Bit hard to take photos when you live were its pitch black you leave at 6.30am and are not back to 6pm you seem to spend your time before you freeze to death clearing so you can get out the next day :wink:

Yes Alpins, but not Pilot Alpins, dear. BIG DIFFERENCE. :tongue:
Thought you had gone to The Fatherland. :grin:
Glad to have you back in one piece. :smiley:
Not sure what type of Alpins - I didn't look that close or for too long. I'm sure you're right though.

The Winter tyre thing is just normal in other European countries and people seem to think that their tyres are important, lots of Vreds out there too.

Wolfie did over 2000 miles without a hiccup (apart from being force fed 95RON on one occasion which didn't go down too well), 4 passengers and a full boot and roofbox.


Love my car  :smiley:

Hi GolfTi:

Wolfgang will be the same as Wolfie Sat 8th Jan. Can't wait.

Wow. What an amazing drive. Which part of Germany? Love everything about that beautiful country. Will take a Rhine Cruise this year and would love to spend time in Saxon Switzerland.

Love my car to bits too.

Roll on March and I'll be Bluefinned too.

The twinning continues.

Asker.

Nice to have you back. Missed you.
