What cars do you see on rescue trucks ?

Supercharged16v · #1 (**Post Link**) 12-10-10

After a conversation I had yesterday with some friends, I thought it would be interesting to see what cars we see on rescue trucks every day in the streets.

I'm not talking about crashed cars or cars that are on their way to the press, but normal usual every day cars that broke down in the streets and were picked up.

This is a list of cars I've seen the past two days while driving:

Please quote the list and add your listings at the bottom. No numberplates please

1 - BMW X3 - right before "Demosthenous" round about
2 - Subaru Impreza Series 8 - last night in the highway Nicosia-Limassol
3 - Subaru Impreza Series 9 - today at " Metro " roundabout
4 - BMW X3 - today in Strovolos

I also have a list, but at my new job I have the luxury of been online most of the time. That doesnt mean that I'm available all the time though...

Obviously Chris is the "Big Brother".

Never leaves his office, has web access, probably web cams and therefore can monitor the roads and the rescue trucks with their cars on them.

Chris can you tell what I do now?

Actually I am home pretending am a house painter.

Starter at 8:00am and still trying. As far as the espresso is concern, I had already two in an effort to boost my moral. You are welcome to join me. (for coffee not painting)

When I get more experienced I will be open to offers.

My mistake........i meant a Z4!!!!!

Supercharged16v · #14 (**Post Link**) 05-11-10

Seen a Citroen C4 a two days ago and a Peugeot 306 today.

I'm pretty sure as to what happened to the Peugeot.... the tensioner of the timing belts must have bended and the timing belt probably snapped ! .....a bit of a common problem...

BMW 3 series. so many BMW 3 series..

a friend of mine lives in london, en route to his house, i pass a BMW dealership, all glass and lights, with a tiny yard out back.

one saturday evening I went passed, and saw no less than four AA trucks with 3 series on them waiting to unload. the 3 series died in 1992, before that it was a great great car. E24 and E30 forever.

*ahem* One of my e30's is the only car I have ever owned that actually tested Brittannia rescue's 'fair use policy'... 12 times in a year

(please excuse the colour, I was on a lot of medication that week)

here's what i saw today

AlfaGrale · #19 (**Post Link**) 07-11-10

...and you were driving in your ferrari right?
Going from limassol to larnaca....? maybe some guy from dubai brought his mclaren with him and the truck is just delivering the car to it's owner

VeinsInMyAcid · #20 (**Post Link**) 07-11-10

yea i was

didn't notice a brera or old merc around..maybe you saw it too after me

or it's probably being delivered to the airport to go back to dubai. These guys ship their cars with them for holidays.

AlfaGrale · #21 (**Post Link**) 07-11-10

....

no, no I just realized that you are in your ferrari from the curvy red bonnet that is shown on the 1st picture... very unique feature

Also, from the same picture you can realize on which part of te motorway you are... it's also very unique if you've been through that part of the motorway...

....anyway, you are right these gus are unbelievable, they come for 10 days and they might bring their cars with them.
On the other hand, if you are used to drive such cars, maybe, you don't accept to drive normal rent cars on holidays

...who knows

VeinsInMyAcid · #22 (**Post Link**) 07-11-10

it is a particular part of highway i have to agree, i kinda like it. the surface on it is alot smoother than the other highways (you can really feel these things in the ferrari) and it also has a couple of nice straight stretches

AlfaGrale · #23 (**Post Link**) 07-11-10

I agree with you.
It's one of the very few parts of the motorway that is very smooth.
If I can feel the difference in the Brera I can imagine how it would be in a ferrari

NineOneSix · #24 (**Post Link**) 07-11-10

Mine or otherwise BMWs

Supercharged16v · #25 (**Post Link**) 08-11-10

Seen a VW Golf and an Audi TT yesterday.

Personally I've never been broken down and having to use an AA truck
