That's what I had to pay today when my old one gave up the ghost!
Add £97 for someone to come and give my old one a jump start.
And while I was waiting for him to arrive some kahnt reversed into me and caused £442 worth of damage.
Heute ist nicht mein tag!
£97 for a jump start is outrageous. Over here I think many taxi drivers will do it for you for $20 or so.
Sorry to hear about the £442 damage. Reminds me of this one time someone hit me while I was waiting in line at a gas station. It was winter and very cold, so we went inside to fill out the paperwork. While we are doing that, someone else comes in and asks “whose car is that out there?”. She had hit my car! While it was just standing there! Two hits within five minutes!
This was a vehicle recovery service I phoned. The closest I could get was 8 miles away. He was at my car for two minutes tops!
Re. the bump, that was the cost quoted by a local garage.
The guy who reversed into me was one of those Just Eat delivery drivers using his own car. I let the twat persuade me he could just polish it out. I reckon the fanny didn’t have any insurance. I’m a facking mug.
