Clutch failure. Stranded in Vihti... waiting for the call from towing company ...
I had been skiing in Vihti. Felt good... then as I was leaving, disaster struck. The clutch pedal lost all pressure and car wouldn't go any longer.
To add to the injury, the towing company claimed that they need an extra 100 € for towing from Vihti to Espoo, as the insurance wouldn't cover it. Well... I had no choice. These old cars can't be repaired at all shops. Plus I needed to get back home.
Magnificent skiing views:
