Default Oh Bollox Car's broke down :-(

gear selector has come off gearbox end

wondered what that ping noise was as i was driving down the A127

big thanks to quizz and co for stopping... life savers

also big thanks to the recovery firm C&B cars (via greenflag) best recovery ive ever gone thru, driver turned up on time with the proper tools, got things done in time and delivered perectly home

now i just gotta get lennie to fix it tomorrow

any ideas how easy it'll be?

Crap so that was you sorry Jim

Me & Nikki went flying past you on the way to Mcd's & she said to me that's not Jims car is it, said to her nah it was probably the other red cossie that was at the meet

We would of stopped to help but your's and the other red cossie do look very similar next time we see an rs etc stopped at the side of the road we will go past a bit slower to see if we recognise them or not pmsl
