Two broken down 911s...

[heebeegeetee]

Traveling north up the M1 from Luton this evening, i passed 2 911s on the hard shoulder. First one was a 996 with RAC man in attendance, then about 40 miles later i saw a 964 Targa being winched onto the back of a truck.

What's going on guys? I also saw two Tuscans on the M1 this evening, both running fine. We'll be getting a bad reputation at this rate.

Anyone on here?

Hopefully just run out of petrol or flat tyre.

911s got no spare tyres?

Yeah, but it may a lady driver who doesn't what to do. Someone who is clueless about cars etc. A million scenerios.

Just hoping for the best one.

People ask why i want a warranty on my car.

I hope it is something like Call as said such as a flat tyre for their sake.

Yes, yes that explains the 996 scenario. However, what could have caused a 964 owner to have actually called out a recovery service?

This is worying.

997 doesn't. You get a can of gloop and a compressor. I think I'd rather call out PA than drive on that stuff though!

I have no problem changing wheels, but I certainly wouldn't do it on the hard shoulder of a busy motorway. fk that! I call the AA and get well clear of the car.

Funny that! I was driving home on the m25 just passed the M3 junction yesterday afternoon, I see a "pimped" Black C4S on the hard shoulder with hazards on. Black, black wheels blacked out windows, thought it must have been Shaft's company car anyone on here know who it was?

[SEE YA]

If you saw them, did you not stop to ask if you could help maybe?.

You're not allowed to stop on motorways.

Well the 964 is at least 15 years old!! things do go wrong....

[SEE YA]

Maybe so but I would still stop, and ask also people speed on the motorway and they are not allowed to do that are they?.

I too saw the 911. It was, I recall, on the hard shoulder at a point where the M25 splits for some reason and therefore was 3 or 4 lanes left to most of us. By the time one saw it, to pull over would have caused mayhem.

In any case do do so, unlike speeding, would be highly dangerous, as well as illegal. (Which of course speeding apparently is too; illegal that is, not necessarily dangerous).

Well the thought was there, each to there own I would like to think someone would stop and ask if they could help me one day.
There are some nice people out there.
