"Thank You Fagaras For Your Help" Fagaras by topmarmot

It was about 12 years ago that I drove through Romania, on the way back to Scotland from Moscow.

The people we met were very helpful and hospitable. Our car broke down in the middle of nowhere (long story, I blame the low octane fuel in Russia). A passing motorist towed us around for hours behind his very small car trying to find a repair shop and in the end we stayed with his family in their apartment In Fagaras for several days while the car was fixed. The first picture shows our benefactor, his son and friend. The tall guy is my brother.

Thank you Fagaras for all the help you gave us and for being such great hosts.

Car still broken = everybody miserable

Here is the car during the "still-not-working" phase.

If you look carefully, you can see my brother's feet. He is lying in the back of the car, a little stressed out.

The engine is in bits and we just realized that the third member of our team had not packed all the spares he was supposed to have brought. Thanks, Iain.
