What did the officials say?
Fleet Maintenance Control Manager Neil Plummer said:
“We survived and all arrived back home safely after a successful trip round parts of Europe for our charity drive.
“We had no issues other than a water leak on the last day, and on our way home, which was rectified quickly by the genius that is Alex.
“A great time was had by all and the spirit of the Screwball Rally was something to remember.
“Over 80 cars attended and not all made it to the last day.
“The camps en route were pretty decent and the sights seen along the way were simply amazing, especially the Swiss Alps which were breathtakingly stunning.
“All in all from start to finish, we travelled 1,800 miles in a cab that cost £300, so a pretty decent attempt I think!”
