I don't think there is a need to talk wildly about costs and put people off.


My trip will not cost anything like that :supz: and many other likewise.

Tut tut, you forgot to price in those happy ending lapdances or... the man train massacre skullduggery behind the back of the oyster bar. Whatever floats ya boat.

I just think CSLsuperfan is just trying to make a new Cesil from all all the spare parts he's accumulating:wink:

I tend to say "once you have factored in the cheaper fuel, lower food costs and great exchange rate and after all it is a "business trip" then it's actually saving only for me to go rather than stay here, so with the money I save, you sweetheart can buy a new pair of boots" :-D

I suggested that mine should fly out, but she is coming along to share the drive. It's going to cost me an arm & leg to contine the trip after Salzburg as you should see the hotels she has booked. :bigcry:

Which direction are you going?

We are heading south through Alps to Venice.

Suggested that but she said no so we are heading off to Neustift & surrounding area.

Well done Dean. Enjoy your new car :thumbs::thumbs:

Or Snow Joke part 2!

Was awoken this AM at 5:50 by one of my engineers saying he couldn't get his van off the drive to go to a job in London.
Had a look out of the window and circa 5 inches of snow had fallen overnight!

Has this was the day I was driving 320 miles round trip to collect my CSL I was a little concerned....

So, bite to eat and get the part ex (R32) out of the garage to drive down sarf!

R32 coped excellently with the local snow (motorways were OK) and I was Guildford way by 10:30.

Cesil was clean and dry in the dealers garage. After a bit of paperwork and a coffee I was on my way back home.

I must say, my new steed coped well - a steady 80 or so on the way back and by the time of my return, the roads at home were more RWD friendly!

A quick pressure wash to get rid of the salt and he's tucked up in my garage!

30.2MPG! that was better than the Golf on the way down.

PICS etc to follow and no doubt more questions:beer:
