when we picked up our hire car today at chambery it broke down after 1/2mile, limped it back to the airport and got it swapped, it has only been tonight afer exchanging tales with the locals who say that it was probably the diesel freezing (waxing) that caused it - there has been an unprecidented spate of breakdowns today with the same issue
like i said in an earlier post - fookin cold, it's okay tho as today was meant to the the coldest with temps picking up to a max of -8 degrees on tues / weds - yippe bring on the shorts and vest tops
there were a lot of visitors in les houches this weekend for the downhill, drove past on saturday night and it was a graveyard of broken down vehicles with loads of pickups coming and going!
Sunday was a lot more pleasent, although todays really cold again
