Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 @W Shep @Terryathome and myself have just set off for a week touring around Europe , along with our better halves 😀we’ve got a few things planned so will keep you updated for your entertainment. We have had a gentle run to Hull today with 2 minutes left at check in due to Terry needing two fuel stops and even more ‘Vape’ stops , then me and Terry were directed to vehicle search , again !!! on the boat now signal nearly gone ! 3 Quote

Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 We had a good night on the boat, late to bed and slept in so was woken by the cleaners trying to get into our cabin! Terry (ex member) loves his new WSCC glasses case we got him 😁 we managed about 100 yards on the continent before our firsts breakdown, Wayne’s had heat soak queueing for passport control and his battery ended up flat so Terry to the rescue for a jump start 👍 we’ve all forget our headlamp deflectors so have made do with bespoke gaffa tape alternatives! 1 3 Quote
Gary Taylor Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Gaffer tape on the near side of the lens so you don’t shine into the oncoming cars not the offside 😁 have fun and hope the battery charges on the move Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 We’ve made it to the first hotel in louxenburg and Wayne’s car has been ok. Terry has been sporting his new man bag which took all my concentration to not burst out in laughter 😝 We found an ice cream parlour on route and stopped for a break which was a godsend as it’s getting hot 😎 5 Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 @Barnsley John is correct the half hood does fit it the fw boot! 2 Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Today we’ve a 180 mile run South to our next hotel near Strasbourg which will be a 2 night stop, looks like it’s going to be a hot day today 1 Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Yes it was a hot one today, left the hotel and the sun was out and by 11:30 it was nudging 30 degrees😎 We went the scenic route and found a few twisties as well as a couple of autobahn straights to test the cars for later on in the week 😉 my speedo sensor is playing up again it was reading 15 mph but my sat nav was saying 110 ! Must have a look at it in the morning. wayne has managed to blag some garages at our hotel for the next two nights so no need to gat the cars covered - thus has saved a good half hour of faffing with roofs etc. Wayne (duratec) and myself (zetec) are not doing as good mpg as ex member Barber (s2000) I asked Terry was this something to do with him braking at every corner in the twisties! He said no he was just getting old and bought himself a tart for comfort 👍 Day off tomorrow but will probably have a run out to the Black Forest area which is in our doorstep😎 1 Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Wow. Is that Nigel Mansell eating that tart. 1 Quote
