A car can have different problems. A punctured tire, a break in the electrical circuit, a dead fuse.. or, as was the case for our old bright green jeep, part of the engine would like to split from the other. As a consequence, also the type of repair, and the tools you use, differ: in this case, it is important to have a strong rope (to tie the rebel part to the car body), a big screwdriver (to tighten the rope) and a powerful crowbar (to force the part in place). Two strong friends are helpful too. Pouring rain isn’t. It is miraculous how two pulleys become perfectly aligned again, the belt that had leapt out runs smoothly, in spite of two hours on one of the worst roads I have seen. (Also the chain that holds the back of the car together did its job dutifully).
