Hi guys,

well weve made itin one peice - 468 today after getting off the ferry - 720 miles in total.

I would go on about what its like but words cant describe - its georgeus and the roads are out of this world!!

Andys already had me screaming my t*ts off!!!

Just had a shower and having a beer in the bar, going for something to eat soon.

Cant wait till tomoz

Hope you guys are ok

 

Hi people. Its Sean on Ellie's account as i cant be bothered to log in.

Finally made it. 250 miles from Wakefield to Dover last night. Ferry was 90mins late. Set off on the ferry at about 3.20am, arrived at Dunkerqe at about 6am.

468 miles later, we finally arrived. Got lost a few times, but the roads more than made up for it.

Im sure more people will update you later.

Hope everyone is ok

 

Glad you all arrived safely, hope you all have a top time

 

Look forward to the pics

 

Been out for tea & now just watching tv in the bar with a beer.

We are off to bed soon, been a long driving day today.

Up at 8am tomoz for beakfast then off into the hills for 240 miles of windy mountain roads to the next location.

Will try and maybe post a couple of pics in the next couple of days - depends if we can download some pics off computer to leave space yo upload

Night all

 

Hi Ellie, glad you all arrived safe and well. please tell my other half to
call me thanks. Left him several texts and a message. His phone is going straight on to voice mail. how weird too cos he's got my old phone and it's got my voice on it still. thanks

 

hi guys, glad to see you all got there safe hope the weather stays fine. don't forget the pictures and stay safe.

 

Just been talking to Al, they have done 468 miles today!
Travelled through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and
Switzerland. Al raced Sticklemeister ( and in Al's words not mine )
He kicked his ar*e , even in the new shiny motor

 

Hi, nice to hear they all arrived safe and they are enjoying it...bet there will be a few racing this week,,,,awwww bless... Men and their toys...Debs x

 

Nice to hear you peeps made it over safe and sounds we need pics..have a nice one..

 

I feel a little clarification is needed.

Al didn't race Sticky, as this would be very illegal on public roads. What we did do was conduct a scientific experiment under laboratory conditions, using strict monitoring. The results were as follows...

On a long, wide and straight test track, similar to a motorway, a BMW 335d will, after a short spell of no difference, pull away from a 388 BHP Scoob. Not massive amounts, but it's there. Much to both Al and my own surprise and amusement.

Then we arrived at the twisties and the Beemer in my mirrors disappeared quicker than a 2CV driven by Miss Daisy herself.

It is (Brace yourselves anyone who knows my opinion of BMWs) a stunning motor, and he's getting something like 55mpg, and I would certainly consider one as a potential future Stickychariot. Bring on the mods. The first of which HAS to be a TomTom, as the built in sat nav was programmed by POB, and insists on taking in the shopping centres of every city, town, village and hamlet it passes within 50km of. Utterly useless

Right, off to see what yesterday's pics came out like. Thread soon

 

morning sticky glad you lot are ok i'll be looking for you on that camera thing

 

Just rec'd a text of Al ....just having sausage 'n' chips at the top of Col du Corbier in Switzerland some awesome driving roads ......

 

Dont rely on Al's sat nav Katrina coz you'll be sight seeing round Wakefield instead of going to the hair dressers

Landed at second hotel in Brienz and the men are just getting showered for tea.
They say it takes women long to get ready - jeez i tell you

Hotel is lovely and next to the lake. Got a lovely view from our room balcony, mountains, lake and wooden buildings (i dont know what they are called) but they are a damn nice.

Got some ace pics and had a ride with Si and Frostie too today, been a right laugh.

I think weve got a day here tomoz just doing what we want (Andys going shopping ).

Seeya all later

Ellie

 

Glad all is going well and thanks for the updates from you and sticky ..

Cheers Ellie, thanks for the updates, tell Al there's
no excuse now cos he said you wouldn't
