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 !!
