My car decided to give up the ghost this afternoon. Well actually it was the battery that gave up. I think the heat out here destroys them pretty quickly.
After waiting an hour for the roadside-assistance guy from the insurers (thank goodness I wasn’t still in Jozi) I consulted my dear friend google (thank goodness for mobile internet) and found, on expatwomen, the number for a battery dude.
And wouldn’t you know he and the insurance guy arrived within minutes of each other despite me telling the first not to bother after 80 mins had passed.
Long story short, I am now the proud, ok maybe grateful, owner of a brand new Kuwaiti-made battery.
If you need the battery dude’s number here it is . Save it now!
Incidentally I am off for my mini summer vacation this friday! Woohoo another glorious week in France. I can’t believe its been a year since our last trip there, time flies in Dubai doesn’t it?
Chat soon. A bientot.

One response to “mobile car dude :-)”
Update: Removed the guys number – the lying cheat doesn’t deserve any recommendations from me. Sorry. See the more recent post to understand why I say this..
