Tunnie was on the ferry at 10:30 this morning, just heard from him, now in Belgium after a 90mph stint, 30.7mpg.
Pictures will follow when he can email (as my SIM can't do MMS)...
-
Will he be sending pics of the senny being loaded onto a breakdown truck????what odds he breaks down at least once. ;D ;D ;D

Although in defence of my Omega it's behaved now for the last 3(?) years but it did break down 3 or 4 times in the first few weeks of ownership DIS & Crank sensor! >:( It left SWMBO stranded in the buisiest part of the town's by-pass on a Saturday afternoon - how pleased was she?! ::)
The Senator though never broke down or left me stranded in 6 years of owning it - hot starting problems due to crappy wiring to starter had been sorted.

Ahhhh but the senny that tunnie is thrasing around europe is very muoh an unknown book as he has only just purchased it,Hope it does not give him any bother. :) :)

Have you tried retrieving the settings from your phone network?

He has had it for quite a while, can't remember when he got it, but I know that he had it in February.
-
I might be wrong but did he not buy a red one just recently,he had gold senny at the lakes, held together with gaffer tape and string.
-
Yep, I am talking about the Gold one. Did not know he got a red one. Wonder what caused the replacement?

The account doesn't allow MMS. GPRS yes, MMS, no.

Tunnie only has the Silver Senny, never had any other. Got it around Jan/Feb. Should be OK tbh, the car is basically sound, and both of us have spent considerable time sweating blood and tears under it.
-
90mph blast? Pah...
Me and Mark did 120mph + blasts for hundreds of miles at a time in our old Senny and it never once gave us a problem (aside of the rally stage up a mountain!)
It will be fine, I would have complete faith in one of them across Europe. :)

120mph? In Tunnie's Senny? That would shake all the rust off ;D

You'll have to change the title though...how about... "The amazing adventures of Euro Tunnie" :-?

He can always send the pictures to my phone....

Due to naff weather in Belgium, Tunnie has moved on to Frankfurt. Sounds like he has been giving the Senny a good blast down the autobahns :o

Could have sworn he was driving a red one when we had the Brackley cambelt parties :-/

He had a green one....to start with, but that was the mold growing on it ;D

Nothing at that point, was still doing my rocker gaskets, was there a red sky that night? Or maybe it's your street lights? :-/ Didn't finish til well after dark ::)

Got a message from Tunnie yesterday, he has made it to Switzerland, and its 32C there. Senny coping well with heat and high speeds on the autobahns to get there.
He's off into the Alps today...
-
Glad to hear he's doing OK and the Senny is
behaving holding together.
He doesn't seem to be very well connected. Has his wiring suffered some kind of failure? ::)

First pic.....the Senator in Switzerland.....

Although judging by the lack of people and the way the doors open....perhaps his wiring caught fire....

Fancy going off....leaving his door open......and his lights on....thats just asking for trouble ;D :D

Bet he's broken down,but wont admit it. ;D ;D ;D ;D

We all know how Tunnie drives.....does that mean the senny has been pushed to 50mph ;D :D

Not necessarily. Apparently, I'm a bad influence on him according to his mum.... ....and the other day he was giving my MV6 some large at a shade under 140mph on our private track :-?

He wouldn't believe me - he thought he would be able to pick up an open wifi in any street....

I said pretty much the same when I saw him. Glad to see a pic and that he and the senny are getting on OK.

And did he believe you, as he wouldn't believe me. In Europe, consumer wifi is preconfigured to be fairly secure, just as is beginning to happen here.
-
I also told him and that was from experience when we drove around europe, the only Wifi I found was the police station in Bornio....
Anyway, got another picture....

Drove around all day in the alps yesterday, Senny ran fine. Had a hot start problem but fixed that.

Best bet is to pick on major hotel chains......but even then you have to park blooming close!
The other day i was connected to a large hotels network....I was in McD's carpark A4 Heathrow...right next door, parked up against the fence of the Hotel....and even then i kept loosing connection :(
Could find about 1/2 doz of secured networks but only the one unsecured.
Last time i tried actually in Heathrow terminal.....i could get onto an unsecured network.....but it appeared they didnt have a DHCP server on the network, or if they did it wasnt issueing dhcp leases (maybe it had reached its max leases :-/ )....coz i wasnt getting ip addresses so was as much use as a chocolate teapot!

UK has loads of open ones, I think Tunnie was naively thinking the same for Europe. Shutting down DHCP on open wifi is one extra protection layer ;)

But they advertise wifi points.....in fact i could see a sign that indicated a wifi point....bit pointless if they've shutdown the dhcp ::)

Greetings from Switzerland!
Just about to leave the site here and head for Lyon, not going to get a chance to do any of the big passes, have to head to France, the one into Italy is too far off course in the time we have :'(
Senator running well, German roads did a lot of 110 crusing, so far learnt that germans like their diesels, and be manuals, here in Switzerland all the cars seam to be petrol, not diesel. Lots of tunnels, Senny went up some alpine passes no problems, even stop start traffic in a hot german motorwaz did not cause any problems.
Had one hot start issue, but fixed that, just unplugged the big loom connector in the bonnet, and put it back in again.
Think i will be comming back to Switzerland, the women here are just amazing! :o If you know what i mean! ;)
Will send more mms messages from France....
oh btw that aint a bird in the car, thats my mates! ;D ;D
