Sniff... sniff...

And We're Off!

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:55:00 +0000

Using some sort of Back to the Future type time-travel thingy, here we are leaving the start line in Bruges. We're the big yellow one.

Levels of #citrosity drop to dangerously scurvy levels in our transportation solutions. G-DOCU refuels at DVB before carrying @teamgi to LGW

Woeful #Meriva handed back to Dollar. Tho', unlike Avis, they at least gave us some wheels. #lecitron was a better drive, needless to say.

Day 8: Nobody's actually in tears yet, but it's going to be tough to leave Dubrovnik this morning...

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Tue, 26 May 2009 09:11:00 +0000

@teamGI working hard on the nightshoot in Dubrovnik having said goodbye to #lecitron

Day 7 - Holiday in Largs

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Mon, 25 May 2009 17:34:00 +0000

Dubrovnik goes a bit Scottish and let's Andrew finally get wheelspin from the ever so slightly shonky Meriva.

Day 7 - Why Monsieur Le Chiffre...

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Mon, 25 May 2009 17:34:00 +0000

Not a bad view from the dinner table at the final team evening dinner.

Day 7 - Special european country offer

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 25 May 2009 15:00:00 +0000

Team GI benefit unexpectedly from the special "cross 13 and get the
14rh free" deal.

Owing to not really paying attention to the route down to Dubrovnik,
we are surprised to add the tiny sliver of Bosnian coastline to
Scotland, England, Yorkshire, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany,
Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.

Not nearly as much fun as #lecitron

Day 7 - I would drive 2000 miles, and I would drive 2000 more

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 25 May 2009 11:26:00 +0000

Just to be the man who left #lecitron in a scrapyard by the sea in
Spliit

Day 7 - The lemon

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 25 May 2009 10:20:00 +0000

Has gone. Now for #lecitron

Day 7 - End of run review

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Mon, 25 May 2009 08:30:00 +0000

As part of our ongoing performance improvement, we at TeamGI are constantly seeking to enhance, ameliorate and hone our trans-european banger run processes.

Following a rigourous de-brief, we have entered the 360 review phase. Here we see Mark and Andrew continuing the 'twisty road' debate.

Day 7: #lecitron at rest at Hotel Jadran, Split #carparksofeurope. Meanwhile @TeamGI head for breakfast in town...

Day 6 - Split by night

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sun, 24 May 2009 19:30:00 +0000

Team GI have dragged thmselves from the Adriatic and are enjoying a
cool one in the very beautiful square in Split.

Day 6 - View of Finish Line

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sun, 24 May 2009 19:29:00 +0000

Sucata cars visible below. Split, by the sea.

Day 6 - Portobello by night

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sun, 24 May 2009 19:29:00 +0000

Day 6 - Finish Line

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sun, 24 May 2009 17:08:00 +0000

Dougie and Mark cool down.

Don't ask...

Day 6. Four tired but happy guys pose with #lecitron at the beach at Split #carparksofeurope

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sun, 24 May 2009 15:25:00 +0000

Day 6 - Nice out...

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sun, 24 May 2009 13:58:00 +0000

Croatia, 31 and sunny...

Day 6 - It's Adriatic Out There

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sun, 24 May 2009 10:13:00 +0000

With a little bit of trans-continental splendour, TeamGI have crossed Europe from the North Sea to the Adriaric in Croatia. 400km to Split, but, as ever, we're going the long way down.

Climatic comditions in the car? Set nadgers to 'boil' Mr Sulu.

Day 6 - Breakfast at the Ljubljana Resort

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sun, 24 May 2009 07:26:00 +0000

As Andrew continues his campaign to eradicate the sausage from Europe.
Accompanied, oddly, by the sound of a man steam-cleaning the site's
trees and flowers. Which he started doing at 7am.

Ljublljana, 0903CET, @teamgi prepares for the final run to Split (after breakfast of course...)

Day 5 - Onions Galore

scott.m.liddell@gmail.com (Scott Liddell) — Sat, 23 May 2009 19:10:00 +0000

Traditional Bosnian cuisine in Slovenia. Sausages (2 sorts), weird cheese, raw onion and a bread thing. Rather tasty.

Odd that the taxi driver singularly failed to find this place.
