Same clothes, different day
We're in Prague at the moment. Driving across Germany is never very exciting at the best of times so here are the potted highlights:
Autobahn's do have speed limits - Ali thinks he got a speeding ticket the day before yesterday somewhere outside Duisburg (where there was a distinct lack of pink pomphlets!). We'll see what turns up in the post when we get home...
We towed a broken down VW golf up a steep hill (German engineering? - you can keep it!) for a nice young couple on their holidays.
The exhaust is cracked and is leaking fumes into the cab. It's ok on the motorway where we can happily sit at our excellent top speed of 50mph and keep the windows fully open.
The viscous fan (don't ask) is causing a few overheating problems around town, but it's nothing she can't handle.
We're miles behind the official rally. We saw a couple in a layby in Germany at 2am on Sunday morning but since then nothing. We arrived in Prague a day late,
so our chances of catching up are ebbing away.
Richard forgot the logbook document for the car so we'll be stuck at the Ukraine border. We're waiting for a new copy to turn up in the UK and then hope we can get it emailed over and we'll forge a copy in Kinkos in Vienna or Budapest. Still plenty of time before we have to get to the Russian border.
Finally, the lights keep flicking on and off, so we think avoiding driving at night might be best.
Until next time
Over and out. R and A
