Default Big up the AA (no seriously)

Split a brake pipe on my car today. Car filled with smoke as it was dripping onto the exhaust. Got to work thinking it was foggy

Phoned the AA at 10 past 8 and it was on a flat bed on its way to LPS by 20 to 9. AA bloke was a top chap as well.

Posted this as they had a shitty post the other day and I thought if they done a good job, they should get a bit of praise

lucky escape there mate, they reckon brake fluid is one of the most flammable things in a car. would be a shame to see one less mk2 in the world.

I have had 2 shitty letters in the last 2 years saying if I called them out again they would charge me the recovery costs. Cost me 169 quid this year for roadside relay which is the recovery service.

Out of 4 cars between me and the missus, the only one on the road is the shitbox of a sierra with over 400k on the clock
