Parked outside the school with the poling station, voted, came out. My cars trying to start itself; chugging away. So I ran over to it put my key in the ignition to switch it off, but it is off. Then I notice the black smoke coming out from under the bonnet. What do I do? I ran back to the poling station and said 'my cars on fire, what shall I do?' The unanimous answer was to call the fire brigade, which I did. After a lot of explaing exactly where Yeadon Westfield Junior School was (right around the corner from the fire station), the care taker turns up with an extuingisher and promptly extuinguishes it. Not in time to save the car...all the electrics are burnt out and because it's 10 years old it will be a write off.
Hang around an hour and take all I can from the car. It gets taken away never to be seen again. I was very hungry.
I wonder what we will get. Either way some money will be lost and there's all the hassle of finding a second hand reliable car. It was such a good car, never let us down, and now this.
p.s. anyone recognise the title of this post? Answers on a virtual postcard please.
