    I was thoughly impressed by our 12 days in Europe, And would like to extend sincere thanks on behalf of myself and teammates, we Are the THREE PLUMBINGOS, and we had the time of our lives as participants in this years SAAB SOLOMON trans alp rally. SAAB, Salomon, Recco, SUUNTO, and a host of other sponsors have put together what should be known as the world’s most exciting and exhausting Snow and driving sport, The Transalp rally.

    The car was absolutely top notch, the food and accomodations were all wonderful, and the work that the staff of Saab and Solomon put in to this event were outstanding, I want everyone to know I will not forget your hospitality, and hard work, and I thank you for everything.

    I can offer over 500 photos of the event, the places, the people and of course the wonderful cars.

    What an adventure, my head is still spinning, if someone shouts 123 go, I will jump out of my skin. hahahaha
