A very nice man
As the old advert for the AA used to say. Thought I'd share this wee story that happened today.
My 75 wouldn't start so called the AA out. Got chatting and the man told me that a few years back he'd won a competition with a well known hire car company for a free two day hire. He decided to use it traveling from Edinburgh to Newcastle airport for one of the days and the other day to drive back giving him his two free days with a holiday abroad in between. On the way down he had a Rover 75. What a car he said. So smooth, comfortable and fast. He's eyes lit up at the memory of this trip. On the way back he was given an Mercedes E class. Take it or leave it he said. As far as he was concerned the 75 was a better car on every level. Like I said a very nice man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Your chat was a lot more pleasant than the AA guy I got out some four years ago, he hated these cars, said they had been thrown together with a mish-mash of any old parts
And he could not fix/start my car, I did it myself the following morning. I brushed off what he said Ken. |

I went off the AA a few years ago after having to give the guy one of my spare fuses for his recovery truck!
