poor 308 man

A man came into my work today, he came in asking for somewhere to charge his phone, he'd just bought a 308 4 hours before i met him and the big end had gone on it, engine rebuild job, he was british but lived in france, he bought it to take over there and sell it on for at least 3 times the price. Thing is the car was suposed to be on an overnight ferry to france at 730 this evening aloong with himself, not a fun experience, anyway i thought slightly relevant so just thought i'd tell ya'll anyways.
