Where I spent most of the last few days
The back lights broke and we fixed that with speaker cable and terminal blocks. Then the exhaust broke in half and we fixed that with a bread knife, alfoil and lots of wire.
And then it started making strange sounds on the E14 in Sweden on the way to Stockholm and it's now, in the words of a Swedish mechanic, "very kaput."
So we're down one Townace, and catching the train to Stockholm.
We seemed to entertain the roadside assist guy, another roadside assist guy he called over, and a passing policeman. That's our job: to share the hilarity.
We'll let you know more once we work out what we're doing. In the meantime, we've got a train to catch.
Bonus quiz question: can you guess the Swedish word for Broken? We know it.

If I remember the Swedish Chef correctly, and I think I do, the Swedish word for broken is borkey-bork.
So, you, you ignorant schoolkid, take that!

Apprently he's actually known as the Norwegian Chef in Sweden and speaks even weirder Swedish than he does English. I have this on the very best authority from a Swedish friend so it must be true.
