Contact Miguel, Delibes, on the forum. He just started a business importing G wagons to the US from Europe.

I have a spare euro black plastic license plate frame I'll be glad to send you. (no charge). It has no slogans. Let me know if you'd like it.

I'd go to any Auto Parts store in Germany, and pick up a few packages of the colored florescent "breakdown" warning vests to wear, they are required equipment in German cars now - cool and practical. In fact if you grab some, I'd like to buy a couple from you... I think they only cost $5 or $10 in euro equivalent.

I was in Germany driving, on vacation, just a year ago, is how I know this.

Bon voyage!

Errr, I don't think Ben is considering DRIVING back. I mean, I know the G-wagons are supposed to be multi-terrain but....

I contacted Miguel. He said he does not know anyone in Madrid who can act as a guide. I think his family lives somewhere else.

I'll take plenty of pictures of cool cars I see there. We are renting a minivan with a manual transmission. Should be fun.

Madrid in July? Spain closes pretty much down for mid July 'till September, everyone leaves Madrid. They say NY never sleeps but Madrid really never sleeps, good memories.

Very likely to be diesel powered. You will come back wondering what's wrong with us....

I did it in Asia earlier this year. They had a little more in diesel pumps but it was still dirty around the pumps and on the pumps. Fortunately for me I didn't have to get my hands and shoes stinking of diesel nor did we have to worry about gelled fuel. I was glad to be back in my gas machines.

The truck has to be diesel to tow and the wife wants to push the 210 to 1 million miles but if we did replace it, I'd be only buying gas vehicles. So no, I won't be wondering what is wrong with us.
