Car trouble.?

I was driving in the evening, I notice my lights gettting dimmer and then the brake indicator light come on and the car stopped. There was a strange smell coming from the bonnet (like something burning) but adjectives looked alright. I let the car cool and after started again. Lots and lots of smoke came from the exhaust pipe, the drove for a little while previously then car stopped again. I am going to the garage tomorrow, but does anyone give attention to this is a battery problem or worse?

Much worse than just a simple mobile problem. But I couldn't venture a guess. The lots of smoke scares me, and say major engine problem of some kind, but the dimming lights say alternator problem, or short in the wiring, but that wouldn't basis smoke. Let us know what it was when you find out.

By the way, given the problems, I'd be afraid to drive it surrounded by to the mechanic.
