the officer had to call someone to find the right offence, i think he just picked one from the book. it was not for towing altho he told me it was the reason.
he said if it where braked it would haven been 25 euro plus "Jonny foreigner fee" unbraked was € 80 total € 105. on the spot. its only money

thanks for the confidence and where have you been this weekend? anny sunburn, tunnel, great party, war-storeys, good friends, silly dress?
the van was very helpful. and warm.
you better be there. or i l come n get you

I f***ing love rhubarb

I have always found police to be very reasonable, looks like this one is an exception pulling someone then having to hunt for a reason to take their money - there are always a few bad apples, maybe he isn't getting any 
Never really understood laws that say you cant do something but if you hand over cash it is OK to carry on your journey

I had an operation on my foot a few months ago and there is no way I could have driven the buggy all that way - really disappointed and I have a good stock of Hawaiian shirts so would have been a cheap weekend. Looks like the usual great IBW although I do disapprove of drinking alcohol to excess as you know.
I will be there next year.

I love Rhubarb as well, just tried a recipe you might like
           1 litre vodka
           Sugar
           Rhubarb
Put them in a jar, leave for a month stirring ocassionally
Strain then drink as a refreshing cordial - I will let you know how it turns out 

See you next year
Dave

Vanessa great images to share the experience with us all, thank you.

You say you laughed a lot. So the humour was toned down and polite, and you kept away from Lee ?

I did wonder what Allan was doing in the ultra smart kitchen - some form of cookery demonstration like Dave's Rhubard receipe for rocket fuel ?! 

Rolled in at 10 past 1 after completing over 800 trouble free miles giving me time to assist a few others, thanks to our IBW virgins Hudge and Chris for loan of a tow rope and assorted spares.
Our other Virgins also enjoyed it and I think are booking for Osnabruck next year.
Will put some photos and perhaps videos up ay a later date if they are deemed suitable for general viewing after sorting them out.

a good photo set there Vanessa pity you had to leave us.

One last BIG THANKS to all involved just a shame that DnD's problems were outside the roadside bodging ( semi permanent repair that stays until it breaks)

What another FAB weekend!!! old faithful got me there an back again (although I did run out of petrols on the last leg)...Grrrr. As Hugh said...' some great images ' but there are many even I would not post! These will be shared on a one to one basis at meets!! Hahaha. Thanks to all that made it such a cool weekend and so nice to meet new friends..... Krug, Chris and Huge. Big shout out again to Rubens for his support and just being a true mate to us Brits.
