had a crack in my oil feed pipe for the turbo causing a big plume off oily smoke coming from the car as it leaked onto the exhaust.

had too drive home at 60 all the way and stop off at every service station too top the oil up.

just made the ferry and didnt get home till 11:30 after setting off from france at 9 in the morning.

car was a white mr2.

spotted the convoy of libras.

one of the red ones sounded swet not sure if it was yours.

was amazed as too how many times the same car would pass me considering the speed i was going and the amount of stops i was making.

Saw you on the empty bit of the A28 North of Le Mans - you were in a (very slow) convoy with another MR2. I commented on your smoke to my passenger at the time. Now it makes sense.

I was in the Red Ford GT with white stripes.

Yep saw and smelled you going. on the A28

we we're in a yellow sylva striker (seven) and had a red toyota starlet TRD behind us.
