How nice am I?
Sitting on Wolverhampton ring road 5pm rush hour playing spot the ZT/75 I noticed some old fellow behind me in a Rover 25. Nice looking car. All of a sudden there's the biggest cloud of white smoke bellowing out from under his bonnet. He tried to get out but no one would let him open his door as they squeezed past him. I thought he was on fire and so did he judging by the look on his face. I stuck my hazards on and went to help him. When I got there it was obvious it was steam, yes you've guessed it, oil and water everywhere. Head gasket I would assume. I pushed him to the lay by about 30 yards away and still no one else could be bothered to help even though he was in his 70's. He said he only had the head gasket done last week and they changed his water pump,belts and various other bits. We rang his son who came to tow him home. Well that's my good deed for the day, at least I got him off the ring road and out of harms way. Lets hope the Patron saint of CDTi's is smiling down on me now

A sad reflection on life today really, where everybody is so engrossed in their own lives that they cannot even let the guy get out of his car in case it holds them up for five minutes.
Well done you though
