I WAS SHOCKED, I HAVE NEVER SEEN CONTROL LIKE THIS BEFORE. We spend there four hours!!! They looked into all baggages and everything inside! They come with endoscope and looked into every single corner in bus, they removed bolstering in a bus even came with two dogs. Unfortunately they found one of passengers has some white powder in some box ![]() about 1100 km, 11:30 = almost 24hr bus trip to capital of Lithuania, Vilnius (freezing, tons of snow... and tired unbelievably): ![]() ...then in 5hrs meet with Romas and his wife, nice dinner and rest in his flat (at last bed again ![]() zero km, 10:30 = leaving Romas... (you can see roads, nothing special to test my new beast ![]() ![]() 67 km, 11:30 = LT-PL border (afraid as hell after last experience with local customs) 67 km, 11:31 = Poland!!! Everything nice and smooth ![]() 410 km, 18:00 = Warsaw. Meeting with Celica-Club Poland members and Tomasz. Dinner in KFC ![]() ![]() ![]() 410 km, 13:00 = on the road again... see perfect roads... and time push ponies a bit ![]() ![]() 904 km, 19:00 = speed ticket... again (damn!!!! 3km before CZ border) 907 km, 19:10 = PL-CZ border 917 km, 19:30 = rest for a night... next day noon continuing to Prague (see weather and roads?) ![]() ![]() 1067 km, next day 14:30 = home... at last. No another speed tickets (I was driving like angel by the limits ![]() ...more expressions about power you can find here ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by malpaso: Feb 5, 2007 - 5:33 AM -------------------- No more replicas...

Martin, I'm glad you reached your home safely. Anytime you pass Warsaw, you are welcome in my place.
BTW - Maja would be dissapointed that "uncle" Martin is only admiring Igor. ![]() -------------------- '94 ST202 - tuned, highly apprieciated, but sold.
