One of our cars had a transmision problem in Czech Republic while it was driven back home to Romania, and our driver left the car in a gas station, and returned home with another car. We went 2 days later on 16 october 2008 with a Volvo and a flat bed to bring back home the other car. I drove the flat bed all the way, 3000 kilometers in total. We went with a 200 hp Volvo V40 T4, it consumed 6 fill-ups with gasoline, but I was the fastest trailer in Europe, overpasing on the Highway with 150 kmh and a 2,5 tone trailer behind me. In Slovakia the police stopped us because we didint had the vignette for the trailer, we were going to fast and its not allowed to tow a trailer behind a familly car. The fine was 1300 euro... When we got to the car, we discoverd it was open and the cd-player was missing. On the road back home we saw a lot of accidents, I even saw a Lamborghini Diablo wrecked, and 5 accidents in Prague. We slept in Hungary and the next day, continued the road back home. In Budapest on the M0 highway, there was a huge accident, involving 4 trucks and a car, we needed 4 hours to get out of the traffic caused by the accident. we finally got home on Staurday night, 18 october 2008.
