Soviet Uzbekistan? No UA 1980. Both exactly the same.

Ukraine UA , 1980 Premiere

Of course I didn’t know what it was. But he guessed it somewhere in the MNG or the -stans. I looked for TJ first. Then UZ. LV is also similar, but it doesn’t seem possible to me that it could drive there. If someone has another solution – write. Let me get it right.           So see you raphael comment.

Event No. 2. DK flag above cab, but Lp A. Shame not black. Speed limit 25. Sunday motorists at ease. The truck drivers would probably sweep him into a ditch tomorrow. About 200 m further on, the three streams narrow into one and solid line.


Woche 46 (-2) Länder. Best Fehmarn 2022. Es wundert mich: kein RSM oder GB Insel. Auch wenig UK. Alle angeblich stehen in Dover.

Masse statt Klasse

they say in D. This applies in Saturday to PRG and unfortunately also Fehmarn. Migration of nations. But only a few.

Today I wore everything I have here. Even three socks on, 2 shirts,2 jackets… The temperature rose to 16°C, but a sharp icy wind was blowing.  So it felt like a 9. Maybe a 7. And I have never experienced a terrible winter in MC in the winter, not even close.

The decisive moment of the day. I was chasing an AUS bike. The only thing that was suspicious was how clean and tidy it was. That was a surprise. A woman and she spoke to me in English…But what, unfortunately, I don’t know.

So instead of a complete program, I now lay under the covers for 2 hours. And there is Nena in D tv.
She looks a lot better now than she did then. At sixty.
Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann.

The cooling brought only half the joy

the thermometer in the port showed my favorite 19, but on top of that there was an icy wind blowing all the way from Grønland. All the clothes weren’t enough. At least the head is OK, unlike the heat.

But one joy came. Kuwait KWT. Also N provis is not every day.

Dozens of Fly by Nite trucks were returning all day.
So it must have been a monster concert. My guess is Stones.

Scandinavian spotters, you have received a rare visitor

Chile RCH, 3years Premiere as 81th 2022

Also Island IS, AND, there might have been more, but it ended in a downpour. 34 states- best of tour Nr.2.

Hopefully that’s the end of the summer break. Last year almost 4 months, now less than 2. Since Argentina.


I try not to follow all the lies. But maybe this is true. In my beloved Italy, the government has fallen and there will be early elections.
“I vote” Giorgia Meloni, Fratelli d’Italia.

As you can see, Holland everywhere. Trucks, caravans, everything. Deep admiration for this immensely capable nation. Too bad they didn’t come to us. Instead of those…
As Clarkson writes in one of his books: “You want to look out from the Scottish cliffs and see nothing. NL caravans everywhere. You want to look at the breathtaking scenery in the Alps and see nothing, NL caravans everywhere…”and it goes on.
Of course he didn’t mean it in a bad way.                                                                                    When the Kursk submarine sank, they had to call the Dutch. When the Evergreen got stuck in the Suez, they had to call the Dutch. And I bet the most complicated part of Nord stream 2 was done by the Dutch. Eternal shame to those who destroyed this magnificent building.

Hitzewelle curtailed the action

In the port it showed a tolerable 28 at 3pm. But after 3pm there is no shade on either side. It was noticeably warmer in the city. The internet reported 32. Considering that Hamburg is about 200km and there were 40, this is an achievement.

Well, at least the good old Åland AX and 2 most likely US motorcycles.
Another madman went against the flow. And the impatient jumped under the wheels again. The truck rubberized the black lines there. I think he stopped at shorter distances than the passenger car.
The worst combination is a good guy in one lane who would give priority to everyone and a time chaser in the other.

Tomorrow already the transition to the usual weather. From Friday 20.

The heat has arrived here too

So only until 3 pm and then again in the evening. The best MC. I don’t think I missed anything. It’s sterile like PRG.

Heat waves are caused by:
sun or
catalytic converters in cars. It changes waste products into CO2 or
the rise of China etc. or
stopping (weakening) of the Gulf Stream.

Same as in Prague

Malta, Kazachstan, Liechtenstein.

Waves of Scandinavians are rolling towards southern Europe. Do they even know what awaits them there?
Like in Prague. Almost no motorbikes, expeditions, just the spice of spotting.
Also 32 countries, as it happens now in Prague.

The famous Mongol rally, at least in the B version

As we already know from Paris-Beijing, China and Mongolia ((certainly not only these 2 countries) remain inaccessible to the EU for covid-dirt.                                                             So at least the version with a destination in Georgia. Thanks for that.

The main start is traditionally in London. But the real one starts after the Launch Party near Prague. All the crews are already leaving from there. The Launch Party is private, so these images are exclusive.
Like is 1/5 of the route, so also regarding Lp. Malta the best. But as I say – thanks for this too. If I had to guess, this won’t happen in the future either. It’s such a goodbye. With long-distance rallies, world travelers and the world as we knew it.


I’m leaving.  At least a silent protest against the current government, foreign flags on buildings, primitive fanaticism and hatred…It’s done for now. Maybe there will be something in the fall.


Woche 48 (+-0). Aber letzte drei Tage? Das mit alten Zeiten hatte nicht zu tun. Motos- bestes Indikator. Ausser D und ein Paar PL u. S nichts. Asia ist zum Abschreiben. Und PRG das war Asia Schaufenster. China (einmal 30 pro Tag), J, ROK, T, MAL, SGP, RI…Transsibirien Magistrale verwaist.

A period of nothingness is slowly creeping in

The last period was characterized by balance and variety. Now the scary model of last year is slowly starting to prevail. From 100 vehicles 95% D, PL, NL. But Scandinavia put on a big show. Many days 1.DK ,2.S ,3.N.

The boys spotters reported from aboard the flight to Bologna. So I told them that they are doing well. Maybe just a short time and those conveniences like heating, refueling, driving on vacation, etc. will be a thing of the past.

Sanctions hurt Europe more than Russia, they only prolong the war, critized Orbán. Instead of weakening the RUS and shortening the war, they are only prolonging it.
Initially, I thought that we only shot ourselves in the foot, but now it is clear that the EU economy has hit itself in the lungs and is gasping for breath, says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in today’s interview.

The North claims music

Norway’s huge increase. There has never been so much N. But Island IS is only one of them!

July 1 introduced- and now Premiere here. Hungary H. Hungary finally has the Lp it deserves! I envy H his government beyond measure. Mr. Orbán. But they could have chosen a similar one for me. Now a lot of people here are finally waking up. We are a stupid and cowardly nation.

Great KZ day. A total of 4.

Not a day without a rally. This time Swedish to Split.


It wasn’t until recently that I thought to look up what IR is. I did not find anything. On the other hand, the similarity with TR is striking. But blue band no sticker like in F. Perfect IR.

The dark times of world rallyes

Malheureusement le Trophée Paris Pékin n’a pas pû se réaliser cette année en raison de la crise sanitaire occasionnant la fermeture des frontières terrestres mongoles et chinoises et aussi à cause de la situation en Russie.

Unfortunately the Paris Beijing Trophy could not take place this year due to the health crisis causing the closure of the Mongolian and Chinese land borders and also because of the situation in Russia.

This year they tried to change the route. Instead of Beijing to Vladivostok.

I went for a drive last night. I was most looking forward to going down to the underground of a one hotel and there the TPP cars would be leveled. Void. So I got suspicious. And here is the answer from France.

One rally after another

1 Lebanon RL also came with the Greek rallye (70 cars).

Also 2 very rare GR exp.

I spent the afternoon alternately watching F1, TdF and Wimbledon. So the only spotting – a short visit to the parking lot behind Shopping City West.

В українське село прибув монгольський автобус

The school holidays have started in CZ. In addition, Tuesday and Wednesday-holiday. It’s been a weird week. In any case, the Czechs and especially their children disappeared completely. For a Czech or Croatian or Canarian country. And public space and public transport were flooded by our new heroes – UA. But to an extreme degree. Scary. I have been dealing with the idea of emigrating for a long time. Unlike J.C. I chose Austria. And to these burdensome thoughts. Mongolia MNG, second 2022, third overall

My man from Pařížská Street is behind it. I only dare to go to the center by bike and in the dark. Unfortunately, now there is no escape even on the outskirts of the city. Not even in the last bus, in which no tourist has ever ridden. 200,000 visa applications were pending before the war. As if by flicking a magic wand – everything is different. A welcome with all possible honors and prebends. So somewhere on the farthest edge of town I got a message. The finale was already very calm. The yellow bus shone down the long street for hundreds of meters.


TdF makes me really happy. I forget reality for a moment. Here’s the moto from Puttgarden. One competitor broke away from the peloton. All accompanying vehicles stay behind the peloton. The blue motorcycle lets him pass and hangs behind him with a spare wheel. The next photo shows that the fugitive is losing and the peloton catches up with him. The motorcycle is instructed to return to the front. No one will enjoy a tour better than a mechanic on this bike. From the wonderful Dunkerque-Calais stage. This is also one of the absolutely magical areas for me.

For now, I live on memories

So I have time to look back at the DK tour stages. Sometimes it even touches me. Beautiful landscapes, beautiful towns and villages, roads and most of all the people. Such numbers lined the route for 3 days. F doesn’t even dream of that. I also enjoyed the super bridge, the main competitor of my ferry route. It is a giant 65 m above sea level. Pillars almost 300m. Half the peloton fell there.
I’ve loved DK since I was little. This was just a confirmation. After all, even Jeremy Clarkson, when he once opened the Daily Mirror in the morning, and it read J.C. – RACISM. I was so scared that I seriously started thinking about where I would emigrate, he writes. And after a long while I chose DK. The weather there is like ours, the best pork, thousands of long-haired girls ride their bikes in miniskirts, everything there smells and the architecture is like from Bang and Olufsen.

Here I peeked into the center only once. And he disappeared disgusted. From the world of Scandinavian families, D pensioners, hares and seagulls among one entity worse than the other. Screaming Latino youth, drunken Westerners, zachvatčiky from the East, street vermin, dirt, disgust, vandalism, practically zero foreign cars.
I’m amazed at how few Scandinavians I’ve seen. Where do the endless columns go? And it wasn’t like that. Already at the beginning of June, PRG was filled with DK, S, N, FIN.
The quality is leaving Prague – a vermin is taking their place.

Rain in Copenhagen, rain here

The bread was broken (that’s how we call the decisive moment) right at the beginning. Such a chance, if it doesn’t change, I know there won’t be another one.

The support of the Dublin-Copenhagen cycle tour prepared refreshments for the approaching peloton. But I didn’t speak Slovak with the Irishmans. They also have the Silk Road behind them.

Cadillac or Rolls? No no. N is a pioneer in the import of Chinese e-cars. Honqvi. Once upon a time, the Scandinavians were the first to ride in Japanese ones. I don’t see a single reason not to buy an e-car from China. All the strengths of European cars were engine, transmission and status. Does an electric Mercedes make sense at twice the price? It doesn’t have.


And then it rained. Here and in a few tens of minutes in Copenhagen. Luck rained there for the Belgian Lampaert. Quick step team. So he was with us.

 

So, sometime on the island again…


Sat.: As I predicted. Great enthusiasm gripped Denmark. Today “mountain stage” to the highest DK mountain – 83m above sea level!


46 Länder diese Woche +4. 2 Fehmarn, 2 noch in PRG. Nur MD war nicht dabei.

Qazaqstan Premiere on the island

I wasn’t surprised. The old bus was driven by a dog. Qazaqstan KZ, truck LV.

AND old, FIN trade. Åland AX Nr.5.

Tour today in the sign of technology. The advertising caravan may not even go to DK. Many are only interested in the F market. Cycling expeditions are multiplying.
This bike is very important. As a neutral, it accompanies escapes to which team cars do not penetrate through the peleton. And when a defect occurs — it’s time.

FIN person (?) and DK trade (new) Premiere. Today 34, second best.


So the sponsor caravane is more than 10 km long!!!  As a Czech Television reporter demonstrated, it is important to jump and wave a lot. He collected half a shopping bag.
So the Škoda cars from yesterday will be in the caravane.
Unfortunately, we are not the only way to DK. And I’m at work for about 8 hours. So the losses are huge. For example, I did not see the Ineos and Bora teams. But the winner probably did. I’m guessing Team UAE Emirates, Tadej Pogačar (SLO).
So on Thursday is the last chance for a caravane. It all has its timing. Teams were scheduled to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.
So what about tomorrow?

Once again, something for the masters

GP Monaco or Tour de France is the best in tv. But I wanted to see the advertising column, which runs on TdF about an hour before the pellet. Perhaps 100 cars scatter souvenirs for fans standing on the route.

She had her world premiere a month ago. Now he will take the tour director right after the first racer. Mr. Macron always rides a bit.

Who knows what it is – he’s a superstar. I look forward to.

They don’t have enough fences in the whole DK to cover the 1st stage Copenhagen-Copenhagen.
Another from the column. But on Friday there will be beautiful girls standing and throwing candies to people.

Up to Copenhagen

Cycling DK and its capital will experience a great holiday. Tour de France.

Isle of Jersey GBJ. 

Around noon- rush hours with MA.

Kazakhstan prefers the English translation of Qazaqstan.

By evening, as in most cases, the traffic is slowing down. 2xMC.

The spotters on this route were happy. Giant’s catch- BY.

It’s useless without trucks

I miss spotting in Prague on Sunday. I clean in the morning and go to Shopping City West in the afternoon. Here the storm ended Sunday’s suffering prematurely. Then I set off on a long-planned circuit of the western part of the island.

DK 1930. The letter above the hand is Ø. Florida.


Woche 42 (-3). Keine BY, MD, MNE. 2UA, 2RUS, AX4! 42 ist für Ort ein gutes Ergebniss.

Tour de France is moving to Denmark

Two F Musketeers en route from Dunkerque to Copenhagen. It hasn’t told me anything yet. But then … It doesn’t happen to start TdF this year in DK, I’m asking my mobile phone. Yes it’s right. And the fourth stage follows in Dunkerque.

Weekends are bad not only in Prague, but also here. But 1 catch succeeded .                          Faroe Island FO

It will surely please. But FO in Prague, in April!

 


VW oldies final night                                                                                                                  Cyndi Lauper welcomed me into this atmosphere. Girls Just Want to Have Fun .

And Nena said goodbye. Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann.

Im Sturz durch Zeit und Raum
Erwacht aus einem Traum
Nur ein kurzer Augenblick
Dann kehrt die Nacht zurück
Bits and pieces from your storm
Rain upon me as they form
Melt into my skin and I feel warm
Sweep upon me like a wave
We are young and brave
Embrace the wind and float into
Another time and space
Gib mir die Hand
Ich bau’ dir ein Schloss aus Sand
Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann
If we belong to each other, we belong
Anyplace anywhere anytime
If we belong to each other, we belong
Anyplace anywhere anytime
I’m going to any world you’re coming from
Anyplace anywhere anytime
If we belong to each other, we belong
Anyplace anywhere anytime
I’m going to any world you’re coming from

Midsummer days

Abu Dhabi . Norway helped again. This time hitchhikers. I often praise CH here, but Norway is on the level. Amazing country. Beautiful. Unfortunately, I got the furthest north to Stockholm.

L export. The trucks  transported  Tesla cars, I guess to N. From Bremerhaven, i think. DK have had new (larger) paper provis Lp.

In the evening I peeked again at the VW bus meeting. It’s a very German atmosphere. The best thing is that oldies music wins everywhere. British, Italian, but it got me the most Nena. Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann.

30 states. Today RUS. That transcript. Almost everyone already has it in Prague. Nothing goes to Scandinavia. Only departures S, DK, N, FIN (these traditionally appear in the evening).

Fourth Ahvenanmaa

Yes, that’s what Åland’s name is in Finnish. A lot of things surprised me about these almost 7,000 islands. AX speaks Swedish. From the capital it is 2x closer to the S than FIN.

 

There is a big Midsummer holiday in Scandinavia, so the traffic is so weird. So today at 15 end and lounging in the room.

If you think there’s a lot of VW buses, it’s because there’s a meeting.

Today it came to an end

Good old André Rieu on a Scandinavian tour. A place where 3 lanes merge into two. Once a day, a constellation of racers meets and the situations tend to be more terrifying than in F1.

Good old Johny Cash on a Scandinavian tour. Rieu could be his son. The insect hotel ended in failure. I’ve never seen a single animal there before. And that was to be the Ark of Noah.

 

Of course, I noticed an old Land Rover leaving for a European tour. In 2 hours he was back on the tow truck platform. He waved for about 3 minutes and help came. International. But as it is in Scandinavia everywhere.

Faroe truck, F sidecar and DK trade.

Australia AUS and Morocco MA . 32 countries today.

The total opposite of Prague – Fehmarn

A few meters from the Scandinavian route just silence, greenery, hares and seagulls. And the sea. Not azure-green. No stag partys, grafitti, dirt, garbage, roar, “refugees”, hot pavement, crowded public transport and shopping malls, full street vermin …

Everything takes place here right at the beginning. Unfortunately, I don’t go before, because I always go to breakfast until the last date. Today in the first batch  Saudia KSA. KSA takes pictures even badly, let alone flying. Motorcycles break through the port of the ship so that they can start first.

Several buses come to Border Shop daily from Sweden. That he can then split it.
I often get into nostalgia here. Scandinavia has always been a little higher when it comes to cars and especially trucks. But VW bus and US cars- it was a 90% hit. With Bullis they rode expeditions around the world and the Cadillacs had USA, CDN, KWT, RL … which were crowded in front of the hotels in the center. Before the ryanairs destroyed it all.

I remember Italy. It hasn’t rained there for more than 100 days. And hell day after day. Next in line is us.

Today, 35 states. Again 1UA (happy North) and no RUS. A couple a day, especially in the evening, traveled to the EU. From Murmansk and Arkhangelsk via N.                                 The trucks were fully controlled by the logistics giants DSV, postnord, DHL, Fedex … In the PRG, normal trucks still show up as before. When there were no logistics centers and trucks went from seller to buyer.

I should have been here before

It hasn’t been a nice week like this. And the heat wave arrived. Thus
at 8.30 away. I drove through areas with 39°C. And in Lübeck there were 16. Winter jackets, children’s rams and hoods. Well, you couldn’t even go for a walk on the island as it was cold. In the PRG, they finally made it to 39º. And now at 20 there are still 32.

Great escape to PL. The train to Szczecin did not take all the passengers.

This winter we will enjoy the mood to the fullest. Does anyone in the West even understand the Russian soul? Giving ultimatums and punishments. Russia ?! So they are slowly closing the cocks themselves. They’ll sell it somewhere else. And the EU will import LNG from KSA. I’m surprised D Green doesn’t mind that adulterous women are stoning in the squares. And that it will be driven by giant ships emitting more oxide than all the cars in the EU combined. But they are not. They have yet to be made. Stupidity and bigotry are paid for. It’s coming.


That’s from last night. I was looking forward to the rally for 3 months and in the end I couldn’t look at the arrival. And those 2 AUS came with GB and F Lp. He’s been like this for a week. I’m not expecting anything here. There is green grass and air with the scent of Greenland. Not ground-level toxic ozone, stink and smog. PRG has reached a new bottom. Probably like the EU stock market in response to its leaders.


45 Länder diese Woche d.h. -4. Kein MNE und vor allem P. Tagesdurchschnitt 32. Nicht so längst so 40. Jetzt ist Schluss. Das schlimmste im ganzem Jahr die D Frühlings Feirtage. Gestern noch dazu Guns and roses. Überall voll. Hunderte Autos. Alles aber D,PL,H. Deprimierend. Wenn überhaupt ,dann wird besser wieder erst am Anfangs September.


Welcome in Germany.


Great joy came in the end. France (my second home) gave Marine le Pen eleven times the votes to parliament. France is waking up. It was time! In the photo with our ally Tomio Okamura. His preferences fly up too.
