		<description><![CDATA[So now we&#8217;re sitting on packed bags in the hotel lobby waiting for a friendly BMW employee to drive us to our MINIs in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The hotel, by the way, is recommendable. The Double Tree at Atlanta Airport is clean, the people are helpful and friendly and you get a free cookie and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a slight change of plans&#8230; We took the shuttle back to the airport yesterday and took MARTA to downtown Atlanta. We didn&#8217;t manage to get a SIM card yet, but bought a set of walkie talkies. Following the slightly new tradition from last year, we stopped at a longhorns for a great steak.

		<description><![CDATA[We made it to the other side of the pond. The flight was a bit of a bumpy ride but othetwise uneventful. We were slightly delayed, as we had strong headwinds and avoided a couple of thunderstorms. The second delay was at ATL airport, as we had to re-check in our luggage and pass another [...]]]></description>

The conditions are reasonable. They want 77USD per day for a clubman, that&#8217;s all inclusive with a limit of 180 miles per day. Additional 0,45USD per mile [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been blogging in a while. Mainly because I was terribly busy. There are a couple of things I could blog about, but as there&#8217;s a court trial pending, I &#8216;d rather not write about it, untill it&#8217;s over. So I&#8217;m counting down from 30 days. You might have read in my last blog [...]]]></description>

Wohoo, try pulling off the autobahn and drive the ramp without power assistance. Let me tell you, it&#8217;s no fun. On the way I stopped [...]]]></description>

I dropped him off before work and got a taxi ride from the work shop to my office in a VW Touran taxi. The ride was an adventure, as the automatic transmission got stuck twice resulting in emergency [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, Charlie&#8217;s bi-yearly technical inspection (TÜV) is overdue since end of May. I know I&#8217;ve been slacking, but I&#8217;ve been quite busy in the last couple of weeks and was waiting for parts to arrive. So I finally found the source for Charlies xenon problems. It was a corroded contact in the right hand side [...]]]></description>
