mechanical problem | ||||||
"The car just stopped again and we couldn't start it. We did everything we could, checked every wire. Then it started. An intermittent electrical problem. That's our rally ruined now and I'll be sweeping the road tomorrow. We have to stay positive and try to make the most of the opportunity to test. I can't buy any good luck at the moment." | ||||||
