Cool! I've been spotted. Mine was the V8S, I stopped to see if I could help the chap with the Chim, sadly his serp belt had become detached, and he had overheated. I think he was planning to get it dropped off at Austec, hope its ok. His wife didn't look too happy.

Hope he gets it sorted then, good of you to stop and try and help.

Fingers crossed, he'd owned it for five years with no major issues. I have a nasty feeling this will be his first large bill.
Shame I couldn't help much, I carry spares, fanbelt, plugs, dizzy cap etc, but this was too big a problem to fix by the roadside.

My goodness, you're very well organised. I just carry the AA (roadside recovery) membership card!

Oh I carry that as well. Never leave home without it.
I like to have the basics, too many years driving classics I suppose
