The aa broke my beemer!

Today is my birthday and my battery is dead.

Not wanting to extend too much effort bringing my battery back to life I called The AA instead; they sent a third party rescue company.

He either wired up the jump leads wrong or him redlining his van to charge my battery killed my alternator.
Now whatever went wrong I saw smoke coming from the bonnet before he did but it was too late.

I drove down the road to check it, it died and the battery light was on without the keys in.

I ran back to him and he drove to my car to try again to no avail....

THEN HE DROVE OFF!

Abandoned with the windows down, on a road away from home after having your alternator killed!

Atleast by 4 hours after I initially called them they will have hopefully sent out a rescue unit to shut my windows

Claims process will have to wait until tomorrow; see how that goes -_-

Sorry to hear that, dude.

But, many happy returns anyway!
