Well done Chris. I was purposely keeping quiet on this one as when I did mine they came out and went in a doddle! Didn’t want to say so and seem a smart arrrr5e. I had the putty and replaced it with the stuff from Matt.

Is that a Lomax? Based on 2CV running gear and chassis.

I do hope the Audi is on jacks on one side and that is not your triple height lift listing already 🤣

Nightmare! Just make sure anything you stuff down there to retrieve it doesn’t have a chance to fall off or get stuck! I have images of a fishing hook coming off your endoscope and dropping into the crank case. Stephens sucking solution sounds best to me!

Thanks all. Will check some stuff out and let you know what gets decided. Had been heading to Lucerne as wanted to do a detour on the Klausenstrasse but maybe the passenger wouldn’t appreciate it 😋

Afraid it is a BMW 3 series estate rather than an IB 😞

We are off to Tuscany again for the summer hols and whilst usually I drive down and back finding nice driving roads to make a road trip of it and the family flys down to Pisa and I pick them up, this year I have convinced them to make more of a holiday of it and fly down but take 5 days driving back as a family. We have two nights sorted on lake Como and then plan to head into Switzerland and then home breaking the Switzerland to Calais trip into two days (up to approx 400 miles a day). Question to the font of all knowledge that is IB.com is two fold. Firstly where would be good to stop over for a day in the Swiss Alps? Was thinking around Lucerne and the kids want somewhere on a lake that they could swim in. Secondly heading home I cant decided whether to head into France and stop in Troyes which is a nice medieval hill top town (found a nice hotel already) or whether to head to Germany, the Black Forest and back through Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Belgium. No chance of getting them to Stuttgart and I have done that already but maybe that may that route may be more interesting than French autoroute and French tolls! I had a whole list of hotels from RB's planned Eurotrip back in 2020 that never came to pass because of covid but obviously dont have any experience of any of them as regards appealing to the family. Here's hoping someone has some good suggestions. TiA Richard.

No 6 month option??? 😋

What’s even worse is the engine capacity is not to scale 😋

Welcome Chris. You’ll get loads of advise here I’m sure but on the a/c it was an option but it is very rare to find I would say. If you do find one with it then it is unlikely to work to any great extent. If you must have a/c then ClassicRetrofit do a superb electric a/c unit designed specifically for the IB. Have fun finding a good’un.

Oh to have all the time and money in the world ☺️

She seems far from ruf! 😘

Yep. Yearly vehicle tax in the UK. Just like registration fee. Used to be termed “road fund license” but it no longer gets spent on the roads 🙄

I care because it is intriguing. 🤷‍♂️
