Trip to Germany

[Rashman]

I did recall reading in Car Magazine many years ago their account of driving a Porsche turbo flat out from Alice Springs to Darwin as the road was then unrestricted. Two things linger in my memory, the first being that they had to stop so regularly for fuel, a Toyota Landcruiser diesel kept pretty much the same average pace as it could just rumble on, and that such were the number of insects hitting the car at speed, plus dirt and stones, the car needed a total respray on arrival.

Wonderful news.
The Alfa, it is then.

I wish Jeremy Beadle was still alive.

We could do a great blag on Rash and get a duplicate CLK and drive a tank over it.

Thank would be funny.

And then we could come clean and say "do not worry, that was a mock up. Here is your actual.....oh hang on - we trashed the wrong car!"

You wouldn't need a tank. Just get a lycra lout to lean his bike against the car

Rash the kerbs were a nightmare in the ML, and I bet your sidewalls are much narrower uch:

Oh yes, the French are digging up the A16 from Calais at present so you might encounter some delays in the Dunkirk area.

So, with our Germany trip commencing in just under 24hrs, I thought I would execute a dressed rehearsal

I figured it was the only way to get my body clock used to the idea of getting up at 2.30am tomorrow morning. lol

Seems stupid at the moment

Rash you really are priceless

Hope you have a fantastic trip, and don't let fretting about the train spoil it for you

BTW, did anyone tell you about the narrow winding lanes leading to the AMG factory with the huge farm tractors on them?

Having read many many of Rashman's posts on car cleanliness.....is there a support transit following loaded with detailing products and a full team to work on the car overnight????

Yes, I've heard good things about the German roads.
Looking forward to sampling them.

Na, just me and my OCD

 

[Halcyon Days]

i'm going to Germany myself in a couple of weeks (via Amsterdam, Spa. then Nurbugring, Hockenheim, Stuttgart, Mulhouse...) in my CLK.

I mentioned at work "I'm not sure how many micro-fibre cloths to take.. You know, to keep things clean..?"
I was ridiculed immensely. :-D

Have a great trip!!
