We hopped on the autobahn in Hof with the new Renault packed and road ready, we spent some time removing the hood (bonnet) trying to retrofit it to the new car with no success, then finally deciding to strap it to the roof of the production vehicle.We hopped on the autobahn in Hof with the new Renault packed and road ready, and were puled over within 5 minutes our documents checked and cars searched for weapons or drugs. Thank god that no one had made any stupid decisions to bring anything illegal!

Just out of Hof Germany

The entire crew has been driving all thru the night right, now we are at 17 hours continuous driving in shifts. We had rain thru all of Germany and the autobahn wet, cold and dark had us pretty stressed.  The sunshine is a welcome change from the cold and wet weather of Germany, and is definitely lifting everyone’s spirits.

We are heading to Beziers, France to find a restaurant, have a much needed stretch, and plan our attack for the remainder of europe. The cars seem to be doing well, the Suzuki has the smallest gas (petrol) tank and it means frequent fuel stops, we may try to figure out an extra tank for Africa. Even though we are tired , life is good and we have logged some good kilometers.
