First breakdown in 39 years.

This is what will happens if the blocking ring (which has to keep the axle in place) of the driven rear axle breaks down and not does anymore what it should do: the rearwheel + brakedrum about 30cm next to the car, no propulsion and, worse, hardly no brakes anymore. Nevertheless I managed to stop with the combined help of hand- en footbrake.

This did happen last month, when we were on holiday in the South of France with our 1921 Stutz open tourer. It made that we had to continue our holiday and also had to travel home in a rental car, for the first time we started driving classic or vintage cars (1975).

In this all we were pleasant and professional assisted bij de Royal Dutch Automobile Club (KNAC).
