Broken Down

I often used to have to jump start my Allagro; I was also adept at hitting the starter motor with a hammer!! I loved that car!

I hope that this was a life saving lead.

Lol who doesn’t love a car that you know how to fix?! terrific capture of this, as someone is reflected, standing by

@grammyn that's Him and our van! We'll spotted Katy
@wakelys they were headed back to Suffolk, been waiting a while for someone to assist them

[Dawn]

A nice selective colour and reflection,hope the wait wasn’t too long

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I thought it looked like him, but I couldn’t be certain

[Joan Robillard]

I had a car that the butterfly valve used to stick everytime it rained. It was a pain to fix in the rain but I got the job done. Unless a man offered to help. They always screwed it back on to tight and I couldn't open it the next time. That was back in the 70's.

My husband tells me the hammer thing doesn't work😀

I had an old Ford Pinto and carried oil in the back because I was always having to add a quart. Hope you got the battery charged up.

@randystreat he managed to drive off
@365projectorgchristine it certainly did in the '80s tell him
@joansmor I had blokes tell me how to deal with the starter motor, but I was skilled!!!
@Dawn we sorted him immediately - unlike the lady just now, who also has a flat battery at 07.00, and has to be somewhere urgently. He was still sleeping, so sadly I said no to her - for now

Great story image and narrative

[Merrelyn]

Nice use of SC

[Peter]

Don’t you just hate it when that happens but still fits the challenge perfectly Jackie:)

[JackieR]

@merrelyn it needed something to perk it up!
