hi everyone,
this week we set off on holiday off we went down the motorway. as soon as we left the sliproad sombody in a merc coming on at the same slip road nearly creamed us. anyway of we went relaxing to a nice pace and then we hit some traffic it was at this point that the scorp decided to over heat. anyway we pulled over to let every thing cool down. then we struggled on to a service station to check every thing out and top up with coolant.missery of we went again and everything was fine. we turned off onto the a road and started to head east when we got 5 miles from newark the cluch went,double missery. so the scorp has been in doc all week and we had to continue in a renault kangoo no dont laugh it;s the only rental available. any way as you can imagine my leg was like lead when we got there. so yestarday when we got the car back all fixed it felt like heaven to drive my scorp the remaining 60 miles home

Not so nice holyday, but hey at least now you got a new clutch. It's called optimism, just see the good part of it 
I was thinking how my scorp will handle a few thousand miles trip around europe.....anyway it was just a thought
Cheers
