Roadside repairs..
#30
A good few years back, en route to the SA7C Doune Rally in a friend's Type 65, the engine stopped with a clatter near Moffat. My friend was following some way back with his wife and two children and a small camping trailer. We pushed the car onto a slip road close to some crofters cottages and investigated. Engine out suspecting a loose flywheel but found the crank was broken, thankfully not separated. Decided not to reinstall said engine but placed on passenger seat. Car hitched up behind the camping trailer. By this time we were filthy and needing a wash we knocked on one of the crofter's door. Man appeared, allowed us to use his facilities, then noticed the car + trailer + Seven set up. In a broad Scotch accent he frowned " Ye ne going ta tow tha' wi' tha' - the polis, man, the bas..rd's ul do thee " ! We made Doune safely, passed by several " polis " cars. The great Scottish Seveners up there procured a fresh crank and rods and the engine was rebuilt by the following day allowing me to make the return trip to Nottingham without incident.
