Anyone see me broken down?
On the eastern freeway Monday morning 
(apart from my step dad... who didn't even realise it was me...)
I blew a spark plug!  Wasn't that fun! Finally got to work at
12...... after two tow truck rides and a taxi! I love my RACV extra care!

Obviously Wolf does not like that spark plug and spat it out!
If I still went that way I would have stopped and helped you out.
We have not had to use the Extra care yet, just the easy things like jump start and out of petrol. One day it may come in very handy, especially since
we travel on long trips in the bus.

Volkscare, wait for taxi.
