What whould you consider a reliability test?
I.e never cooked in 30miles so should be good for 300?
Getting tempted with a run to Silverstone.
Its a long way!
It's quite possibly more likely that something 'unlikely' is more likely to pack up than the engine cooking.
Wing stay breaking - dodgy connector working loose - that type of thing.
Personally, it would be my nether regions that would give up before the car would...
LOL thanks for the reply!!
I think i would probably run of of fuel b4 300 miles too with only a 25 litre tank!
Oh well RAC or The AA??? discussion time!!
As a mechanic I have had the misfortune to work for both of the above companies. (IMHO) none of the above would be the prefered alternatives. Consideration should also be given to the the facts. The AA is presently owned by an american company otherwise known as 'CENTRICA' who also owns British Gas and is currently trying to diversify into telephonic comunications to rival BT. Further they are currently trying to dispose of the 'AA' as a going concern, ( I wonder why. profitability perhaps? ). As for RAC, well the only thing that I can say is that it is being run as a profit making organisation, I believe it is still British, but as with the AA the objective is to road side fix as cheaply as possible (the less time the better) so recovery is probably the most likely. If recovery is required because of an accident then I believe that with both you are on your own. If it is due to mechanical breakdown, then with a specialist car, like a locost, you would possibly be better off with a good list of contact numbers in your mobile phone (possibly from this web site as there must be plenty of technical skills available here).
perhaps we should start a post with people prepared to "ASSIST" at varoius location through out the country!
IT WOULD BE THE SEVENTH EMERGENCY SERVICE!
4th?,thats a damm good idea you have there
I wouldn't worry too much. I would probably be 25 miles behind you!
thats good to know!!
