Unlikelyā¦most of the route is Autoroute and Autobahnā¦mind you the run to the show on Friday is in a 200+ aircooled VW convoyā¦quite a sight. 
This is a video a mate shot on the way to the show in 2005ā¦funnyā¦

That reminds me of when I was an apprentice in Newport South Wales and on traveling back to Southampton we stopped at Leigh Delamare services and had a Burger from the newly opened burger franchise. As I was sat in the back of a VW Beetle itās very hard to get out or open any windows. Any way about 20 miles down the road I am feeling very Tom Dick and the driver wlil not pull over so my mouth is just about out the little quadrant gap you get on the rear window when my guts let go and pebble dash the near side rear wheel arch.
still the driver would not stop unti he reached home where he promptly requested me to clean his car.
Upon which he got told that as he refused to stop itās not my fucking problem do it your self.
by the way vomit air dried onto the rear arch of a VW does not come off easily

Itās the humidity that does it, foreign heat is normally dry heat so you donāt feel it so much.
You have never been to Singapore then
All heat is good regardless of the humidity.
I refuse to work or live anywhere the average temp is less than 26 deg C
Just donāt mention the war, eh?
The air con has packed up
FFS the stupid system has been bellowing out cold air all through the winter - the first time we need it to do its job, it waves the proverbial two fingers at us.
Bastard air con
Bastard building

Oh, thatās alright then.
Rank hath itās privileges, however that is the maximum amount it opensā¦
Itās like enjoying a flypast of a Lancaster bomber is not tacit approval of the blanket bombing of civilian areas in the closing stages of WW2.

You have a window?
in my day we were lucky to look at a wall with no paper on it.
Then the Mexcicans took over making then. I believed they only stopped around 10 years ago or so. But you could buy a brand new old style one over there. Or did I dream that up?
