First challenge. My Dash2 died in Doncaster due to moisture ingress. RT are shipping one to my hotel in Austria. I’ve stripped it apart and dried it in a bag of rice overnight . About to refit it as we dock

I guess it rained a little?

 

France is forecast for 40c this week, so it will all dry out

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

I hope so. The bag of rice hasn’t fixed it 😱

 

 

Bagpuss made it on board and we put @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club SecretaryIn charge of charging 😁

Oh dear, it's horrible driving without a dash.  Years ago a friend had an Astra with one of those "space age" dash displays which would sometime go blank.  As a passenger, I would occasionally catch him peering into other cars on the motorway to find out how fast we were going...

 

Do you have a sat nav which displays your speed?  That would be something at least.

Probably had a full strip down and rebuild on the boat!

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

We’re now boiling to death 😱

 

RT have shipped Dash2  to hotel ready for our arrival in Austria 

 

Many thanks @Mistercorn and the team at RT

We’ve had a pleasant drive through Belgium, the Netherlands and into Germany. Rather warm now 

 

we’ve wound our spring perches up to give increased ground clearance ready to board the train in Düsseldorf

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretaryadjusting his front suspension

 

No no problem loading, let’s hope unloading is as successful!

 

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

Train is rather warm and cosy 😁

 

No problem getting the cars on the train. We didn’t get our hoops bashed in or our sumps fowled.

Racing my Dash2 replacement across Europe👏

 Just spoke to DHL and I’m collecting the parcel in Innsbruck at 10:00. It was originally on a end of Fri delivery to the hotel👏 So whilst the rest of the gang wind down their suspension, I’ll be collecting and fitting my Dash2 

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

@IanK (Bagpuss) Were you able to send your config file to RT so they could load it for you. 

 

Im all for taking a few tools on a tour but never thought about a laptop before?! 🤔
