Sorry to hear about what happened. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, one must keep their work schedule and commitments in mind and try to fit things in if at all possible. In your case, it just did not materialize. If I were you, I would have tried my best to wait at Khanewal (for around 2.5 hours) till the Rally caught on and then continue onto Lahore with them.
Anyway.....sad to have missed a chance to see patina cruise along with the VCCCP Rally cars........what a sight she would have been in the company of her shiny cousins! Character all the way.......
