Bringing back memories doing a similar trip in the early 90's...but in a 1972 Bedford camper
Driving around the Arc de Triomphe in the old shitter was not something I'll forget in a hurry
Look out Rawdy there could be a new calendar out there competing next year....
No matter what happens they can't take you out in the street and shoot you......

Ran down to the local vw dealer workshop and found the part... i had to get behind the counter and get on their computer system as the only cars they work on are post 2000..
Besides english wasnt their strong point..
Typing vw 1303 in the system quickly revealed they had one rotor in stock.. 8 euro - sorted.
Shot back over to the UK now.. in London, bloody busy as hell here with all the olympic stuff on..
Santa pod for the weekend..
