Car Crash #2

Good Afternoon

So, Friday evening I am heading to a pub in Aylesbury. Sun setting, roof down, tunes up and driving with the wind through my hair. I approach a small country lane (a known shortcut to the said town). I'm driving along when all of a sudden there was a massive thud and very loud bang and then before I know it  my car had dipped to the right and I had lost control (mayday mayday). No breaks, no steering and so I had to make an executive decision and crash my beloved little car into a ditch! Yes, a great big dirty ditch!! GREAT!!!

Shaking, I stick the hazard lights on, get out of the car and assess the damage. My tyre at the front was completely flat and coming away from the alloy. I also noticed a great big gapeing hole in the tyre wall.

You're thinking change the tyre right? Problem with that! The designers of my car have decided not to include a spare tyre to make room for the fold away electric roof!! Genius!! Instead, I have 2 tubes of tyre weld designed to re inflate the tyre just enough to get you home. However, in this instance, due to the big gapeing hole in the side of my tyre, I was smart enough to know tyre weld would not fix this problem.

So, lets recap, single girl, stuck in the middle of nowhere, its getting dark and the cows in the field next to me DID NOT look very friendly. Now what the heck do I do? What any girl does, call my Mum. However, Mum was away and could not help me and suggested I call the AA. However, last time I called the AA they were complete and utter a**holes and wouldn't come out to help me! So I was reluctant to do so!

But then, another car approaches and stops. A man gets out and asks if I am ok. Little did I know that this guy would be my life saver that evening. Not only did he manage to get my car to a local garage for repairs, albeit  I won't get in back until Monday! He drove me back to Wycombe (yes, I know, risky getting in a car with a complete stranger), going well out of his way as he was heading to Aylesbury. I am eternally grateful to him.

This whole experience has made me realise who is really there for you when you need them and there are still some decent people out there who will go that extra mile to help a someone in distress, there was me losing faith!

I am looking forward to getting my car back tomorrow as I am confined to my flat  and feeling so bored! I have to say, I feel lost without it, like I am missing a limb almost! I hope after this I have no more car accidents as I believe I have had my fair share now! Over and out!!
