Nice title sounds like a poorly thought through meal !
Really looking forward to this guys & plenty pictures, movies & blog like bickering will indeed follow if you don't mind the mention of the odd Porker.
Three cars going by ferry with a single female co-pilot/navigator /movie director/referee - i.e. mrs jax
More nonsense to follow.

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
Hope you have an awesome time all of you - girls not quite finished their A levels in Guiseleyland so we couldn't make it this year, maybe next time.
Bits of the second half of the route I know quite well as that's about where we end up in our Euro hoons too.
The roads south of Baden Baden are great - but often busy, and the Furka Grimstel Susten pass area is awesome make sure you get your Carnets for Switzerand's Motorways (and Austria too if that features in the route)
Tolls are always fun - we always pull over the right hand side of the booth entrance and make the kids get out and pay - getting close to the off kerb, and kid leaning out of the window didn't seem to work as well (put the ticket somewhere safe everytime too - don't ask!) Walkie Talkies were good too.
Suggest you do try to get to the Reims grandstand just for the obligatory picture - make sure you've got it on your nav though as we flew past the junction off the Motorway and missed out last time!

watching a toll ticket blow out of the window is a rite of passage for any euro hooner & has to be done once to know not to do it againGuiseley wrote:

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
South of Baden Baden could be quiet - we could only get an early factory tour, so we're up very early that morning...
Already got Swiss vignettes, and Wee Bing is briefed about tolls

Really jealous of some of those roads you'll be driving

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
we can't agree at the moment as to what constitutes Day 1
looking forward to it and will certainly keep you updated - meant do do this all the time i had the Zeds but the starts never quite aligned . for me the stand out bit seems to be the route 500 through the Black Forest at 5:30 am to make the Beetle Factory for a tour at 9:30.

The not being able to count was a Scottish only thing
Looking forward to it - first time I will have two of my cars at the same time in the Eurotunnel

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
I guess Full Team day 1 is Thursday. Day 0 is getting to the start point.
Are we actually leaving at 5.30am ? F*ck. I thought we were getting up at 5.30am. I'm not bothered, but WB will not be impressed. Oops
We can't tell him until that evening, ok ?
He'll be fine when we get going though, it will be awesome
