ferny Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Finding I'd used all of my oil in only a few miles was entertaining. The only clue was the oil light coming on as I coasted into a German services for fuel, nice! Ripped off the rocker feed in a carpark where everyone was resting then went on the hunt for a plug to put in the block (I'm a genius you see...). AJP gave me one (oo err) and then the sun came up to reveal the graveyard we were next to!Also, watch out for dodgey energy drinks. I was knackered so bought some cans of curious caffeine in France. The sugar and coffee-esq properties didn't do much. However, the constant clenching and fear of coughing certainly stopped my eyes from shutting. It also allowed me to take in the artwork in the toilets on the way to the Nürburgring. Hitler was in most of them and there was a fine mixture of him either on his knees, or behind someone on theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Flexney Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 going for a swim in the Med on Sunday morning before driving back to Calais. The sight of 20 pale (to say the least) English people trying to get changed behind their cars must have been a sight. Will have to do that again sometime.

Goody Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Toilet, the one's at the vistor center at the big bridge were of the kind found in Asia! Two foot tredalls and a HOLE! Warning: Never assume the car in front of you with the 3 Sat/Nav's that you see in the windscreen know's where they are going, Don't Follow it! Unless of course you want to buy us BEER! But then we will have to go to the TOILET!OK who else can use the T word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 10CR 2007; Coming down the Gavia, I saw two Porsche 911’s, a few bends down, coming up.But as I was backing of to make room for them, number three, which was a bit in front of the others,came flying round the next bend.I managed to get my car in between two of the Italian style crash barriers (see picture) without damaging one of the cars.The Porsche driver was reminded how wide arsed his car was, as I heard a rather nasty scraping sound, like rebuilding your bodywork on a rock face!

If the Gavia is the one I'm thinking of, one of the few times when driving on the correct side of the car is an advantage on the continent! YOU are at the side of the road. At one point, I was less than a finger width from the rock face - the audi passing had half of his tyres over the edge ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
