Around 2002 we were on holiday in France on a site just before the start of the climb to Alpe d'Huez - one of the most famous of the Tour de France's climbs. Another Brit in same site coming back from the village had significant fade on a relatively modern Astra. First time they'd taken a car to France.
They were OK and car was flat bedded to (I think) Grenoble for repair. He had to find his way out of the city and back solo in a LHD hire car.
