With the car under 6mth old we headed off on our annual hols. This time the plan was south of France; Monaco and stelvio folowed by Switzerland and return.

Only things didn't go quite the way we planned......
The french gand canyon was great and then on to St Tropz where it p*** down all day.
The following morning we were greeted by this sight from our bedroom window...


The insurance company have been ace. This was the Wednesday morning. By the time we flew out of Nice on the Friday my replacement car was on order. This should now be with me the end of this month.

LV Insurance have been great.

I thought a little water in the fuel was supposed to help combustion
