Our World Cup blog starts for real when we leave England for Germany on 7 July, but don’t for a moment think that we haven’t already been busy.
Martin and I will travel around Germany in a mobile home and with this in mind recently went on a day’s driver training with one of the best in the business – Ronny Mapes.
“Ronny,” said Ronny, “has a saying for everything.” And he really wasn’t joking.
“If its clear grab a gear”, “Brakes to slow, gears to go” and “More paint, more danger”, are just a selection of Mapes wisdom.
We met at a car park off the A3 south of London early in the morning and for the next few hours learnt how to drive the Ronny way.
