FIRE!
Christ almighty that was a fright!
After successfully ascending Europe's most famous mountain pass (2750m) in a less than healthy shark, we thought we were home and dry! Alas, our brakes had other ideas, and after 35 of the 48 hairpin turns on the way down, full and total brake failure forced us to ditch into the verge (the alternative was a Ferrari 360)! Hopped out, brakes on fire, spot of panic and then a LONG wait for them to cool down before we could get going again! See pics for fantastic Scally-Style assistance!
Big shout to Manc Scallys in BMW who went down in front as our crash barrier after that! Cheers lads.
Chose not to attempt the Dolomite pass into Cortina so took the long way round, the result of which was another night spent in the car, not pleasant!
On to Rimini...hopefully!
ps, car now has some additions thanks to Scally Crew from Leeds, we are now sponsored by BumLove.com (in rainbow letters)! Erm, thanks!
