Well only those who drive the cars any distance will know the answer to the original question. Some, like me, have taken the view we can always fix our little lads if they malfunction. So have not bothered with breakdown cover. For with odd cars like ours that generally means, if the owner cannot fix it, Mr Mobile Mechanic cannot. So its a drag to a safe house. Though at times a rummage in his box of bits comes up trumps. I gained cover by default of my insurance scheme.
So the real answer to this question comes from the sub classification of those who drive their car and require better cover than the limited drag you out of danger one I am on, for what ever reason. So far no one has answered that question, so perhaps that subclass is vacant here, as reality is most people do not do the sort of mileages that warrant that additional expense. Hence the deviation onto other headlines.
Personally I find it rather smart of Bond to offer such a package / service. Would that manufacturers now where so friendly and helpful. You can see why folk stuck to their Bonds. I suppose the modern equivalent is seen as leasing your car. Not quite the same ambiance though, has it?
Of course covering the car is an option. Perhaps the MEC should market breakdown cheap. If you car breaks down, you dial in. The nearest MEC member attends in his trusty Schmitt. Gives you a hand to push the car to a suitable spot and turn it into a facsimile of a bush using one the Club's Camouflage Quilted Cover. Safely hidden you can then return at you leisure to collect the car later by whatever method suits your needs. All you need is to join the MEC. Ah, there is the problem. You cannot, as it has not taken new members for about three years, save internet ones. Damn, another cunning plan destroyed.
I like the idea of Breakdown Insurance. Pay the premium and we will pay out if you car does not break down in use. I sense a fortune to be made! Like employing Scottish boy scouts to turn off peoples petrol taps. Based on a very amusing tale, by the way.
Well that about covers it, but I cannot fix it I am afraid. Bit like the cars, really.
