Mrs Robbie sends me text saying that her car wouldn't start this morning so had to use her mums car, can I ring her to help
so been the dutiful husband rang her and asked what is wrong with it
"Dunno, it wont start! I turn the key and it just goes tintintintink!"
I work 240 miles away n she is going "tintintintink" down the phone to me, I said "go out to the car so I can at least hear it!"
"oh thats at home I've gone round to my mates for a coffee what do you think is wrong with it?" I get told
she said that she going to call in the garage on way home, which is 250 yds up the road and explain the noise to them!
it's a '98 toyota picnic with 170k on the clock that cost me £900 2 years ago so dont wanna be paying out loads to get it fixed!, I'm thinking its the starter motor if it anything else I'll see what other cars are out there atm get it started this weekend then drive to look at them & if we see sommat then PX theren then if not i'll tow it with my car few miles from home then call AA lol
