Moved along a bit now... just after the tower pic our dizzy rotor decided to fry itself so we found ourselves in a paris back ally garage soldering it up as a quick fix..

Bringing back memories doing a similar trip in the early 90's...but in a 1972 Bedford camper :oops: :lol:

Driving around the Arc de Triomphe in the old shitter was not something I'll forget in a hurry :shock:

Look out Rawdy there could be a new calendar out there competing next year....

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..
