It covers the 3rd party. It doesn't cover you, and if the 3rd party claims then your insurer comes after you.

What tablet?

It might be the word 'paleo'. That can look incredibly wrong if you skim read the text...

I really, really read that wrong the first time.

Trouble is, he's exactly right. As much as I love Webber, his mindset is exactly as Marko calls it.

Stopping smoking is easy. Just don't buy them. 'Tis all I did. /6 years smoke free

They have to stay trading normally, that's the problem. If they suddenly stopped issuing vouchers because they wanted to then that's fine, but if it's because they're about to go pop then they can't. It's all about insider information basically as I understand it, and it's a stupid rule that protects the people who have a vested interest in the company but not the people the company actually deals with, both suppliers and customers.

They have to do that. It's the law.

You thinking that the insurer is really underselling the risk on it?

Unfortunately time is against me. I'm leaving on a Thursday, and then travelling home the Saturday the weekend after so I have the Sunday to recover before work on Monday. If I could've had a full two weeks off then absolutely, I definitely would've done that.

I'd much rather work out on my own. I know, I'm odd like that. First off, good on you for making the right steps! I found using an app like Calorie Counter Pro (on iOS, probably something similar for Android stuff) helped me keep and eye on what I was eating which was the main thing. As long as calories in are less than calories out, you can't help but lose weight. Whether that's just diet or just exercise or a combo of the two depends on what works for you, but there's no quick fix sadly. Getting the heartrate up on the cardio is very important, a 2 mile walk isn't as helpful as a 2 mile run, as long as you're getting a sweat on then you're definitely in the right place.

And stop writing in italics too, you! Do you even know you're doing it? I've seen a few of your posts like that now, and you know how my OCD is...!

Do us a favour and turn off that irritating message at the bottom of your posts that says "Posted on my HTC X Millionty via Tapatalk", as it's driving the rest of us nuts! :wink: Seriously, is there no way to turn that off? It's as bad as iPhone users leaving the "Sent from my iPhone" at the bottom of their emails.

Yeah, good luck with that in the German courts. If you're doing big speed and something happens in the Fatherland, it's automatically your fault anyway. Maybe the mechanical issue alone isn't a good reason to rent, but driving uninsured on the Ring certainly is. Well, not completely uninsured, but you know what I mean.

Having been stripped of my licence by the gendarmes and fined 750EU for giving it some beans back in 2009, I know all about the French police :wink: There's so much more I want to do on the trip: Milau, Monaco, the Alps, Italy... I had to call it quits somewhere sadly, and it gives me scope to play next year if nothing else.

I had no idea you were gay.

All the jacking points are in the manual.

Nice Audi TT :wink:

So who is this with? And who have you tried? I can't believe that any specialist is more than 50% cheaper than Admiral group.

Either the Impreza or Cayman R. Worst case is I take the MX-5, but that's really a last ditch thing as it would be a horrible grand tourer. I think I'm going to keep the 911 though. I like it too much.

Hence the cheap hotels! That's not a bad shout, if I get the time I think I might well do that, ta.

You ain't kidding, really needs an early start! Got the Eurotunnel booked for 6:50am, so should be out of Calais by 7:30am and on my way. Am probably going to order a GoPro3 and a shedload of SD cards, along with my D90 for more general shots.

God, that car is a bit of a mess! Well spotted on all the naff bits, and the fact you've already said you're binning those horrible heavy wheels makes you a hero in my book!

For Zed specialists I'd go to DMS or Abbey as mentioned, I've used them both in the past and they're both great.

A little while ago I kinda hijacked Wasso's thread regarding my own Euro adventure, so decided that I should probably start my own thread and let him hijcak mine! The premise of the trip is very simple: One man, one car, two countries, ten days. This is the route I'm taking Having seen so many threads on PH that start "I got up this morning and drive to X country for no reason", I decided I wanted a bit of that. I used to live in the Canaries for a while ten years ago so Spain has always been a little bit in my heart since then, but I've never done the mainland. This needed remedying, and so the basic plan was born. My OCD wouldn't really let me just rock up one morning and go for the drive with no plans, and plus that would cost me a fortune, so instead I've planned the route down to pretty much the smallest detail but at least that means I won't waste time or miss bits. The first couple of days are spent in France, travelling down in one loooooong hit and getting some sleep before attacking the Pyrenees over two days. I'll then head into Spain, taking in the coastal route and passing right past the Nou Camp (be rude not to!) on the way to the very southern tip of Spain. From there I'll head back up, following the Portuguese border. I'll then drive the northern coast, coming inland to make the most of the wonderful-looking roads there before diverting once again through the Pyrenees and back up through France. I've tried to compromise between some serious blats and the more dull motorways just to get places, but there should be more than enough fun roads to keep me entertained. Hotels are very much at the lower end of the scale, and I've no idea if they'll be any good or not. I'm not planning on eating like a king, so even if I live out of service stations for the ten days I can stomach that if the roads are good. That said, the odd gourmet feast would be appreciated. I've booked the trip for the end of May/start of June, so a little over 5 months from now. I've a lot to plan between now and then, not least what I'm going to take with me in terms of preparing for any mechanical failure but also snacks in case the service station food is awful! Truth be told I'm a little nervous too, as I've never driven abroad by myself much less round a country I've never been to, but I'm hoping it'll be good fun nevertheless.
