Default £275+VAT Fawngrove want to trailer my car to EA!!!

Just got a call from Paul at Engine Advantages to say my engine is finished!!

So I need to get my car up there for hm to fit it...I know AndyEsCos does trailering so I rung him, but no answer so I left a message. So I thought I would ring one of the big recovery companies to see how much they want.

£275 +VAT They're having a fucking laugh ain't they!!!!!

Has anyone got a number for Billy Cabrio coz I know he does it?

Cheers
Darrone

RAC towed me 8 miles down a dual carriageway in rush hour when the flexi pipe on my brakes snapped on my 2k the c**t hit 60 mph at one point now that was definately a brown pant moment

fook that, when i bell em i say bring the flat bed as the cars lowered, they did once tow me on a beaver tail and fook the rear bumper

oh and jimbo is better than the AA, when my car cut out he told me to try the inertia switch in the boot, the guy in the AA said the fuel pump is fooked, it aint priming

can ya manage the embarresment if ypu was the mobile mechanic and jim phoned the brokendown idiot in a hairdressers car and he spotted the problem over the phone
