We finally made it back

My car made it there and back "without" breaking down

Were back

Arrived there, sat morning in a decent convoy from the uk, got to the show about half 4am after getting flagged down and pulled by the police standing in the middle of the road to breathalise us, then to the hotel for an hours sleep back to the show to clean and move cars into position.

The crazy Dutch police chasing after us "the wrong way" up the motorway while another traffic car chased us ourside, lucily slowed down and they didnt stop us just stuck back then

Hundreds of pics to come tonight.

ouch. but i bet the average temperature wasnt 28degrees, and a peak of 46degrees. cant beat Toyota reliability. even at 46 ambient the car chugged along at 120kmh for a good few hours with a car full to the top with gear, temp gauge didnt even budge above normal
