Bank Burners: Heart Stopping Moment

Met at the start on another beautiful morning.

Bank Burners were up, but Hector and the Homos finally lost their nerve and refused to get up for a 9am start. They had a taste of the easy life last night in Monaco and wanted more so stayed in bed!!!

We are now in Spain.

Just before the border we had a heart stopping moment. Phil said we lost all power, and while we tried to carry on there was a terrible smell.

We would normally put this down to Craven, but as he was still in bed we decided to stop the car!

The rear brakes were on fire!! We soon realised Phil had left the handbrake on at the last toll booth. Ran slowly for a few miles to cool the brakes, to much beeping from fellow rally cars. All fine now though!!

Beachward bound.......
