Andrew,

Ariel have a 2010 Atom with 1600 miles on it. Would be easy to buy, use on the Alps, and sell on when you get back. Unless, of course, you decided to keep it.  :)

I have pulled out of Carfest and am going to do part of this trip.

I will meet you in Stuttgart for the 2 nights there and then Waterloo.

Hotels booked.

I have booked on the same return train as you.

See you in Stuttgart after a long drive that day.

Regards

Julian
