Day 2 Tuesday 16th May - Frankfurt to Prague 310 Miles

After a hearty breakfast it was soon apparent that one or two people were nursing hangovers. It was also very apparent the there were two under-cover police cars in the car park. Damn they knew we were there!

Jenna in the RS6 was offered a ride (so to speak) in the back of one of the police cars as they also said that they were there to give us a police escort out of Frankfurt. So in jumped Jenna with Gary, one of our camera crew, for a 150 mile per hour blast down the motorway with the rabbit runners gingerly hanging around the back of the police car wondering if this was a trap.

It turned out that it wasn’t and Jenna and the cameraman got out of the police car and off we all went again for around ten miles and then it was like lambs to the slaughter, and the least said about this part of the day the better.

Matt and Chas in the Trans Am (novelty probably starting to wear a bit thin now) visited several garages in Frankfurt to try and get their exhaust system sorted, their determination paid off, five hours later and a few hundred euros’ lighter the boys left Frankfurt on route to Prague with the Trans Am now running like a dream. Chris and Paul in the RS were nervous of getting lost again so stuck on the back of Gary and Lee in the Z4 - it was like the blind leading the blind!

Once over the Czech border, the roadside police were replaced with road side prostitutes often selling their services next to garden gnome stands!

We all arrived in Prague, with Jon and Lee arriving first in the very discreet A8. Greg and Max would have come second but well into Czech were told that they had one of the cameramen’s passports on board who was now stuck at the border, so their good deed of the day was to turn around and do a 100 mile round trip to retrieve Gary!

The police in Germany liked Peter and Chris’s Boxster S that much that they wanted to keep it for 24 hours, so the boys opted for a 130 mile cab journey, Great Spirit!

After a couple of beers in the bar we ventured out in to the very picturesque Prague for dinner in a restaurant on the river (well found Jon). After dinner a few went to a casino and the rest went around a few of the bars. The best way to describe Prague is outrageous. Needless to say a late night was had by all!
