It was all going so well. We had just driven from England to Greece in our little red car, had the time of our lives in Greece, and were now ready to turn around and have more adventures in Europe.

And then it happened. The car broke down. Blew up. Bang. Kaput. Two miles outside of Calais.

Of course, we were devastated. Gutted. Panicked.

How would we continue our trip? How would we get back to Italy in time for our six-week housesit that we had committed to in Tuscany?

And more importantly...HOW MUCH would the repairs on our little red love bug investment cost us??
