    There is apparently only one person out of 60 dumb enough to do the trip in an old car!

    It is too bad that you are the only classic Ferrari.

    I know it was discussed before, but what was the ear buds etc you are using?

    Hi Mark. Fantastic thread and big up for taking your car on the full run from London!

    I will join with my F40 in Milan on Friday. Which hotel are you staying at tomorrow in Zurich? Would love to watch all the cars arriving in the city. There should be 300+ cars from N. europe converging on Zurich tomorrow afternoon. It will be an amazing sight.

    All the best for the rest of the run and look forward to seeing you at the rally.

    Michael

    But every few hundred meters a RADAR, both stationed ones and many mobiles (speed guns). Seriously. This afternoon alone I passed four between my town and the city of Zurich. Watch out!

    The rally has been really fun so far. Have done around 1,100 km since getting in the car Tuesday evening. Yesterday driving through France and Switzerland was great.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login There were some epic country roads on way from Reims to Zurich. When this picture was taken I hadn't seen another car for about 10 minutes and there was no cellphone reception. I went from enjoying the drive to thinking that if I broke down I would be in trouble!

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login So the car has been running beaufully, but yesterday morning I could tell it wasn't running right so I pulled over and checked the engine. I had fouled 2 plugs. It was my fault I left the car idling in the car park in the cold. Quickly swapped out 2 plugs and engine was back to purring again. I'm not much of a mechanic so I was quite proud of myself to be honest for changing the plugs! Here is the location of the plug change.
