"Dad. Help. I've broken down on the A41 and there's a massive que of angry motorists behind me"
Me?
I'm 25 miles away half way through fixing a scruffy owld N reg BMW 520. 
"hang on angel, I'll just fire the jet propelled time warp 'elicopter up". 
It's what we are here for. 
Hope it all worked out OK.
Indeed.
After 90 minutes I arrived.
Diagnosed temp. but terminal goosedness.
She went the ale 'ouse.
I sat in the car in a car park for 2 hours waiting for the AA.
Did she bring you out a coke n packet of crisps......... 
No.
AA was very good and almost delighted to be wekin' on an 'old timer' again, and quickly diagnosed a dodgy dissy cap or leads.
Most odd, as both are fairly new.
Plugs 2 & 4 ...no spark.
Obviously he wasn't carrying such spares, so had to be 6 'rope towed home which was most 'entertaining'.
Fortunately, the previous owner had placed all old parts in a box, so have just put what looks like the original dissy and leads
back on, and it werks again!!
Meanwhile, young G jnr had to drive me back to retrieve my car from Chester Zoo car park, which the Mini Moose has assured me is NEVER EVER locked.
It WAS!!
