Sheepy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 After reading about the last 10cr and the problems when a diff blew, the car was recovered to a garage (in France if I remember correctly) and the owner having a nightmare getting it all sortedI was thinking if the unfortunate does happen, have your car recovered to my place in Belgium, then you can leave it there for as long as you need, and we can repair it at your leisure so you can then drive it home at a later stage!Just a thought if it helps. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sienna PI Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Many thanks Sheepy! Having broken down (Gearbox failure ) in Germany (10CR 2011), this would take a lot of stress out of an unfortunate situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goody Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Fantastic offer Sheepy. I hope no one has to take up on it. Again this is a GREAT club! Some might remember when I lost the windscreen a club member brought me a replacement at Roloc. If you have a show at your house, be sure to charge a Yorkshireman doubble.

Beans Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Don't want to dampen your spirits yet ...... but when my car broke down in 2011 it took three weeks before it got home. So a few miles short of Sheepy's place :PIt also depends on the coverage you have on your car.At the time in my case it said if the car couldn't be repaired in two working days it would be transported home (or a destination to my choosing).So well worth reading the insurers small print.

Saltddirk Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 No shortage of storage space,Can put some at my place also, Sheepy and I live only a street apart. Plus you can use the fourposter if you want to repair in-situ, or borrow the trailer. (that is if we don't need it first LOL) What Shaun forgot to add is that we are situated sort of on the route to and from Aachen if you use the Tunnel / Calais port. A bit less so if you are using anything north. Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 yes plenty of overflow space! ;D but we are not going to need any of it!just thinking out loud, if we do go to the start on the wednesday, perhaps we could organise a stop at our place for a cuppa, then travel onwards to Aarchen in convoy! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
