Friday morning 6:34 am: Drive to Dunkirque to catch the ferry (which we failed, we had to let the orange BMW behind, and wait for 2 hours to get him the next ferry ) The Busraser crew was allready in: Driving in the UK: setting up camp, bbq time! Campsite: The result of our spraygazebo: Sadly, I haven't got pics from it when we did it, but I know loads of others did! ;D Few highlights for me from the show: After the show ended, we broke up camp and went to find a place to stay overnight, after an hour drive we stopped in Kidlington (i believe... ) and camped there. Drove home the next day and dropping Zep off in Brugge for his Euro trip ;D what a great weekend it was, i'm still sitting here, smiling about what was going on last weekend! And another sorry for the guys we woke up/kept awake saturday evening I believe coggers came to say it was about time to shut up, and then I realised it was 4am allready When we were nearly at home, the distance we drove was close to 1400km the rest of my pics can be found here: www.uwhost4.net/~hachi/RR08/

I've seen a bunch of people overhauling a complete wreck in 60 minutes on TV, so why can't I do it in 3 weeks?

Great to meet you guys and talk plums ;D Glad I saw the alloys, patiently awaiting the other 2 to show up at the right price. Excellent work on the roof - Thorsten was mightily impressed his bus ad inspired something other than laughter (joking Thorsten mate) Will hopefully be seeing you in the Netherlands soon. John W
