The other weekend was JAE and we set off after loading up the car at 7:30am. We got about 60 or so miles when loads of smoke came out teh back of the car so pulled onot the grass of the hard sholder (can't be to carefull )
got under the car to see the porp was rubbin on the back of the box and killed the seal (guess i had a little to much weight )
So 8:50 called the RAC explained the problem gave them a eaxct pinpoint location (thanks to roadangel) and waited,
After explaining that the car was old and had just spilled all it's gear oil over the road and it had to be a recovery truck, they sent me there guy in a transit van. He looked at the car and said i can;t fix that u need a recovery truck.
about 11:45 the truck arrived to take us home, finaly getting home around 2pm before moving all the camping kit inot other car and setting back off to JAE getting there around 10pm ish (they shut the A1 causing me a 40mile detour).
I put a complaint into the RAC and waiting there investigation results.
other than that the Show was ok not to many retro cars though and i never took enough pictures,
