I'm guessing.... brakes? After the stage 2 and 60K km I notice more and more the stopping power is borderline acceptable. Noticed even more after a I had test-drive on the new Leon Cupra 280  :p

Arrived without incident!

 

Where are you staying, near to the Ring or in the Mosel Valley?

Take care everyone, just heard from my mate that a Ford Mustang Cabrio has been on it's roof, left about 300 metres of an oil spill and Armco replacement required, ambulance in attendance however luckily the driver walked away from it!

 

Someone having a very expensive day!  

Lindner park near the ring, nice houses, designed for people like us!

right, firstly arrived home safe! lol..... after all the "unreliable" stuff we have on here, mine was the only car that went that didn't have cause for the bonnet to be opened! :p

 

Phantom performed very well, comfortable cruiser, loads of space for three people and luggage, great on track (but slow compared to most of the cars attending! ) over 40 mpg, even driving fast and with all the mountains! (and que's , we missed our ferry home! :( )

 

here is me playing with the locals

 

 

blurry picture, but i passed 50,000 miles on the way home! (that 37 mpg , included sustained high speed in an attempt to get our ferry (that failed :( )
