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!
My mates trying to organise some more customers in Germany so we can go again and have a go at Nurburgring

The Nordschleife is officially closed until March 10th 2012 for annual repair work and has been since Friday, the only bit open is the GP track at €40 per lap compared to €26 per lap of the Nordschleife.

There were quite a few cars there... ferraris, lambos, porsches, etc
