Poor Nigel.
My commiserations and sympathies.
It's a while since I lost a car to breakdown but mine was in the shop for
its rebuild and respray for *14 months*. Luckily I had my dad's car during
that time (he's disabled now and couldn't get in a Spitfire - and certainly
wouldn't get out again even if we tipped him in - so he keeps his Rover
going with me as occasional chauffeur).
Even so it almost felt like a bereavement at times after being in daily use
before - and since. I had to keep going in to see it just to convince myself
I still owned a car - tho' at times I was beginning to wonder...
Someone out there was certainly looking out for you - getting off the
freeway just in time as you did.
Anyway, here's wishing the patient all the best for a speedy recovery.

wood!)
