Webmaster annual holiday report. admin, September 29, 2025September 29, 2025 Well, the “webmaster” (web idiot more like it!) is back from his annual holidays. As usual, he buggered off for a month, much to Vincy’s annoyance. Vincy needed a file for printing some stickers for an autocross and was surprised by the “see ya next month!” answer…. And, in a very surprising move, it was a trip to Germany where instead of turning north in Hamburg (as happened last year), he turned East, then South and finally West…. First thing was exploring shite jobs in Luneburg, literally…. In a nod to German humour, there was Lego Star Wars in a museum to the Hanseatic League….. Ya, it’s a nod to Copernicus. Funny lads I tell ya…. So, some time was spend wandering around Lübeck (ate me body weight in marzipan), Wismar and Rostock (called to the Stasi museum, not a nice experience). There was some “interesting” blockwork spotted on some buildings. After some time wandering around the Baltic Coast, I decided to head south to get some warmth. So, it was towards the Harz Mountains that I pointed the nose of the camper….. So, what was spotted? A crow “gently massaging” the roof of a Golf R. God love the poor detailer who has to correct this.. Something that Damien may like was spotted, an ol’ Golf in daily use… Somehow, I ended up in Wolfenbuttel. The name may ring a bell as it’s the home of Jagermeister! All I can say is that no, I didn’t drink the place dry…. The trip was not without incident however. In sad news, the gas BBQ broke…. So, 2700km was driven, some diesel was burnt and plenty of history and sights were examined. The only question I have afterwards is why cant we get 102 octane fuel at every petrol station like I could in Germany? Travels

Red Mist guide to European Road Trips…..
