Breakdown cover! UK and EU?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I think my last RAC renewal was £160. Full cover apart from home start. Any car myself or SWMBO are driving or passengers in the UK, Western and Central Europe (ie not Poland, etc) I get a good level of discount as I have been a member for almost 15 years.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

i was with the rac for years, never used it until my brothers car developed a dodgy wheel bearing & he insisted on being picked up... so after a 1 hour wait collection etc we were delivered home, & he then drove the car for a month before getting it fixed :evil:
i was happy with the service, just not with my brother :x
