Having just had the best drive of her life from Brighton to London, I got off the M25, was using the engine to break, when CRUNCH!! The gearbox decided it had had enough. So there I was blocking off the entrance from the M25 sliproad onto a rather busy roundabout in the early rush hour. Got some nice looks, some angry looks and some abuse from people in a horse carrying truck (I wonder if they ride on Byways?!).
After a while the Highway Agency turned up, gave me a tow to a lay-by (the gearbox was making a heck of a racket) and left me to it. I got in my girlfriends car and got home. Have just been out to collect the landy. Sorry looking beast. Now parked in a caravan storage area, waiting for my Dad and I to get the time to go and put a new gearbox in.
Ho Hum. No laning for a few months now :(
