Elephant Rally/ Elefantentreffen 2016

[Ainzy]

Last year was hard going . Snow from Frankfurt onwards. But year before was easy on the autobahn and I didn't mind the mood as was on a combination. Hopefully a dry cold this year.

If it rains then the last place I'd want to be is the Elefant. The last time I went it chucked it down and I was so fed up with the mud I left Saturday lunchtime

Was it wet then? All I remember is it being hilarious
Fireworks like hand grenades....

It was certainly hilarious, especially when an unknown German gave you a carrier bag full of fireworks to let off at random.

I'll go back at some point if only to see if the group from Frankfurt we used to share beer and firewood with are still camping in the same place because they were brilliant company and had that lunatic Croatian with them who wanted to slit the throat of anyone who pissed him off. I was always glad when he said we were his friends and offered alcohol because I didn't want to be his enemy :pinch:

Just back.

Hi Ainzy so finally met you just as we were leaving, I couldn't believe how quick the snow came down and the conditions got quite interesting, I had a Belgium guy fall off in front of me then stopped to help then struggled to get going again only to get pulled over by the police and get breathalysed! Oh well was a great experience, I'm going to the Altes Elefantentreffen tomorrow

Snow when we arrived Wednesday, after 5 minutes we had to get the outfit towed from the bottom of the hill, oh the embarrassment :unsure: Had 2 great days then nae effin clutch on Friday when we left, another tow. Home in a hire car, outfit arrived via Carole Nash tonight. No more BMW's!!!!!!
