My car is not running very well at the moment. It’d been running a bit rough for the past couple of days and I’ve got it booked in for a dyno session on the 31st. Unfortunately, on Friday evening as we left the airport to head for home (I’d been out picking up Kitt’s sister) the engine lost power and we pulled over to the side. It was running terribly and stalling out at idle, so I called up RACV and we waited.

Over an hour later, the guy finally arrived, took a bit of a look and suggested that we head for a late night RACV service center near the next off-ramp. We couldn’t even get past 80km/h and finally limped into the center. There the guys made similar comments and indicated they didn’t have the parts/gear required to service a rotary.

We wound up waiting another hour for a tow truck to arrive and, $70 later, deliver the car and us to home. Hopefully it’s nothing too major and I can get it up and running again soon.
