GREAT DRIVES: UNTIL THE MUFFLER SNAPPED!

There is always plenty of advice of what tools you should carry in your car for any emergency repairs. Now, the MACH SR7 does not have a large trunk to carry a comprehensive range of tools and certainly nothing to repair a broken muffler? My best tool, well that the plan, was being an AA Plus Member for those unexpected situations that leaves you stranded…

It is almost an unwritten rule that those difficult break downs happen when it is raining, out of cell phone coverage, on a road with minimal traffic and more than 50 kilometers from a garage. When the muffler snapped, I hit all the above and resorted to standing in the rain and flagging down a large truck. The lady driver was incredible, stopping and offered help! Unfortunately all we could find was a bundle of sad looking string and a beaten up hose clip…she then set off to tell the garage I would try and get back to them or could they send out the AA tow truck. The below string sling looked ugly but enabled me to limp back to make a temporary fix.
