Not sure what the problem is, but it is not accelerating right, so we turned around and made it back to the house. So, we are going to have to cancel our trip. A huge disappointment as we were looking forward to the trip to see Lluis and the gang. Hopefully this will be covered by the warranty on the car. Drink a couple for us.
