About 6 months ago, we teamed up with CarThrottle to help rescue the internet hero, Phil, a mark 1 MX5. Whilst ourselves, and CarThrottle both released videos documentic the epic trip, there's some things you won't have known about the campaign, until now!
1. CarThrottle's truck trailer blew a tyre!
Did you spot this in CarThrottle's video?
You may have noticed in CT's video, Alex states they're 'running late' whilst en route to the Eurotunnel. This is because Nick, from Skuzzle managed to blow one of the tyres on his trailer. This can be seen sitting in the storage bin, briefly.
2. We all had to share a room in Ring Garage
Ethan saw some things, and will never recover.
The original plan, outlined in the campaign set up, was that we would camp at Ring Garage, out the back. However as it was so cold (and 4am) by the time we tried to go to bed, we decided it best to sleep inside Ring Garage itself. This meant all 5 of us had to sleep in a tiny room with no fresh air. Although we were inside, things still were quite windy...Thanks Alex....
3. The Evening got a little intense
Alex and Ethan having had a few drinks
Once the BBQ had come to an end, we all moved to a shisha bar, and everyone (minus Matt and Skuzzle's Nick) consumed quite a bit of alcohol. This led to events such as the above, and Misha (from Ring Garage) trying to do 6 shisha pipes at once!
4. The home-bound Eurotunnel traffic was awful!
We had to sit in traffic for almost 2 and a half hours. That's quite a long time. Especially when the distance we had to cover was about quarter of a mile. Vin Diesel once said 'I live my life one quarter mile at a time', well, we nearly lived our ENTIRE life in one quarter mile. It was agony, made worse by Matts desperation for the toilet.
5. Matt got into a very minor car crash
Ok, Ok, this was technically the day after, but it still counts, right? Upon our return to blighty, Matt had to get a new tyre for an MOT test. Unfortunatly a man in a van reversed into his passenger side door and dented it. The man did pay Matt though, and even offered him free Tapas. So y'know, silver lining and all that.

Hope we see again next CT Meet at The Nürburgring - That Trip was definitely awesome
We don't talk about that in case misha sees!
@Nicholas Martin. I think the Skuzzle Guys were both "Drunk" because you remember 1. we drove some and the Story with Misha his Lawn and the big 4x4 ?
Hahaha they did indeed.
You forgot to mention the 22 Shishas that smelled like "Toilet Cleaner"!
