Cannonball Bob Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Went to France yesterday and errr.......broke down after the coil wnet pop in the hoy weather and ensuing truckers' protest. Got recovered to a pretty disinterested garage ("Your car eez British, we cannot get ze parts".. .."But it's a f***ing standard old Lucas coil" ) in a town called Bethune about 80 kms from Calais..... Sat in the workshop was another Seven, BRG with yellow stripe on an R plate. If it's yours, it's still ok, bit dusty but otherwise fine. (There was also a blue Seven who whistled past on the peage when I was on the hard shoulder. Waved, smiled and bombed off in to the distance. Thanks for the help. ) Both My Cars Are Mostly Aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonball Bob Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's so when the car goes wrong you can still ignore it and press on. (must admit it had me intrigued too ) Both My Cars Are Mostly Aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
