We may have had a little crash this afternoon in Spain. A big green motorway exit sign lept out of nowhere... Honest! Well ok it was a minor lapse of concentration but it could have been a lot worse.

The car is currently in a Peugeot garage in Girona, Spain, and we await a quote of loadsa money tomorrow. The car seems drivable and starts without an issue but has some radiator damage although nothing is leaking. Tomorrow we are going to attempt to drive it to a friend in Limoge, France, and stay with them for a couple of days.
