yep could only happen to us lmao,On the way there it started playing up and then we had the stupid idea of while were close to london we will show the kids the Capital and all the landmarks ha ha bad idea the gear box finally decided to pack up in central London,in the end i said to my husband try to get out the traffic so ended up breaking down in a permit zone in the end lol,called the rescue team they came out within the hour but then was another 3 and half hours after that (7.30Pm) that they finally sent the tow truck to us to do the 3 hour journey home,Considering the kids sat in the car for 4 and a half hours bored hungry and tired they was well behaved and even the driver said that we was the best passengers he has ever had especially as i had 3 young children,was an experience but lego land was worth it,now the car is sitting on the drive ready to go to heaven lol
 
Oh no! Sorry Karen...

...ain't nobody got time for that! :giggle

But glad you were able to have a good time at Lego Land despite the car trouble.
 
Yikes, that sucks! Well at least it broke down on the way back.. So are you getting a new car now?
 
Oh that sucks...but that's awesome about your kids. I only have one, she's 11, and she would have been whining the entire time, I'm pretty sure.
 
That sounds terrible Karen! I hate when stuff like that happens. But your kids are awesome!!
 
That really sucks! But I am super impressed with well behaved kiddos for that long! Mine would turn evil and eat us for lunch!
 
Boo on the car but yay that the kids were so awesome about it all! That definitely makes things a little less stressful. Reminds me of a time when we were kids, our car broke down on our way to Munich from Wiesbaden. Talk about a fun time lol. My parents ended up having a get a new car.
 
This sounds like one of those phishing scams. I was waiting for you to ask for money. LOL
 
lol angie now theres a point,any contributions would be greatly recieved to replace bertha ha ha,nope its real he he was gonna replace it soon anyway,was an experience not everyone has a 3 hour journey in a pick up truck lol,my kids will surely remember there trip to london
 
Oh no, that does not sound like fun! Glad the kids were good, you're right - it will be an adventure they will never forget!!
