Car Went Boom!

Lavindathar · 11-22-2003, 07:11 PM

Ok, so not exactly. On the way back from the cinema with my lass, my alternator died. First my CD player went, then my interior lights, finally followed by my exterior lights. I had to drive home in pitch black with no lights, and when the street lamps died I had to knock on a rich guys house and ask if he could lead me home so i could see, bear in mind this is a total stranger, and he pulled out his DB7 and drove me home.

But I have to be in Newcastle (300miles away) by Monday for a lecture, but I cant get the part 2morrow as scrap yards are shut, so I might be stuck.

Sniff sniff.

a stranger goes out at night in his DB7. a very trusting soul, or you must have a innocent face. [img]graemlins/angelwings.gif[/img]

Sorry about the car but an alternator should not be too hard to find even on a sunday in the senic lancashire countryside. What car do you have?

I live in a very posh area with lots of trusting rich folk, lol.

Nah, all scrapyards are shut...very easy to fix but getting the part is hard!

And I've got an XR2i...hehehe NEEEEOM!

A DB7 is a very space limited 2+2. Where did the lass go??
