My faith in mankind is restored!
Driving home from Donington Park today and we all decided to call in at a village pub.
Anyway, I lock the car as normal and proceed to the inn.
Get back to the car and the keyfob won't unlock the car.
After 20 minutes of trying I give up and now starting to panic that I'm 40 miles from home...
Bear in mind it's a Sunday evening in a tiny village. The barman told me there was a tesco petrol station 3 miles away and it might sell batteries. So off I run, only to discover they sell every battery except the one I need!
It's now dark and with no 3G signal I can't even ask you guys for help!
Just about to phone the AA (my membership ran out 3 days ago) when I spotted a Rover 400 on someone's drive. I knocked the door and this ex army chap was more than helpful in lending me his battery!
Got it going and he wouldn't even take a tip. Top man.
Stress over! Rover to the rescue!
