The warning signs were there. Constant high temps and red lights flashing. Stopping every hour to cool down was never going to save us! And eventually, to every Dumballers sorrow, Colin the sheep bleated his last bleat and had to be towed to a suitable place and laid to rest. Or rather, stripped, emptied and fuel sucked out and shared around! Green Squadron is a sheep lighter. . . but a lot quicker now!
But we are not alone! Earlier, about 10 miles after leaving the ferry, The Strangelets of Yellow Squadron were seen ditching after blowing their radiator.
So us of Ewe-Turn are now spread around in other cars in Green Squadron for the rest of the trip. But we are still part of Dumball which is all that matters! However there are some question marks over the reliability of several other entrants. Day 2 - 2 cars down!
The heat is on now to make up time and get across Denmark and into Sweden in time to catch our ferry to Poland.
R.I.P Colin
