Pulled over to help

[XA Coupsta]

Just last week I was walking home from the bus stop - lady on the side of the road *trying* (not very well) to change her tyre. I got in and changed it for her - let her use my mobile phone to ring her hubby who was on the way out to help her (cant believe she wasnt in RACQ).
She tried to pay me $20 too!

I dont pick up hitch hikers, however Im very glad someone did that for me one day or I was screwed.

Had the XA on a club run up to some Dam at the gold coast hinterland. It had been playing up a bit - id replaced the points and plugs and leads and thought it was all fine.
Got up there ok - still had a miss somewhere.

On the way home I made sure I was at the back of the pack - and it sh!t itself totally. Undriveable. (and to this day no-one in the club knew I'd broken down)

Im on the side of this middle of nowhere remote road - not many cars coming by - no mobile phone coverage either to ring anyone. I locked the car up and started walking.

This very friendly local knew the strife I was in - picked me up - drove me to where there was mobile coverage - I rang RACQ and he dropped me back to the car. Awesome job.

And if that wasnt enough, he came back about an hour later (man RACQ took like 2 hours to get to me) - with some cold drinks and a chat to keep me company!!!!!!

Edit - oh yeh the problem wih the car was the capacitor on the side of the Dissy. Mallory twin point. Car got too hot after driving up there - by the time I was coming home it had totally shat. Thats like 2 or 3 capacitors I've gone through now too. Weird?
