The beginning of the end?

With just a measly 160 miles to go before the end of stage 2 in Munich, a crisis erupts in the van.
The Mystery Machine is overheating and we are forced to the roadside. Could this be the end of our adventure so soon?
We entered Germany about half an hour previously and, while trying to accelerate up a hill, Mystery belches out a big black cloud of smoke and the temperature guage hits red. Gulp. Luckily the lay-by we limp into is also home to another Team of Coyotes standing around the open bonnet of their broken Robin Reliant. One of them is a mechanic on a ship and after a cursory glance at our engine he diagnoses the problem as a lack of water in the radiator. We just left the stop 5 minutes after refilling the radiator. Fingers crossed this problem has been solved.
Only time will tell.
