Yep, but it's like a 1 year waiting list. However if it's raining you may be able to get a cancellation

England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany

My friend just got his car taken away in Belgium, so the convoy will be staying sub 100 until the welcome to Germany sign. Then it will stay sub 200

And another:-


"Belgium is still hot - I pulled in to get fuel yesterday and when I was pulling out a cop clocked my British plate, the M5, gave me an evil stare and 10 mins later I was being tailed by an undercover car (for 25 kms or so!). So the heat still have their panties in a twist."

Thats why I have isle of man plates

thanks mate, thats what the guy said!

sub 100 until germany, then sub 200 IN germany, hope you realise my car is a jap import with a high ratio gearbox, can do 150 max (on private roads of course) but will need plenty of petrol stops.

hope the fuel is cheap what ron is it? would I need to stock up on proboost?

They have 98 RON in all countires (apart from Netherlands so don't fill up there).

In Germany you get Shell V Power which is 100 RON min.

Don't worry as soon as I see anything that looks like a bend, I throw an anchor out the window I don't do corners

Last time I got overtaken by a diesel Rover when I was in the 911 Turbo.

I need driving lessons

All the roads leading to the ring are pure twistys

Twistes, lucky we are not coming off at the Eupen turn off, as I don't think many of us would make it to "the Ring"

Nev, when I come back, I will sort the route ( motorway ) and then we can give it to everybody just incase you go into warp-drive and leave us all in France

PS Quick rack fitted today.........
