Yesterday Ries and I had an appointment with my sis in Amsterdam. We went shopping at the Makro.
So at 9 am ries and I got into our car and headed for Amsterdam.

When we were at Hoorn and almost about to drive onto the highway, suddenly Ries cursed loudly and steared the car into the grass verge. The accelerator was broken off when Ries slightly moved his foot and somehow the accelerator was pushed underneath the brake :sick:
The accelerator was now only hanging on it’s gascable.
Somehow Ries managed to get the accelerator in the correct place, and drive carefully to the first gasstation on the highway.
Stupid us, we forgot to take our cellphones with us :angry: (both got one), so we had to use the phone in the gasstation to call the ANWB (the dutch autoclub) and my sis.
Fortunately within 20 mins the man of the autoclub arrived. He was able to “fix” the accelerator by using at least 5 cableties. Now we were able to continue our trip to Amsterdam.

At this moment Ries is with our car to our regular mechanic to get the accelerator repaired. We were lucky he’s at home, as his children have holidays.
