No breakdowns! Sylvester was inspected and it seems that he's in quite a good condition.
Sutjeska
ah so jim went all that way to find his long lost twin brother then

Ah, Komrades! It is good here for I am in the land of plenty! (well, plenty of panda fans )
Setjeska tells me that I paid way to much for this hotel the other night...
£31... Including breakfast and garaged parking. Mmm... I'd call that a bargain lol
Reminds me of driving to Istanbul, hehe
Would come in handy to have one of em for when there are 2 lorries and a car coming at you all on your side of the road. Thankfully the panda is much more nimble than that beast when it comes to getting out of the way of the Polish when they're in a hurry (or have a death wish, it's hard to tell)
We got a little bit of snow...
The intercontinental missiles where probably hidden behind the trees to the left...
But then Sutjeska turned up and lead me away for some tea and really warming dinner and then to his machanic...
Were as he has said the verdict was good and that we are safe to return home in our new baby
Did get quite a crowd, that's Michael (who works for the local television station and they want to cover the arctic run in April) with the machanic and Setjeska is in there somewhere too. There was a second mechanic there somewhere too but maybe fred was talking to him. Couple of jobs need done, the exhaust is deffinatly blowing but it's not serious so shouldn't fall off till I get at least to kent. Did need some gearbox oil but it seems to be a slow leak so we'll stay on top of that
Even thou it is very cold I still managed to find a huge erection....
Quite a shaft that pole has.....
So we all found some new friends this morning
Andrew gave up his panda to try a RHD one in Warsaw traffic which seemed like a good idea at the time. I joked with him that there a 5 out of six chance that he'd find a gear that will make us go forward, hehe....
(he did very very well for not having been on that side before)
So it was time to leave Warsaw until April when we return with Sylvia
So we're in another really expensive hotel tonight... I blew the budget and spent £40 quid on this one! Really can't recommend Poland enough as a holiday destination. The old towns are just every bit as nice as Prague, the exhange rate makes the euro look like it's made of solid gold and the people couldn't be nicer. Ok, I might of got a little bit of special treatment from the panda fans but even the folk who work in the garages are so nice when some stupid foriginer comes in and can't work the pumps or the car wash. Sutjeska has a folder of all the panda club holidays and I've said to Alan that we're going to go on the one next year as the panda adventure cause it looked so much fun just messing about with the cars and some tents thou I have to say that there really isn't much 'Health & Safety' over here but that in my opinion is a great thing!
Catch you all soon (as I've a hell of a lot of driving to do!)

Wow Jim
Great to hear about your travels - The new addition looks like a great buy
Hope you get home OK

Jim, 40 pounds for a night? Way, way toooooooo... much
And, what you mean with this "Health and Safety"? Old uranium mines are very good for health, one feels much stronger after a couple of hours spent there inhaling "radonium" gas And you don't need a torch after such session
And some more photos:

Just a little update before bed...
Stopped off in Sandomierz at the advice of Sutjeska and found this little tourest trap of a hotel which to be honest is quite nice. Anyway, got a shower and then popped a few posts online before heading out for dinner...
Wow!
Sylvester is a little scared and Fred said that he's staying in the room tonight!
It's amazing out there. It's like a 1940's spy movie!
(thats the 'Third Man' with Orson Wells)
Anyway, was wondering about taking photos of the rather foggy town square when two of the local police came over. Think they were just bored and we got chatting about why I was in Poland and my my FIAT ((I was wearing my FIAT jacket but it had blown over so it said FAT in stead but they seemed to know what I was on about and thought FAT was more approiate for me) addiction. It got a bit confusing so they think that the panda parked outside the hotel is the world travelling Sylvia off on another mission to the unknown but that's good as they said they were on till 7 and they'd look after it all night, LOL
So dinner was steak stuffed with mushrooms as I decided against the steak stuffed with lard. Well I think thats what she said. It was the bit were I asked 'do you have wine' she said 'yes' and I asked what type and she said 'red' that made me think that there was maybe a language barrier, lol
The 'red' wine was very nice thou, hic!
(and it only came to 12 quid all in!)
