:welcome: back everyone - time for a well earned rest after all that driving.

Hope you all get a good nights rest and look forward to seeing some of your photos of the trip soon.

Well done to Clive, Tracy & Daz for getting the two cars back on the road, Tracy for ordering and collecting the parts from the UPS depot and Clive and Daz for spending a whole day of their holiday repairing them. Thanks to Dan & Iain for their assistance too. :broon:

Nice photos David, stunning views....

...but where are the cars, the roads, the tunnels....

...or was that your contribution to fixing the cars whilst Clive, Tracy & Daz were hard at it. :bust:

Did you only have a fish eye lens with you? Or have you not learnt how to change the settings on that new camera you bought especially for the trip :P

Oh I wish I had a car that looked like this

To answer you Paul, I carefully packed my Nikon DSLR camera and lenses, spare batteries, charger, extra sd cards... and left them at home, doh!

The new video camera has a fixed 170 degree lens...:shrug:
I also had a compact camera that lives in the car, but no charger...So I had to keep resting it so the battery would recover a bit!
