Car Trouble

So our luck wasn’t with us that morning as the car decided to brake down just before we got to Fort Augustus. Ben being the readily prepared gadget man he is knew that one of the coil packs stopped working, so we limped on 3 cylinders a few Miles for a safe place to stop to look under the bonnet. We found a car park and an old man who was eating his lunch offered some pliers to remove the faulty coil and drive Ben to the local garage to see whether it was worth buying a new coil pack or alternatively unloading the whole car to find the spare one Ben already had. As it turned out, car parts cost twice as much in Scotland and would also mean having to wait until they got the part in, so we unloaded the car just as it started to rain, typical. We managed to fix the car and didn’t get too wet, so we were still in ok spirits all things considered on our drive to see Nessie.
