Didn't Make It Home
Discussion
My 3rd Year this year. Set off with my brother and our two sons in a Turbo S and an RS. Wonderful drive down and great event. Homeward bound we Arrived at Calais 2.45am Monday and took another happy photo
When it was our turn to get on the train the RS would not start. Tried everything. Turbo S left and my son and I waited. CHubb insurance were excellent. AS the recovery man arrived a porsche in a 911 turned up and offered us a lift to Birmingham. My son squeezed into the back and we were saved. My brother then then met us in birmingham and took us home. Thank you Chubb who who will soon repatriate the car and our hero Darren the 911 driver without whom i have no idea how we would we have got home that day got home that day. IF your reading this Darren - thank you.
I now await the return of my RS to find out what went wrong !!
Been there before, although not for some time now... It's a complete PITA at the time but all good fun for the next few years afterwards.. Although as I had a Ginetta back in the day it was a bit more of a where hadn't I broken down/stopped for a longer period of time than planned...
I've has the same with a Subaru Forester at the local dump. Radio transmissions from local power distribution office next door blocked the signal. Had to push the thing down a ramp to get clear and then bingo, everything as normal.
Hope your issue is that simple and glad it's home safe.
