they didn't know what engine was in it till they got there just wanted to know what car it was. He asked what engine i had in it and when he saw it was impressed and thats when he started talking to me about the stuff he raced.

You should have phoned the AA and joined right there and then for £100 or so whatever it costs.

i'm with Britannia, £18 a year, and what ever the trouble they will fix on the spot if they can, tow you to a the nearest garage that can help, or home/local home garage. never needed to test it but nice to know!
CorsAsh and me saw you line up, we were too far down the strip though to know what happened....unlucky mate, hope its isn't long until your on the road again!

Our truck had a clutch release bearing failure somewhere near Liverpool. I can't remember who does the truck cover, but they towed it all the way back down to where I live Took something like 7 hours.....
