last call for joy riders

[symon]

Hi Everybody,

What a great week ! Up & down classic mountain passes, in & out of Switzerland, Italy & France, wonderful food & most important of all great company. Unfortunately Auke from Holland had a problem with a driveshaft, but he caught up with us in a hire car. Hopefully I´ll have time before the weekend to download a few photos.

Well I’ll uploaded some 54 pictures of the trip. For myself I drove about 4200km in eight days. Spend a total of €354 on gas and run at 1 to 12,5 km the whole trip, amazing is it not?

I hope the video, live material; will give you a real good impression of what we did. Specially running uphill the "Col de Felines".

Hell yeah! That looks like a great drive. As others here in the States, I could not make it. :tapemouth Maybe if I was in Germany! (Rein Main or Ramstien) I would love to drift downhill on it. Have fun and take lots of photos!

Just curious...Did everyone speak english?

[Z-point]

At the end, Yes! Seriously we spoke English, German, Dutch mixed up.

Rainer speaks German, Dutch and English; Symon speaks Spanish, English and a little bit French and Dutch, and I speak German, English and a little bit Spanish for Elena! :classic: And Auke also speaks Dutch and German and English. So there wasn’t any problem about understand each other.

[symon]

Hi everybody,

Yes there wasn´t too many problems in understanding each other. The only problems we had were reading the maps, finding mountain passes still closed because of snow & trying to make sense of the menus.

A really great trip. We spoke about organising a similar trip for 2005. When we´ve finalised the details we´ll publish the details.

[germanz]

Yes indeed it was a really joy ride.

And the language was no problems at all.

We did ton's of jokes about the differnt nationalities. Realy funny .

Right now it's quite hot here in germany, so it will takes some more time to sort out all the pictures and videos.

My suspension was a bit too hard and low for this ride, and it took 3600km to find out, that the springs between front and rear were swapped.

Cheers Rainer
