Cleaned my gearbox and re-bound some electrical looms, whilst the engine is out.

Broke down



On the M1




No hard shoulder as in road works, so stranded in slow lane.



Scary 20 mins, before we got recovered.

Bet you were popular! :lol:

Always wondered what that scenario must be like. I would imagine 'scary' only begins to describe it!

One way to attract the attention of 30 butch men in shorts, I guess. Seems a little extreme even for you! :lol:

Wasn't going, was on the way to Disney. Car started playing up on the motorway so came off just happened to be at a junction with 1000s of England Rugby fans! Rather bad timing!
