As I drive over the Pyrenees mountains, I drive into a thick fog. A cloud really. Can’t see
further than the hood of the car. So, I was quite happy to follow a Volvo, with fog lights front
and rear. After a while he pulls over and waves me past. Obviously tired of staring into mist, he
decided it was my turn to do the path finding for a bit. Bastard! 😀

Cows in the Pyrenees? You’d better believe it!

Having been helt up by a heard of roaming cows, I put down the peddle.
For a moment I forget, I have a trunk full of camping gear, and in a bend the rear breaks out...
A quick opposite lock, brings it back, but too much! I stare at the ravine...
Another quick correction, brings it all back in line with the road. See, you don't need a lot
of horsepower to have fun! 😀
