Getting old but not past it

Just got back from spending 3 great days with my brother near Cong, in the county of Mayo. The house he rented was big , on the side of a hill with wonderful views across the lake. The four of us ( his wife, mine and both of us) had a great time touring round Connemara and in the pub in the evening with fantastic Irish singing and music. The people there were so friendly and cheerful. The only downside was this morning when he drove us back to Garway to catch the train to Dublin for the ferry back to Holyhead. His 18 months old Mercedes broke down 10 miles from Garway. The car has only done 30000 miles and the turbo has already blown! Knowing my brother, this is the last time he will buy a German car and he will probably change it when he gets home. In the meantime, he is hoping it will be repaired before he goes home next Saturday.
As for us, we were lucky that a very kind Polish man who lived outside where the car broke down, offered to take us to the station.
