My car stalled in London rush hour today right opposite the Tower of London, just couldn't be worse, it selected the wrong gear and the ECU switched it off!! I couldn't restart it after all sorts of fiddling! So humiliated the City Spanker got out in his suit and started to push his Sports car to the side of the road across the traffic much to the extracting of the urine by the rest of London's automobile commuters!!

Suddenly I heard "Hoi Jonny do you need a push!!!" It was Deano!!! In his big white van!

We pushed it to the roadside, with a helpful cyclist, thank you who ever you are!

This allowed the gearbox to de select and it started again! And we drove along the two lanes talking side by side all the way to Canary Wharf!!!

I miss you guys but have had so much on this last year there just hasn't been the time to get the car out of the truck!

Need to get the engine to APM Andy and get sorted! Dave and I met at Goodwood on Sunday and have a plan!

Thank you Deano! You are my hero! and good luck at Donington!

Cheers

Jonny

PS Did my car select second to match fate so that I'd meet Deano and want to fix the Cerb up again?

OMG not only is Dean heading for the DTEC Championship(well deserved), he must now be number one candidate for the Thunderer Award as a good Samaritan and saviour of lesser mortals stranded in the City in Lambos - Clark Kent eat your heart out! ! !
