Start: Halle/Saale Day Goal: Wolfsburg Todays driven distance: 340km Break downs: 0, but various noises thanks to romantic but not youngtimer friendly cobblestone streets… Autobahn: yes, part of todays Roadbook Creme21 is a rally established in Oldenburg. Therefore, most rally participants are from the north and participating repeatedly year after year. We learnt last nightContinue reading “Rally #6_day2”

Good morning, Chemnitz! Last time we are using a navigation (to find the rally start. Lol).

New tires. New break pads (hubby’s wondering who needs them when racing…). New orange touch & best weather forecast. Aperoli is ready and so are we. Ready for our next German rally. Even race hubby (2 speeding tickets within 4 weeks) made it on board after testing Covid negative again. Recovered. Let’s go! 🚩 StartContinue reading “Rally #6_start 🏁”

Aperoli is ready… and we have 14 days left until rally start. That is the first time and not so much “last minute racing” after all. On the other side… you never know. Breaks are a bit squeaky… Today we made a wee Sunday drive through the beautiful Swabian vineyards. Beautiful weather. Wonderful scenery. AContinue reading “Rally #6 – 14 days to go”

Ready for the next rally. Soon. Stay tuned!

Last Minute cancellation. Instead we watched the rally pass our little town. Counting on the Bosch Boxberg Classic 2024 ✌🏻

Cooler replaced ✅ Engine stabilizer fixed ✅ While doing that… the brake lines broke (as expected)… and fixed again ✅ Tires changed to summer (until new ones arrive) ✅ Just made more mess than planned… also that seems normal. Aperoli seems in good shape for now. Ready for rallying. At least Aperoli is. Driver mayContinue reading “Ready for Rally #5”

Aperoli was brought back to Germany and arrived today. Yeah! What a nice surprise, especially because ADAC couldn’t give any update since we have left Scotland about 3 weeks ago. Just in time: the new cooler arrived today as well. Getting ready for the next challenge: replacing cooler, fixing engine bolt and getting new tires,Continue reading “Aperoli back home 🇩🇪”

Aperoli made it into the Scottish news! yeah! “More than 50 cars were entered into the Rotary Club of East Sutherland’s fundraising classic car tour last Saturday, May 20. The majority of the participants came from the north of Scotland, but there were entries from as far south as Kent and Wiltshire. This year MichaelContinue reading “Sutherland Classic Car Tour Scotland”

We arrived at The Isle Of Skye. Wow! Getting there isn’t easy — many hours of driving on an assortment of roads, including small two-lane roads in the Highlands. But it’s worth every minute of driving to get there. Skye is wild and romantic and beautiful. It’s steeped in history. It’s isolated yet not old-fashioned.Continue reading “Aperoli on tour #2023 – stop #4 & the end”
