Default Chilled's Grand Tour of Western Europe



me and the missus just got back from 3000 odd miles of fun around Europe which included:

7 countries
23 ish border crossings ( I lost count)
3000 miles
2(technically 3) Grand Prix tracks
9 laps of the Nordschlief
6 Alpine col's (including the highest col in Europe, 2802m)
237kph max confirmed speed on the Autobahn (GPS device confirmed)
lots of squeaking from the brakes

Photo's will be put up tomorrow and for the rest of the week as I've taken loads. But there will be included a poor quality video of me going through the tunnel in VTEC in Monaco. And a route map too.

Big to Blurter, you know why. And thanks to The Boy Wonder for some reassurance when my brakes started to sound really unhealthy: 9 laps (including a 9:02) of the 'ring will do that... schoolboy error of pad use duly noted.

Andy, BenH and Me outside the Berghotel Hohe-acht. We were the only people staying there for two nights. Great to meet them, shame we had to get back.
