ok my plan is join the aa today, then tommorow go pay for my car(head gasket failure with no tax), tow it to the closest boozer and call out the aa. get fed and watered while waiting for mr aa man. when he arrives either tell him: 1. that i just bought the car and it broke down on the way home or 2. just tell him i broke down. i've never been a member of the aa so im not sure what there rules and regs are. should this work? the car is about 50 miles from home

lol.depends on wen u catch the aa man in his shift tbh. i bought a valver a while ago...had to put wings/bonnet on it to make it look complete, bought as a non runner, no leads etc rad. wheels. car looked a rite mess tbh, mixture of red blue and naples pink ;)

rang aa up...luckily i caught the guy just starting his shift, and the 150+ mile journey would take him to the end of it lol

was a bit dodgy and funny as fuk...u shud b fine tho mate

I think they have a policy of something like you cant call them out within the first 24/48 hours of your membership to stop stuff like that happening. Not sure about that but i heard it somewhere, might have been when i thought about joining!

yeah think they will have something to cover that, but they are obligued to tow your car.

im with RAC have been towed all over the place. best one was after cadwell 233miles home at 11pm. got home at 3am, and he had to drive back down to durham. he seemed happy, as he was gettin overtime just for drivin. 8)

You should be fine matey make sure you join more than 24 hours before though... my mate bought a maxda 323 turb 4x4 which hadnt been driven for two year and had boarded up windows... pushed it to the end of the blokes drive nd called the breakdown guys!

it depends ont he cover you have...unless it stipulates you can request to be taken home (which is dearer), they are likely to ring round local garages to get it fixed.

The thing that works in your favour in any case, is that its a valver...not many garages liek them :lol:
