Well, Sir Scott, do a quick check on what the German Edition of the 2020 Subaru XV Platinum has for foot pedals....the Gas pedal and the Brake pedal, as well as the far left side foot rest .

I'll take a picture of the ones in my car, and you'll swear those are World Rally inspired foot control pedals.

Just finished flight # 4 for the week, now sitting in the airport in Amsterdam, waiting to fly to Scotland.

And yes, Sir Scott....there really is a German Edition of these cars.

This trip seems like the whole world is telling you; "Don't go away mad... Just go away."Β  🤣Β 

Remember to wax your feathers... er... fur, for the return.

Hopefully he isn't wearing a red and white striped long stocking cap and thick rimmed glasses.

O'dark thirty here in Germany. Now heading off to the aeroporte' to do flight # 8.... Frankfurt to Munich.

Then comes the longest one of all, flight # 9...Munich to Seattle.

To make matters worse, I now have a very sore throat, and a head cold.

Burning the candle at both ends, burning the midnight oil, and now burning up with a fever.

Probably too late for it, but my goto for long haul flights was two Nyquil Liquicaps and a bottle or two of airline whiskey.Β  9 hours of catatonia.Β 

Of course, the booze side of things isn't quite your cup of tea anyway so....Happy trails?

Agree.Β  Longest flight I ever was on was JoBerg, ZA to Perth, W.A.Β  22 hours over the Indian Ocean.Β  Deceitful At least it was on a very good national airline (B.A.) rather than a cut-rate cattle wagon.

Home !

Tired, worn out, bad head cold, however every goal that was set, every task that needed completing were all done.

Now, when we return in early April,Β  my wife will not have to go through any of this,Β  as things are set up to make travelΒ  easier for her.

Now I need a full week off, just toΒ  recover.Β
