Back  

Did just under 1,000 miles in 4 days, run down was busy, got stuck in traffic for 2 hours.

Thanks must go to Kevin Wood for his recommendation of a tent, we arrived in pitch black, nackered, never put up the tent before, was up in 50 mins.

Snowboarding was great, pictures to follow tommorow, but its 4 times the length of the Milton Keynes run, so could really get some fast sweeping turns in. Has a pub half way down!  

Huge place, propper chair lift, so could stay in there all day without getting leg burn from the poma lift.

Car ran fine in Europe, fully loaded, 3 adults, full of snowboarding gear, campaing gear, tent, gas stove, lights, boot was jam packed, as was the spare seat.

I was really expecting it to struggle, having taken a 3.0 Senator around Europe last time, i thought the 2.2 with the weight would really have trouble, but it pulled suprisingly well, i treated it to a tank of the good stuff (BP Ultimate) sat at 80 all day long, easily went up to 100 on some fast sections.

Got a lucky break, about 10 miles from home, i think a spark plug has let go. Stopped at some lights after 2 hours of 90mph crusin, and the idle was REALLY rough, pulling away was rough too and really down on power. So will post up about that in Gen Help.

But other than that, good trip, and car did me well.

What's it like snowboarding with clogs on?

Nothing wrong with having big feet    

I actually had to get a "wide" board so my feet would fit, means the board is harder to turn, and not as fast.

Cause i weigh nothing as well, means people with more "ballast" go faster!

You should have gone with the dog idea then.

Back Thanks must go to Kevin Wood for his recommendation of a tent, we arrived in pitch black, nackered, never put up the tent before, was up in 50 mins.

 

Hope that included inflating airbeds, setting up cooker and making a pot of tea, sitting around drinking it for 45 mins...

If it has to go that is where you want it to after travelling over / around a bit of Europe!!  That IS lucky!!

Glad you had such a good trip Tunnie!!

I guess I will see you shortly then, wanting to know if its sensor, mechanical, or HT related....

[TheBoy]

And don't be too long - its Tuesday chip night, and I could eat a scabby horse.....

[tunnie]

sorry got held up at work, will have to be tomorrow now.

One of the reports i coded, broke  

The USA CEO was over too, so had to fix it.

RE: Traffic, yup, Brussels ring road, the M25 of Europe maybe?

Comming back was fine, must time it better next time.

Thanks all
