When Warren, ('Roboduck' on the old site) had his breakdown in the Alps en-route to Greece in 2013, BMW Assist did almost everything it could to cock up the rest of their holiday, not that it was the Assist service's fault.
BMW said it couldn't get a new water pump for ten days!
BMW provided a hire car!
Warren does not have a car licence, never has had!
Mrs Warren did have a car licence, and a badly sprained right wrist!
Mrs Warren had never driven on the wrong side of the road before!
Mrs Warren had never driven a manual car (except during her test a million years previously)!
Mrs Warren gets ready to drive to Italy to catch the ferry to Greece (on the wrong side of the road with Warren changing gear for her when she remembered to tell him to and when he remembered how)!
BMW then point out that the hire car cannot be taken on the ferry to Greece!
Warren and Chris spend their Greek Odyssey in Italy and Switzerland (where they had been a million times before) rather than in Greece where they hadn't, badgering BMW about their broken bike!
C'est la vie!

)
