Hell yea, we are leaving home (my mate and myself) tomorrow morning at 3.30am, hope to get on the track between 5.00pm and 7.00pm (during the trip we will have to stop to Xsport racing to get a carbon boot), and we will relax there until sunday. As soon as the show is finished, we will head to London, and will drink quite a lot heh, but most important, having fun there. Then on monday we will visit the city, have a small go to the pubs and drinking places the night, and then on 5th leaving London and heading Geneva (Switzerland), should be there 8.00pm. And on wednesday, work again.

Not the hardest trip planned : this january we went from Geneva to Grimsby, and then back go Geneva via west London to pick up some parts, in 2 and half days. 1900 miles. We drove I think 16h/24 during these 2 and half days.

Talk about passion.
