Hey Stu, I'd take a radio but not sure if itd be worth/safe enough me having one with the mrs in the car, I can imagine it now driving through Munich And all the small towns e route to Salzburg, Eyes Left, Eyes Left, Eyes right boys, know what I mean? Lol I imagine they'll be snapped up pretty sharpish by others on their jack jones though.
I'm making a bit of a journey of it too, from Northern Ireland. Overnight Ferry to Birkenhead from Belfast on the 17th, night at a mates on the 18th then another at Folkestone on the 19th, Chunnel to Calais morning of the 20th, 2 nights in the Champagne region before onto Monaco for 2 nights there leaving on the Friday. Hope to get the F1 practice in since its that weekend, I'm told. Then a night on lake Como, Varenna before final run to Munich on the Saturday to meet everyone there. Same craic as everyone else until after the TD then in two minds to spend another night in Salzburg with the troops before Shimmys previously mentioned drive to Nürburg over the Alps for a night at the Tiergarten and onto the Ring the Thursday before heading for the ferry on the Thursday night. Should be an Epic trip if the Mrs' back can stick the CSL seats for 2500 miles! How's the work offshore out there? I'm still in Brazil and although I've considered a change, I'm kinda at the stage of better-the-devil-you-know, and now grasping the language it's becoming not so bad. Let me know if they're looking a OIM out there anytime soon, lol |
