Quote of the night, upon hearing Italian chicks asking numerous rally members to "come party":

"that almost never happens"

Suffix to say, they wanted money for their services...one dose of crabs gratzi!

Day 3 and the Volvo is suffering with a brake failure...evidently my team mates are suffering too!

Top Gun: Maverick

Hi y'all
We cam check in again now we are back in the EU and don't have to pay ridiculous Swiss data charges!
On leaving Thun this morning we discovered one of our rear brakes is not working (see pic) tell sign being the rusty disc. Despite this we decided to take the very challenging route over 5 mountain passes including the spectacular Grand Bernardino & the highest paved road in the alps on the Col d'Iseran! The Honda Prelude F14 Tomcat is performing well and we have not had any international incidents.......yet!
See y'all soon

We've only flamin made it to the top!

Let's just hope we make it on the way down! C'mon brakes do your job so Graham doesn't have to soil his second pair of pants!

Blues Brothers Pit Stop

Well, Elwood has completed his stint - navigating us through the mountain passes - reversing on winding roads and missing turns.  We managed to get the cow and waterfall eventually - heading towards San Bernardino Pass  looking for gold

Elwood looks out over the Swiss Alps

Arrived in Lille

Arrived in Lille - all great and wonderous

Over heating brakes bring us down in flames!

> Brakes are over heated already without a sniff off the mountain pass!

Big Thank You to the General Lee!

A massive thanks to the General Lee! The Wong Kei Express bit the dust last night just south of the Swiss border. These guys helped tow us 60 Km to our hotel arriving at 4 AM! It was an epic voyage. These guys surely deserve bonus points for their efforts!

Flamin idiots into the Alps!

Heading for our first mountain pass of the day! Will the limo make it!

Our Lady in the mountains
