Lots of cars have been in real difficulties today. Car 1, the big La France, had a chain come off the chain-drive La France, and was the first car to go down.  Most have suffered suspension troubles. There is a great atmosphere in the camp site tonight, but the Sweeper Mechanics look like burning another drum of midnight oil to get everyone fit for more of this tomorrow…

  The Porsche 911 from Switzerland of Ulrich Koerner and Johann Fueglistaler was changing shock absorbers this evening, having confessed to running far too fast and then suddenly hitting a large crater.

Gas naturally leaks from the system and they need to be re-charged every two years."

The new car’s a full £2,390 less, despite the decade difference.
