Oh lord. What a day!
We took a trip to Sweden, my little car died (but not before I'd had chance to buy a few things in the iittala outlet store!) but we were saved by my AA European cover. Phew! They towed our car, paid for our taxi to the nearest town and a hire car to get us back to Norway. The best £150 I have ever spent.
My car is now somewhere in Sweden and I'm crossing my fingers it's gonna be ok. That little car is my freedom!
