Only downside to taking a trailer is that you have to do 60mph (iirc) along all the motorways when everyone else is off at 70+ (on euro roads).


yep thats what you are surpost to do is 60mph unless you are on a mission to go pick your car back up ;D

The drive there is mind numbingly boring tho ;D

I dont know about that. We had a great time on the way there and the way back when i went. Depends who you go with i suppose?


I wouldn't say the drive there or back is "boring" not when your with us, I mean this year we had cars breaking down, head gaskets going (this year it wasn't mine) and cars smoking (ok THIS was me) and we had quite a good bit of banter on the radios.


Hey guys - didn't mean to upset anyone with the 'boring drive' comments. It wasn't a reflection of either run, it was just my view on travelling on a long, long motorway through france, belgium and germany! For me it just got a bit tedious driving in a straight line for so long (especially on a motorbike).

The ring was quite scary on a motorbike - so really looking forward to it in a car - whoever I manage to go with :D

Gexx - I know in previous years there were a few of us who took the scenic route. You cant beat the twisty roads of Germany. Im sure Che will be leading a few people through the picture-esq country roads this year.
