Re: IMM 2010
Now that MTM is over, it's time to concentrate on next week's Mini journey.
Weather forecast for Neumarkt isn't too shabby either.

Re: IMM 2010
Keith, don't forget a belt to hold up Billy's trousers while he's working on your engine.
You also omitted the Bottle Opener for the beer for when you are waiting for the ADAC to turn up.

Re: IMM 2010
Hi all.
Gavin Donnelly here. Myself and Frank are going via Rosslare to Cherbourg next Tuesday (15.00).
Anyone else going this way? Has anyone set a day for the Nuerburgring?
Thanks
Gavin

Re: IMM 2010
I spoke to Lynchie this morning and he is probably bringing an E-Class Merc with the family. I suggested a Mini with a roofbox. There's loads of space in the Mini if you put the kids in the box.

Re: IMM 2010
I have every faith in Keith's car. I'd be worried that the Turbo peaked too soon.

Re: IMM 2010
Gavin,
I am not sure if your minis are MPI, if so there is a trade stand ALLBRIT attending and they will plug in and test your ECU for free, you just book a time with them.
I got it done in Holland IMM 2008. Its worth it.

Re: IMM 2010
A friend in Germany has sent me the following traffic news:
"So i drove a lot on the Autobahn and I have unfortunally so bad news.
There are some major constructions sites. The main Probleme is the Part
of A3 between Frankfurt and Wurzburg (=Würzburg). They will extent the
Autobahn form 2 lines to 3 lines per Directions. I drove this part
four times in the last 3 days and I had no traffic jam. But I also heard
in the radio about 36km traffic jams in this part."

Brekkie at the Topaz at Dublin docks on Wednesday morning at 7.15am? The food on the ferry costs a fortune.
