Yes your right , but when i work on the M5 sometimes , the HATO'S like to park above on the bridges and it gets me all worried 
You do a great job when on the motorways looking after the breakdowns / incidents and also assisting me when i get deployed a job on there.
Keep up the good work

When I saw VX's mileage post, I thought of your one character, and its GALACTIC mileage. Testament to how a proper maintained D3 can go.
Is yours ex HA or Police

Dave, were you on the M3 northbound somewhere between Winchester and Basingstoke dealing with a broken down Galaxy around 7:00am? I pipped the horn as I whipped past in the outside lane on the offchance it was you I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

if it was a disco and between 6:00am and 2:00pm then it would have been me. Was working J7 to J12 yesterday.
BAD NEWS JUST IN
The Disco was last seen in the car park at work with the bonnet up and the RAC man scartching his head
The engine cover is off and there is some horrible orange coloured sealant type of stuff all over the place and its leaking fluid.
I knew I should not have mentioned the mileage. 
Looks as if it will go back to the dealer to sort out.
