A tale of hope in the motor trade. - Pugugly {P}
Some foreign tourists in the area last week lost their keys, this rendered them totally immobile. Local indie was the nearest garage to them, he turned up in his truck and towed the vehicle away.

Whilst they sat down to that uniquely British experience of bacon butty and tea in the statutory chipped and grime stained mug, he ingeniously by passed the ignition and immobiliser and secured a temporary ignition lock and key. The cost of this - a big fat zero. Hardly likely to generate repeat trade but they did have one thing in common.....the vehicle in question was a Honda motor cycle, and the indie a very popular and much respected non-franchised motorcycle dealer. Just goes to show that the milk of human kindness does still flow in this benighted country.

Just goes to show the Honda security is carp. Bah humbug.

Is there anything better than a bacon butty?
