sprechen zie deutsche?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Yeah its a cracking resort.

I also snowboard every winter but we normally go somewhere a bit cheaper like Andorra or Bulgaria.

Costs too much to drink in the French resorts.

Well, I'm back in 1 piece!

It took 12 hours to get there, including a 3 hour wait at the Euro tunnel!
Met some nice english lorry driver who showed us some good places for cheap baccy!

When we got there after 6 hours between 90 and 100mph it was quite late, and the only hotel we could find was the most expensive in town :D
My mates boss paid for it anyway haha

We did the delivery in the morning, and the customers were really nice, after doing the delivery they asked us to stay for lunch and beer, then gave us wine and a good sized tip!

After that, back up the Autobahn for another 6-9 hours... got home at about midnight last night!

and while I've been away the pug 106 has eaten another gearbox :(

We tried to but it was pissing down with rain and they closed the track about 30 mins before we got there!
