Evening everybody, just a quick few lines about my excellent trip yesterday to germany I had with my 4year old son.
We left at 3am uk time on the shuttle had a clear run to Brussels where we hit traffic but ploughed through,arrived at Frankfurt at around 11:30. Wow there where some nice new cars there, the new mercedes b class and c class coupe looked fantatic, as did the glk.we saw a couple of veyrons, a few ferraris, and the new panda. I sat in it and it feels very similar to the current model, but a bit more grown up. It seamed bigger maybe fiat have tried moving it up a class.
My lad loved climbing over the insides the cars, often help by the friendly staff who where very chatty and polite towards him.(only saw1other small child)
So after about 3-4 hours we left frankfurt and headed for home but took a very slight but nessasary detour to nurburg, And to nordschleife,unfortunately that was closed for private track time so we went to the nurburgring instead and paid the €38 for twenty minutes of track time on the grand prix circuit. We had a excellent time and put in a few fast laps, most importantly my lad loved it. Then we left for home, getting my ring sticker first, arriving at the shuttle just in time for the 23:50 that I'd booked us on. Got in around midnight put him to bed then printed off some pics for his show and tell that he did at school today. All of his teachers and little mates where very excited to heard his stories.
A great day out in my excellent little 100hp.
A few stats. Top speed via speedo hd on iPhone 4 was 127mph. Over 886.5 miles I averaged 36.4mpg @59 mph average and total drive time was 15 hrs dead.
I think that the cars front pads are now spent.
How do I put pictures up.easy way please.
