards up curb and straight into a wall

it rolled off slowely i ran to rear tried to stop it for 20 yards or so then gave up, would of been a ultimate movie for tv viewing lol

how fookin embarissed and gutted am i, all the years ive been doing it this is a first, yes i know should of put it in gear, i couldnt of wished for a nice couple, very understanding, helpfull and felt sorry for me.

im sooooooo lucky the car didnt hit another car or even worse a person, the road bent and it went up curb hit rear corner on wall and span around to a stop, proper write off.


i couldnt quite believe it but they wanted to still pay me the recovery fee !!! which i declined

luckily he slipped in was trying to sell the car and garage offered him 500 in px for it. i gave them all insurance details etc then went home, had a think using me head and called them up and offered them the choice of 500 cash or they can go through insurance they accepted

spose in one way they have had car sold and not had the bill of repairing the non start fault so there happy but jesus christ it could of been so much worse, im 500 quid light and the proud owner of a wrote of 1999 saab 9-3


atleast i can scrap it and get somin back or try ebay some parts


one very embarised and feeling sorry for himself, me
