Squeaky Spanners Euro Tour 2017

[Terryathome]

Over the past 5 years or so a European trip have been completed. This year is no exception so we @marcusb with Nakki and @Terryathome with Caroline are at it again. Cars will be, Marcus in his FW 2.0L Zetec powered blue cruser complete with carbon cycle wings (hope they stay attached on this trip) and myself in FW 2.0L Mega S2000 with a slight half hood zip situation that I hope to correct before the trip. 

It is our intention to update this post as we go along (Wifi access permitting) with interesting and not so interesting snippets of our "Squeaky Spanners Euro Tour 2017" will explain the "Squeaky Spanners" bit in a later post as need to find the video which will enlighten you.

To start with is the route. We depart on the 12th and return in the UK on the 26th August 2017 staying at 8 hotels & 1 Farmhouse. Most are 1 day stops but we do have multiple days at a few locations, the best one being a farmhouse (with pool) similar to the one in Pisa last year which was fansastico (excuse my Italian lingo)

So there you have it, will update as and when we have anything to report

Wow, that looks fantastic!

[Onliest Smeg David]

Yep - Would love to spend 2 weeks Westying  unfortunately not likely till retirement/semi retirement.

Hope you have a grand tour. Look forward to following your antics.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

How fantastic.

Hope you all have a great time.

Seems to be a bit of a habit forming with @marcusband carbon cycle wings. 

[Ali and Gail]

Wow as well, that looks great fun. Have a great trip.

@Terryathome do you think we should keep the Barcelono thing under wraps or are you going to shave your tash off ?  

[Terryathome]

You found it, hate to think what you were searching for in the first place. If you want to come out the closet then go for it. But don't drag me into it or me tash.

Started packing supplies last night

T - 48 hrs and @Terryathome has decided to change his diff 

 

 

[Terryathome]

It's done, just the boot box to fit. Don't panic till tomorrow when I test drive

[Terryathome]

OK then here goes the "Squeaky Spanners" explanation.

It was @marcusb who started it, he was thinking about my squeaky brakes and came up with this. How he came up this this i don't Know but I think it involved a few beers and Ebay.

The prerequisite to the video was that we have just been on track and @W Shep said my brake lights weren't working.

Test drive went with no hitches. In fact it was better than alright, it was dam marvelous. The diff is so much quieter, Barra Motorsports done a fine job.

Now to get the luggage rack on
