So finally, the time has come :D
It is already the time of year when my 480 is being prepared for the long run :D in 10 days time I am heading for the UK :D so now it is only changing the oil and the filters, filling up the tank, paying extra insurance and I am off 1700km to go :D 20 great hours of pleasureable driving :D

extra insurance...
simply if by any bad luck anything happens to my car e.g. it won't start etc, I get free towing, extra money up to a certain amout to pay for the part (meaning I will not have to pay full price) and I think some costs of the overnight is also taken care of
simply, for not much I get quite a lot - and it works in whole Europe

@deviliShred480
I am hurrying..it is just that I still have to write a couple more papers about Chaucer's works and I have to do it within the next 12 hours, then there is doing some formal semantics analysis of a few sentences and that would be a wrap for this semester :D Mind you I alread wrote 7 papers within last week...
To tell you the truth the weather here got colder as well, last week it was +30&more Centigrade, but it got colder now.
I just can't wait till I get away from here, soooo looking forward to te trip..I'll say it again :) 20h of 480 driving :D

As for the subject of insurance:
I do not have to buy an extra insurance, as the standard one which I have covers the problem of accidents or if my car gets nicked...but I want to be insured just in case it gets broken..remind me guys how much is towing in the uk ~100 quid??

All the best
