What a day

My typical day at work in Cambourne is 8am to 4.15pm so that I can avoid the traffic in Cambridge. Driving to work in the morning was ok, arrive at 8am as predicted.

But when it's time to go home at 4.30pm, my car wouldn't start!!!! I thought I was doing something wrong. Called Sam for advise and tried numerous times to start it but in vain.... Asked my manager to have a look and it seems that I was doing everything ok so it's just the car......mmmmmm

Called our Roadside Assistance to come and help. Waited for more than an hour before he arrived, luckily I was able to sit in office to wait cos it was freezing cold outside...

The garage guy came at about 5.45pm and he couldn't start the car too. Not even with jump lead (no idea what other methods he tried). So he decided to drive me home in his tow car with our car towed behind.

Taken with my Sony Ericsson mobile
Me in the tow car and the garage guy pushing our car to be towed.

Any idea what happened to the car??? It could be the cold weather or it might be the car deciding to play dead on me or it's just me!!!

Arrived home safely at 7pm and will need to call the roadside assistance again to tow the car to garage when we fixed an appointment with our garage.

Maybe the car will be ok in the morning??? Not likely cos the battery is already drained after the headlights were switched on throughout the way home on tow.

Well, this will be a hole in our pockets.......
