Re: going North
Great weather and the URGENT need for some hollidays
forced us to leave. As i had no further parts (U-joint) to built in, we have to handle an ammount OF STRANGE NOISES. If it wont go anymore, we will have have to ask ADAC (AAA) to pick us up and bring us back home. Will tell you , how far our wounded A will bring us. |

Re: going North
Looks like a great trip. We drove the Romantische Straße about 20 years ago, but didn't get east. Beautiful country and charming villages. Keep us posted!

Re: going North
Thank you for your nice comments, which i really appreciate.
After a nice evening with Motorcycle-friends in Gifhorn, we had a short night. Getting older, means to know that in advance which made me plan a short leg on ourDay 3 . Heading north again, we passed thebig flat area, which was caused by last ice-age. High average speed and no more overeager-all-german-money-hunting-Polizei. |
