Wasn't when it happened for me. It was The Day The Car Broke Down two years ago and I was waiting for an hour outside a garage for a wossname snatch vehicle pickup thingumajig to take the car to the dealer who would then take several weeks and about a thousand of my sterlings to fix it.
Mind you, one breakdown & nasty repair bill in 11 years of active service for the generally trusty old steed isn't bad going really. :touchwood:
