Hey Im looking to do something a bit different this summer so count me in, bear in mind tho i know no-one here! lol
What Merc is it?
Im also a maybe mate, if im not going Cancun then i defo want to go with you guys!
Thats good then! Ill be bringing a mate hopefully to help keep costs down and for some company on the long drive! Im Andy by the way (should change that username its kak lol)
Yep me!

Anyone not got a turbo on their cars? Been reading up a bit and if you don't have one you'll lose a lot of power at high altitude! My mates merc is a 1.8 non-turbo! Might struggle to move!
about 1% less per 100 meters apparently, and I think we're going to exceed 2000 meters on the trip
at 2000 meters a 140bhp 1.8 NA will be pushing out around 112bhp!
Lose power at high altitude.!! How does that happen?
Don't worry mate, you've got a turbo, it'll just take you a bit longer to spool up!
In N/A engines the air pressure effects the power of the engine (the less oxygen the less power).
I've got a feeling this is gonna be a trip to remember too
Yeah Ali, the last trip was a blast for sure!!
Its looking positive for this one too! Im sure a fair few will drop out for various reasons, but even half a dozen cars or so would make it a real good weekend.
These trips make driving fun again

Im not sure if im in my car mate.. I think theres quite a few going so i may be piling in with someone else.
Besides, need to get it in for steering rack #2 and a new seat.
I dont know where its at right now mate, but if i find out i'll pm ya
*Update* Kris just text me, its called "Chicago rock cafe"??
Ok chicago rock cafe.. bit of an unusual place to have a fight competition.
Not down my way If it's not the old slappers fighting over some lipstick it's some chav boy getting upset as someone's look at his bird....
Really looking forward to this now...struggling to find a co-pilot at the mo but 3`ish months to go I reakon I`ll talk someone into it? Thinking on the line of fuel-trying to keep up with you `S3 ers` I reakon I might need to stop more frequently-along with MB & the guy in the R32??? ...Be worth it though!!! Need to try and get a decent camera by then too-any ideas??? Mind you if I`m going it solo then I wont be taking many!:icon_thumright: How far in advance do we need to book the tunnel etc
