Arrived in Thun after a 12 hour drive around some of the best looking motorways I have ever seen in my life. And to top off such a day my Sat nav took us up some very nice single track mountain roads. Ready for tomorrow now :)

My chauffer Parker says a beer can cut with gaffer tape and cable ties should do the trick
He's really a mechanic and is better at that than chauffeuring lol
TEAM FAB1
Is anyone as far back as teams OCP and Fab1? 270 miles away fron Thun! (No beers for us tonight ha ha) may see you all in the morning!
Help!
Hey guys!!
Dublin P.D here, seems we may have run into a little issue. Coming out of Germany and it looks like we have blown a turbo hose! Were still driving but will need sorting out tonight before the alps. Do you know of anyone with Volvo experience??

Day 1 so far....
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!!

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.
