Morning everyone from Germany.

Few more pictures. I saw my first traffic light that counted down how long was left before you could go. Great idea. We also went to view some war graves and there where two German graves amongst all the allies and this was generally not done from what I understand.

A few pictures from where we are staying tonight in Switzerland. It’s absolutely stunning.

No he has just not had his medicine today

Be afraid everyone@Geoffrey (Buttercup) - North Yorkshire AO

So day 5 already today !!!!saw a longer day covering 290 miles including a few detours We started off from the two different locations and all met up when my clutch linkage needed fettling, oh the joys.... I really must say how helpful and interested the locals were, broken English and broken french and a lot of hand gestures but it provides a great ambience So on we cracked after a bite to eat fuel and a wander around the village on to Mulhouse where we had hoped to visit l’cite de l’automobile but on arriving discovered they were soon to close So again we pushed on towards Sturlingen and our fabulous hotel where a hot meal beckoned, Most of the day was dry and sunny but when the showers hit they were biblical Tomorrow morning we’ll check the cars and we’re off to the Rhine falls, Switzerland and a brief skirmish into Austria Sorry not many pictures today

Last one from me .. honest. First part is stalking the Lobster again. Not sure what happened at about two minutes in @AdamR? Forgot to mention it after the session... was I supposed to go past or had you just feathered off the throttle a bit more than you intended? Anyway was a good session. Second bit.. after letting Stoney and Ross past I tried to hang on. I'd been having trouble with my glasses dropping off my nose for most of the day. At about 9mins 30 in, I'd adjusted my goggles and snatched a gear. Unfortunately I hit 4th instead of 6th! I calculated that would be about 8300rpm if I was fully off the clutch.. vtec Pinto.

Not one MP at Westminster can be believed or trusted. Not a one. Crooks, liars and thieves, every one of them. The whole thing has been a supreme waste of time. Bojo is a reprehensible human being on every front, but not one of them can deliver Brexit in any form. May was undone by a bunch of well-dressed self-serving power hungry berks who weren’t prepared to negotiate to get the best deal and only have their own benefit in mind and couldn’t care less about the public. Worst joke ever. Monty Python said it best (apologies for the caps): WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAY IN WHICH POLITICIANS ARE REPRESENTED IN THIS PROGRAMME. IT WAS NEVER OUR INTENTION TO IMPLY THAT POLITICIANS ARE WEAK-KNEED, POLITICAL TIME-SERVERS WHO ARE CONCERNED MORE WITH THEIR PERSONAL VENDETTAS AND PRIVATE POWER STRUGGLES THAN THE PROBLEMS OF GOVERNMENT, NOR TO SUGGEST AT ANY POINT THAT THEY SACRIFICE THEIR CREDIBILITY BY DENYING FREE DEBATE ON VITAL MATTERS IN THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT PARTY UNITY COMES BEFORE THE WELL-BEING OF THE PEOPLE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENT NOR TO IMPLY AT ANY STAGE THAT THEY ARE SQUABBLING LITTLE TOADIES WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF CONCERN FOR THE VITAL SOCIAL PROBLEMS OF TODAY. NOR INDEED DO WE INTEND THAT VIEWERS SHOULD CONSIDER THEM AS CRABBY ULCEROUS LITTLE SELF-SEEKING VERMIN WITH FURRY LEGS AND AN EXCESSIVE ADDICTION TO ALCOHOL AND CERTAIN EXPLICIT SEXUAL PRACTICES WHICH SOME PEOPLE MIGHT FIND OFFENSIVE. WE ARE SORRY IF THIS IMPRESSION HAS COME ACROSS.

I have just booked on with the Cooper S A couple of the North Oxon Westfield lads are going to book tomorrow. If anyone else fancies it, come and join the fun? https://www.motorsport-events.com/collections/track-days/products/28-june-2019-abingdon-track-day

Following on from the favourite Album thread, what is your favourite Play/musical or Film. For me:- Play , The Book Of Mormon. I thought I was going to have a heart attack I was laughing so much. Film, Saving Private Ryan, the D Day landing at the beginning was spell binding and Tom Hanks acting just summed up an ordinary man doing what he had to.

Hi, Abingdon with Motorsport-Events is a great first track day within a short drive from you- lots of space to play. It used to be popular within Hants&Wilts area.

Are you in Transalvania?

Has Geoffrey chipped a tooth?🙄

This has been a great build Mark. Thoroughly enjoyed your attention to detail and the efforts you have gone to keep this car original. I am slightly sad it’s come to an end. Whats next ??!! 😀

Guten morgen Westies!

I really enjoyed yesterday and today. 318 miles yesterday and 290 today. We travelled through France yesterday and today and as I type we are in Germany. The difference between the two countries I found really amazing. France was such big views and massive fields with villages a little run down and Germany is trees and busy and there are people and cars. We went through so many villages in France and there where no people. it was as though the French had been wiped off the face of the earth. The Channel Tunnel was so easy to get through and use and passport control was done in minutes. The roads through France where lovely but it all looked the same, huge. We stopped at Thiepval . It was amazing to see the monument and I did a rough calculation of the names inscribed of the fallen oilers and there where 3000 to a panel. Literally thousands and thousands of inscribed names. Lots of wooden crosses which say "Unknown" and others which just state, " A solider". We stayed in a beautiful house last night that had the river running straight underneath. You could hear the river from our rooms and we had a wing to ourselves. On the way to Germany we stopped at the Charles de Gaulle memorial. Huge numb looking building in the middle of no-where. The inside is huge with just a few old cars on display. It was ver surreal and did make a good impression. Drove through a few long tunnels which was great fun and through ten minutes of really heavy rain but apart from that the weather has been really good. We have also had quite a few mini adventures along the way but this are for another day. I also used my first toilet with a conveyor belt.

We can see where he's deposited!!
