Hey, international racing star, Jean Tolleé... I wanna know who's doing the scud so I can get us all in the same session (hopefully!). So that's me and you so far... anyone else want to do it, then let me know ASAP.
Lee, I'm doing a parade a day so far. Although there are a couple of parades a day I think... so *might* be the same one, might not.
Bob

Who said this John? Have you made an attempt to work out how far it *actually* is??? 
I know the AutoBahn is fast... But for it to take an hour.... You need to consistantly average 330MPH. Best bring your Veyron mate!

Oops! 
That's not good!
I'm confusing Nürburg and Nuremberg!
It's actually 1 hour 37 away... (116km).
I am a ****
Over and out.

So 19 weeks to go!! Thought I'd share the jobs to do list before we go.
1. Fit new radiator
2. Fit new water pump
3. Fit new handbrake adusters
4. Respray and fit new passenger door
5. Repair and spray bottom edge of rear door
6. Fabricate holder for sat nav system
7. Repair small hole in scuttle (above 60mph the wind makes a high pitch squeal in through the windscreen..... not too annoying!!!)
8. Oil change and service
Should make a start with one week left to go
What have you guys got to do?? *waits for Bobs list the size of a small country* |

Reckon it's going to be great.  Wish I was coming with you, but I can't.  This is already a big topic - you've all got 4 months to go yet

4 months to go??? My spreadsheet says I am 23 days in arrears on progress on the P4 ALREADY!
Paul - some people just aren't willing to make an effort!
There is space at the villa for you if you change your mind or circumstances.
