My car died *sadface*

It would appear that bad things happen at the most inappropriate times in the most problematic of places. In my case, 30 mins before picking my sister up from school, 8 miles away from my regular garage. The problem being the connection between my gear box and the gear stick becoming disconnected and stuck in 3rd gear. I did think about maybe contacting the AA or RAC as I am supposedly a member of one of them, but then I didn’t have their number on my person at the time and none of the paperwork inside the car was relevant to my needs. Eventually after calling around I got hold of my garage and they said they could help if I get my car there. Without any pick up service numbers at hand I chose to mission it there in 3rd, yes up and down some pretty steep inclines. If at any point along the journey I was forced to stop I would not be starting again so it was indeed a gamble, but as Joey knows I like a flutter and so I headed off.

Well I made it to the garage and they should hopefully be able to fix the problem for me by tomorrow midday so for the time being I am stranded at home oh well…
