Found : Camo with Adrian Flux Babes

Found these two images from the 2007 French Car Show. The Adrian Flux babes obviously found my car interesting enough to have their picture taken next to her.

Camouflage Vehicles

I thought I would check the internet to see what other camouflage vehicles are out there in the world. Using Google image search I found the following.

Camo Subaru (DC Shoes Gumball 3000)

Camo Volvo C30

Sure there are others, which ill post later.

Spotted : Camo by Drive By Shooters

Found a picture of Camo taken by Drive By Shooters, a husband and wife team that take photographs of anything automotive it seems. The picture was taken at a mini cruise in Milton Keynes, UK.

Day 8 - Frankfurt to Home

Day 8 began at 05:30. After checking out of the Intercontinental hotel we joined the autobahn heading for Koln, Brussels and Calais.

The route can be seen here.

The weather in Germany was misty at 6am in the morning, which then turned to rain as we got nearer the Belgium border.

We caught up with another Modball team in a services and ran with them up until the docks in Calais. Upon arrival at the docks, we saw all the other Modballer's who had driven to Calais from Prague. We unfortunately werent loaded on to the same ferry as them so caught the ferry after them.

We arrived back in England about 3pm and after a quick stop for something to eat we drove back home, arriving there at 7pm. Another long drive but I was so glad to be home. I was done being in the car.

Day 7 - Prague to Frankfurt

Team Funkycoconut checked out of the Hotel Duo in Prague about 11am. Modball had finished in Prague and we were heading home to England. To drive direct to England straight from Prague was a 10 hour (1,117km) drive and just too long. So plans were made to stop in Frankfurt for the evening and catch a few hours sleep there before carrying on to Calais to catch the midday ferry back to Dover.

See the route we took, click here.

Today was again mostly a motorway/autobahn drive to Frankfurt. Czech motorways require drivers to have a motorway sticker. These are available in petrol stations, the border controls and some post offices. Upon entering the Czech Republic, there was no officials to point us in the right direction to obtain one and in the petrol stations I stopped at yesterday and today, they did not sell them. So entering the last services in the czech Republic before we entered Germany, we stopped but again they did not sell the motorway stickers. The services was full of Czech people on their way to Euro 2008 in Switzerland. Upon leaving the services, we were stopped by Czech police for not having the motorway sticker. In very poor Czech/English, I explained that the petrol station did not sell them and she accepted this excuse. I came away from this with a 500CZK (£16) fine. 5 minutes after leaving the services were arrived at the border and rued stopping at the services for at toilet stop.

Once in Germany, the Autobahn's whisked speedily by as we drove to Frankfurt. We were taking our time and caught up with some other Modballers ,Team UK Garage Sensation in the Skoda Fabia and Seat Leon. We hung with them for a time before driving off chasing a Porsche 911 (haha we wish).

We arrived in Frankfurt aroudn 5pm and the sat nav guided us to our hotel for the evening, The 5 star Intercontinental Hotel. Upon arrival, it was not clear to me where the parking garage was so upon asking the valet parking attendant where the garage was , he offered to park the car for me. Feeling a little underdressed for such a establishment, I declined his offer and took his directions whilst he helped the black S class Mercedes that had arrived behind Camo.
