Huge favour - Someone with trailer?
Discussion
Well folks,
Car is f
ked again. Bottom end went last night at Knockhill 
RAC recovered me back to my dads in Stirling so now I am left with the dilemma of getting the car back to Aberdeen. RAC won't do it, can't join the AA as it says on their website that they won't cover cars over 10 years old. So basically the only option I can think of is to try and find someone with a trailer who would be willing to collect the car and take it back to Aberdeen. Obviously all costs would be covered along with beer tokens. I know its a huge ask but its the only option I have at the moment.
Cheers
Jamie

Are you sure the 10 year limit's not just for a vehicle membership? As far as I know there's not a limit if you get a personal membership that covers you for any car.I've certainly used them several times on cars over 10 years old with Home Relay.

Kris, can you send me an email to jamieeastcroft@hotmail.com.
Car would be picked up from FK7 9LZ going to AB21 9JL.
I am pretty sure it says in the T&C's with the AA that even personal cover doesn't cover you for a car older than 10 years. That is the only reason I joined the RAC instead but they are absolutley no use at all.
