Not only - but also...

This was the trip home from collecting this car.

The car came to rest exactly as you see it - flat battery, no charging - small stream flowing under the car - steady rain.

House we stopped outside was the only house which had a light showing.

Occupant turned out to be a friend of Sue's.!

He had a battery charger..!!

Can't argue with stuff like that.

Photo was me repairing the fanbelt.

For anyone interested ( anyone??? )

My TC averaged just over 33mpg over the 915 miles driven these four days. Not bad considering it was fully laden. :D

And not taking into account the petrol Kev 'borrowed'! :roll:
