Spoke too soon . Stated off from Border at Venlo and water temp shot up. Hole in radiator parked up in Straelen . There is a truck garage and they open at 7 am . Fingers crossed . We have time on our hands . I am going up to Puttgarden and have ferry booked but guess I can book a later crossing . 😀Keep smiling

You're in Straelen? Fingers crossed they can fix it. Westphalia is not an option.

Still got 100 miles to ferry Mike . We should make the one I booked at Puttgarden. I got under truck this morning found three holes in rad caused by foreign object on road then flicked up and broke viscous coupling blade that went through the rad . Squashed up split rails and with two eggs three bottles of bars leak and a whole packet of chewing gum "used". We are going well . Fingers crossed and looking forward to catching up with all my F J friends . Hope next post will be when we arrive at Copenhagen.

Chewing gum in the rad… "Bubble" will make a picture!

Hmm that's. Not good I was getting stressed changing gears and the main shaft . The new reverse gear was 1 mm wider than original . I could not get my head around it . Then having an audience of spectators some of which were experts on Hewland gear boxes . Anyway just stopped 50 mikes from Copenhagen for the night . The locals all seem miserable

You look very calm on the video.
May be you're in Jutland right now. If there's a country in Europ where good food can be found, Denmark is the one! Not cheap though. You could find kwossonts I guess and French wine. |

50 Mikes from Copenhagen?
Mike Bell Mike Harte Struggling now... Good to see proper repairs still working rather than replacement. Have a great weekend. Look up my friend Nikolaj Mortensen who is running the Sixty Fivers race. Started off as an MG Midget racer of course. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk |

Iain one step ahead as usual. We caught 19.15 from Dover yesterday and overnighted just east of Brussels. Lost 6th gear outside Bremen today - Fiat workshop estimate 3+ days to fix so we carrying on with just 5. Now on campsite near Danish border and have polished off spag bol and a good red. ETA Copenhagen 13.00

Blimey what a tale of woe from you two. And you haven't even started racing yet! Stay safe and hope you all get back OK.
