Merc 600 kicks off week of frustration
My friend Jon A the tube train driver must think I spend my life at the roadside with broken cars because that’s what happens whenever he rocks up. Taking the Super Snipe for new rubber it conked out halfway with fuel feed problems. It was one of those ‘what the hell am I doing this for/spit-my-dummy-out’ experiences but luckily John was following in his faithful 500SEL and the other John (John Stuart who does all the work) turned up and worked his magic in a lay-by. The car was looking quite good with posh new number plates, which was probably what made me trust it.
