Lucky F*cker

[Grant]

Always a reassuring sight to come home to:




Coming up the road in the van, had to get some tools out of the garage for work, and saw this ^^^
I immediately thought SH!T!!! someones tried to nick my motor! I didnt leave it like that!

Then my neighbour, who works for the RAC come over and said
'you are a lucky son of a bitch. Your car has been cranking itself down the road, and it took us 20 minutes to get into it'
I always leave my car in gear, as im on a slight slope, and lets face it, peugeot handbrakes arent the best... Not doing that again.
It was cranking for about half an hour apparently, and they were both amazed it started first time. They reckoned smoke was billowing out of the bonnet and wheel arches. There is a nice collection of metal filings around the engine bay. Haven't had a chance to look, but im guessing i can say hello to a new starter motor and flywheel in the near future.
This is how far it got, its normally parked infront of where my van is:


Just thankful they managed to get the battery off. They broke the door handle trying to get in, but a small price to pay against it catching fire or driving itself off IMO

And, not one wheel has been kerbed :pray: . It just mounted nicely on someones driveway.

So that situation could have been a hella lot worse.
Rep to the RAC man. Legend.

Now time to go and inspect my pikey wiring that probably caused this
