Plod, I see an opportunity for you to become the forum's mystery shopper here - get yerself down there for a test car wash & brekkie & report back on quality & opening hours. :cheesy:

I've had it suggested we ask if we are allowed a BBQ if we promise to clean up after ourselves??

I have sent the request via email, but please be aware i asked something similar re power and water for the parking area and didnt get an answer, if somebody is willing to give the man a call pm me and i will send you his phone number, sadly im a bit busy today as im getting stuff ready for the trip, we set off 6 am in the morning to Berlin.

I will have my netbook with me on the trip so will be keeping intouch with the forum but by monday which will be the next time a phonecall could be made then i will be on a rollercoaster somewhere in Holland with the family.

Don't need a clutch! Man up, start it in gear and change without the clutch ;)

I've managed it in a 205 1.9xud van before

Anyway, I think we're back on, as bit the bullet and spoke with my mate who's organising bits and guy to fit the clutch on monday - parts availability dependent

Just giveusa shout if you run into any hitches, would be terrible for you not to go because of something something trivial, I'm not sure if my 406 will survive into 2012 at this rate...

Less than a week now guys :D

Can't wait to take the car for a good run, not sure weather to change the oil or not. It's only 2k old but it's black already :roll:
