Well, we made it to Split and I’m currently uploading a trimmed set of photos (still amounts to 408!) whilst sat in my pants back in DJ Towers, London. Will put some of the highlights on Facebook thought it’s definitely worth flicking through here for some hidden gems.

Video editing was a nightmare this year what with cars in our convoy breaking down, power supplies exploding at every opportunity etc but we have plenty footage that I’ll glue together this week. Wish it could have gone up day by day, hopefully watching us on GPS was good enough :-)

All you need to know really for now is that it was a brilliant few days, and we made it :-) The picture above was taken in a Split car park and you see me and cookie celebrating with a tequila beer!

The day began on less of a high than you’d think. Mainly because we were all a bit tired and moody from the huge delays and lack of sleep on the ferry the night before. At least we were here though, some unfortunate souls were still stuck in Dover at 8.30am as everyone else was setting off… well I say everyone else becuase one of our convoy the “Manchester Hacienda Crew” had a water leak which took a while to bodge so we didn’t actually kick off till 11:15.. ah well we only had 550+ miles to drive..

It’s amazing how far some chopped up rubber pipes, a splodge of Araldite and a jubilee clip will get an old C Class mercedes and at every stop today we’ve been well thankful for the extra miles. Whether the Alps and The Stelvio Pass (fuck!) will be conquered remains to be seen.

The DJ Mobile is surviving but it’s had a bit of a limp since the Swiss border when the inverter blew two fuses and then went *pop* extinguishing the light show. Onwards and upwards though because we’re stepping up to a 600W one tomorrow!

Right it’s time to go and meet the rest of the teams in the Bar for the evening. A big hello to those of you that said Hi this morning (The two-tone 7 series and the Top Gun Pilots in the Saab especially!)

No video right now since they usually get done in the car before arrival (which has been difficult without power!) and now I’m off for a beer which has been totally fucking earned!

Yep, inkeeping with the fleet, it’s a big old Beamer! The beast may have 180K Miles on the clock but she’s an absolute stonker and after this weekend will hardly be recognisable as myself and cook get to work on the mobile disco customisations.

I pick it up tomorrow so watch this space!
