Thought I would do two things Today (sorry yesterday) Pick up the alloys I won on ebay & visit a good friend who was recently very unwell. Willie was in his element as usual hogging the outside lane and just merrily flying allong when all of a sudden 24 miles from my mates in Netherton Yorkshire and in the outside lane of a very busy motorway.........Nothing! the engine dies a complete death and very quickly starts to slow with many a vehicle bearing down on willie I thought i best get him out of there pronto, so Hazzards on clutch in and a very hefty swere through the briefest gap in three lanes of traffic managed to get to the hard shoulder & onto the grass bank :worship: 
Phew!
Oil was fine, water was fine, cambelt was fine a bit more prodding with the ign system appears to have complete electronic failure there is a spark but it's very weak and not very well directed. Any how Willie was rescued to a safe haven where he remains till tomorrow hopefully.
So with the use of a Jeep cherokee I'm off to get the alloys, and a propshaft for my BM. The alloys are sparkling and I think they will fit but won't know tomorrow but if they do they are very
Finally get's back to my mates at about 7pm have a little dinner a bit of chat then he tells me just to take the Jeep & bring it back when ever to sort Willie. I decide then to head home.........
Get's near the A66 at scotch corner and there seems to be plenty of fuel, a couple of miles into the A66 the light comes on, well it's not that far to the next garage thinks me.........WRONG! Breakdown No2 and he'll probably kill me when he reads this or have another heart attack The nearest garage showing at temple sowerby is only .75 miles away according to TomTom so lock the car with the dogs still on board as I couldn't take them with me (No leads :bang: ) and walk to the garage.....of course it's bleeding closed :bang: :bang: walk back to the car and eventually get hold of a very generous Policeman who has nearby a gallon of gold it's now 1am anyway filled the tank with a few drips according to the Jeep that still shows no miles to go and manage to crawl to the next filling station thats open
So Willie is missing in action till further notice, two breakdowns and the longest day ever I think i'll lock myself in the house today.
