Diary of a pizza delivery dude ep03.

What do you do when your car breaks down while delivering?

A few nights ago this happened to me, i had only been at work an hour and my car decided to play up, it was chucking me around like I was on a buckeroo.

White smoke was pouring out of the exhaust and the car came to a stand still, the smell of diesel was overwhelming and I just knew I was in trouble.

The car wouldn't start again, I lifted the bonnet and found diesel all over the inside of the engine bay.
My heart sank.

I phoned my boss who came to me, he took the delivery himself and then came back to me to make sure I was alright.

I don't have breakdown cover so I knew that I had to get this car started some how.

finally after playing with a pump that draws fuel to the engine it started, and 10mph I sat at all the way back to the shop, my boss followed me just incase and made sure that I was able to get back if needed too.

Was this the end of my job?

My boss was asking me what I wanted to do, I told him I needed my job and he agreed that he still wanted me to work there.

He pulled out his wallet and past me a grand and told me to go home and find another car and pay him back little by little each week.

I managed to get my car home, I parked up and told my wife what had gone off, I knew I had to find another car.

I looked online to see what was about but nothing was sticking out to me, when a friend phoned me and told me he was going to the car auctions I jumped at the chance to go with him, where else can you go to get a bargen car?

I was there yesterday looking at cars, and I found a bargain of a lifetime, a ford focus 1.6 petrol with 49000 mile recorded and verified and I bought it for £425, the book value is £1200

I took it home as my friend could drive it back and I have now taxed and insured it so I can go back to work later.

My boss is ace, and I respect him so much for his actions in helping me out in a time of need.

Who else could say their boss would lend them a grand to get a car? I have never known anyone to do it before have you?
