Hey, alot of the lads off sax-p went there this year and one of the guys but together a really good vid of basically the whole journey, its 103mb but very quick download takes about 4 - 5 mins, i know were not saxo fans here but its more an insight into something maybe corsasport may think of doing in the future

Also how fucking slow were they going to get there

I reckon I could get to the ring well quick... 110 mph on the autobahn (wow)

I'd of been well over 140 .

It's a common misconception that the autobahns are limitless, but there are only an ever decreasing few stretches where this is actually true.

So one guy has a leaky fuel tank, the other guy can't do more than 70 because of his shafts and a third can't do more than 80 in case his carbon bonnet pops up

Nicely prepared convoy there then

Hmmmmm, thank you for your comments, was miffed when I saw hits coming from here

That video took a long time to make, and I still have about 2 1/2 hours of footage to go through!

As for the problems, serious bit of bad luck, my VTS has 92k on the clock (W reg) and touchwood, no serious probs. Just had the original driveshafts replaced, and the radiator - not bad for a 7 year old!

Thanks for the comments....off to the next site now

Its a great job Mike, interesting viewing. I just couldn't help thinking that it was a bit risky taking cars there with those problems. Looks like an excellent road trip though. I would like have a journey by this forum but don't want anyone coming to harm or being stranded miles from home!

Carbon bonnett will lift up, but over 90 it shuts itself through wind pressure!
