Well, here’s a fun little update…
The brand new Polestar 4 hire car has suffered what can only be described as a full-blown, catastrophic failure… after covering a mighty 1,200 miles. Truly heroic stuff.
Mid-journey, I’m greeted with a very ominous message from the dashboard (never the friendly kind). A quick call to the hire company and Polestar Assistance later, and out comes the cavalry — courtesy of Alliance Recovery.
The recovery chap takes one look and casually says: “Ah… we’ve seen this before. It’ll need recovering as no one has managed to fix this message!
Four hours later and numerous phone calls the recovery eventually arrived and I handed over the fob, wished him the very best of luck, and made my exit.
Thankfully, I was auditing a pub at the time (every breakdown should come with such perks). After a complimentary pint to steady the nerves, I Ubered home like a man who had accepted his fate.
Apparently, a new luxury car is arriving tomorrow. I did politely request that it not be a Polestar.
Once bitten, twice electrically immobilised.
So… am I jinxed?
Stay tuned for the next thrilling instalment of “Cars I Have Angered.”
my job is a beer auditor hence why the spell check defaults to that rather than cask doh case 
I’ve done over 1000 miles in it so far and I’m hoping they keep my Xpooper until May as I will miss this when it goes back
