Game Over!

If guts, determination and sheer bloody mindedness were all that was required - we would be in Spain by now, waiting to go to Morocco. Unfortunately, some good luck was also required and that was sadly lacking!

Fruit managed to get as far as Montpelier in the south of France before the car just stopped. There had been the expected problems along the way but most were solved with a turn of a spanner whilst others required a little more ingenuity - fuel pumps wired via a cig lighter.

On Saturday morning Fruit was barrelling along when the engine cut out with no warning - this proved to be a problem too far. Despite numerous attempts to get the car going again both Fruit and his new French mechanic friends were stumped - game over!

It has been some adventure, and we have met and worked with some great people, but we just couldn't manage the happy ending we were after.

We would like to thank everyone who helped us with this project and hope everyone on the Tuareg has a great time - we'll be thinking of you!
