Location

Where is everyone? 

Day 1 so far....

After an eventful morning supporting the Toy Story team and ultimately seeing the demise of their transportation, we are now on our way to Thun!!!

After discovering McDonalds is not open until 10:30AM in France, we too have had to amend our to diet to one of Pringles and Coke!!!

Now we are watered and fed we are heading to Saarbruken where we hopefully join up with some other cars!!

We have also seen what seems to be a 'Hells Angels' type rally too!!

The 101st Team

Official Day 1

It's really the second day for us. We did drive from Ireland yesterday and across the great Great Britian!!!!

So after some fosters, and a kebab we are ready to get going on the road to thun. For future reference, when a hotel like the ibis has 'budget' in it's title, you should not expect anything! That includes a comfortable mattress.

We thought we did a good job on our car, then we saw the others and our illusions of grandeur disappeared rather quickly on inspection of other cars.

Currently we are 160 miles down, a toilet break and a change of driver are not the only essential things. The coke and Pringles is the staple diet for today, and no doubt the weekend.

We are driving, driving for that cold beer in Thun!!!

Darragh, Ger & Chris.

Who can't handle the G's!!!

We already have one pilot passed out because of the immense forces exerted on him from the F-14!!!
