# reminds me of the mechanic who charged my nan for
a full service and replacing the clutch on her car.



its an automatic.

when we quizzed him , he blamed the 'new boy' and said he would refund her... he closed the next day.

# Haha, silly boy!
I broke down once almost immediately after getting my new car, the auto Mini, and two guys offered to push my car off the road for me into a carpark.
They kept telling me to 'dip the clutch' and each time I had to warble 'I don't have a clutch' much to their puzzlement and amusement.
Edit: Bloody hell, I sure type a lot, don't I?

# I did offer them cash, and chocolate.
And chocolate cash. But they refused it all. They were sweet guys though.

# You know I do.
Oh, this reminds me.
I broke up with my boyfriend in London, so coming down will be more of a pain than usual. Plus the 4%+ rise in train fares *grumble*. And my refusal to drive to London ever again.

# another eejit mate of mine was to tow his brothers automatic granada
to the garage for some work, and forgot you have to disconnect the driveshaft if towing a long distance.... whoops....

I love automatics though, I won't ever buy another manual car..

# It's the lazy person's perfect car.
I had a manual Mini for a year, before it got nicked.
Then I had the choice of another manual generic fartbox or an auto Mini.
I tried to drive my parents cars over the holiday , and it took some getting used to.
Then again, Volvos are heavier than Minis. And Probes are more responsive.
