Devoted dad does duty in Deutschland


Colin Marsh with Hertz rental car - he's a Five-Star Gold Club member doncha you know. The satnav saves a lot of blundering about in the dark.
If it didn't have a Ford badge on the front you'd say this was a seriously useful motor car with diesel engine ideally suited to the hairpin bends of the Eifel mountains. Picture taken outside our digs in Mayen where the landlady is a cut above the Blackpool-type.
Gone are the days of going racing in an old van and sleeping under the stars in a used nylon sleeping bag, which the previous owner has helpfully adorned with cigarette burns. Words and pic by RLT.
