Car broke down on the field so had to get towed out then wait 2 hours for the RAC then they spent like 2 hours trying to fix it, got it going for like 5 miles and it broke again so had to wait another 2 hours for a recovery which was the scaryest drive home ever he was some old guy (im sure he had been drinking) and doing 90 at 1 point with my car on the back

its why i bring my own recovery device as i never trust mine to make it the whole day. although it survived alright on sunday for a change.
atleast you got home in the end. recovery services sometimes can take forever but i guess there are only a small number of them covering a large area up that way.

Yeh it was! I've never been so scared in my life, we almost went to Edinburgh, nearly crashed into the back of a lorry and we were doing 90mph coming into Inverness with a pissed driver and a car on the back
Hope i never have to go in one of their wagons again, i'd rather walk.
Crail was quite good though
