| II unlikely place to look for trouble I had gone over every thing before spotting it late at night. I was lucky to find a sportsman in an old Lancia who towed me 26 miles to the nearest village. The old rope he produced broke about six times in the process. However we stole some iron wire from a fence in a field & carried on with that. We had to sleep the night in a filthy house in a god forsaken village. The things I said about Cars, & Bentleys in particular were very much to the point. I think you would do well to consider making a more secure job of this connection. | ||
