Klein at the wheel through the Pyrenees!


Team Vixen are within 60kms of San Sebastian! Seriously looking forward to arriving and sampling the local beverage! Today has been a long one - Dan and I had a few technical hiccups this morning, which caused some delay. When we finally got going, we headed South from the Bordeaux region into the Mountains. The electrics have finally stopped delaying us!
Klein has done a top job behind the wheel today. I'm sure he's been looking for buoys and mooring points whilst adapting to "on road" as opposed to "at sea"! Spectacular moments include a Scandinavian flick into the town of Mont De Marson, as well as a full 70 kilometres journey with the handbrake on! As we flew down the A road, the smoke and smell pouring from the car had us convinced we were blowing up, however the tell tale came when we stopped for a drink break - two rear pads worth of brake dust all over the rear wheels!! We now have to put Vixen into 3rd when parked in order to stop her rolling off. This isn't Herby The Movie after all!!
Unc' John - the answer to your question is 1.22. Please multiply by 100!
Frank The Tank - cheers for your post.
Over and Out, "Picks"
