Sunday, 31st August 2008 – Bucharest, Day 4 Sunday was hotter than ever with high humidity. There was a rumour that the air temperature hit 42ºC in the afternoon.

Travel 2008 – Bucharest, Day 3
Saturday, 30th August 2008 – Bucharest, Day 3 Saturday was when things got serious and the weirdness had to be put on hold though not before we’d found a Dacia that had obviously been on its roof, prompting the question “How did the driver get going fast enough to do that?” Lynne’s theory was that…

Mind you we hadn’t been helped in the morning’s race by a series of short but…
Travel 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Day 2
Friday, 1st August 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Day 2 Friday had its complications, but also revealed the best typo of the season so far when Oliver Turvey somehow got transformed into Oliver Turkey, which he’s not likely to be able to live down any time soon.
