Is anyone still kicking around Le Mans that can offer a lift back to
Plymouth? Cars broken down and the break down cover is refusing to repatriate.

UPDATE

I'm back in the uk, I got a rental car in Le Mans to Calais, stayed over in a Premier Inn last night and got another rental this morning to drive down to Plymouth as my cars here, another Premier Inn tonight and then a final drive back home to Manchester tomorrow.

So, the broken down car.... It was a Mazda RX8, my mate stayed with the car, in the end we found he hadn't mot'd it, it ran out last month, they would touch it with a barge pole. He's basically managed to nurse it back to Roscoff and got a tow on and off, as I'm in Plymouth I'm just off out to go get him. It's random how it's worked out, not happy on being £400 lighter though haha.

It all worked out in the end.

It could always have been worse, I was chatting to a lad and his dad on the ferry who managed to write off their 911 on the way home, top blokes too, I feel we got off lightly really.

They were not sure if it was a blow out or if they aqua plained, the lad said he didn't even look at the tyres after, too shook up and forgot, they were both okay though, walked away luckily.
