As it had rained over night and our T-top leaks this saved us sitting in wet seats for the rest of the day. As we unwrapped the Kak other non-Scumball guests took one look at our cars a then hurried off to see if theirs had remained unmolested (they had). We checked the oil and water (no water required and less then 1/2 litre of oil) then set off for Germany after finding another petrol station. The Scumball roadbook was faultless and directed us to our lunch stop in Eupen. Although the described fountain was considerably smaller then I imagined - more like a bird bath.
We were amongst the first to arrive but were quickly joined by the others. 
After several coffees and a cake we resumed our journey to Germany and arrived at the Hotel safely around 2pm. Some decided to get in a few laps on the Ring but we opted for the beer and lard based snack option. We also needed to perform the only piece of car maintenance that was needed on the entire trip - adjusting a slipping alternator belt. Whilst exploring the town we came upon Darryl and Geoff (Team Jamfund) who were waiting at the petrol station for the recovery truck to arrive as the auxiliary belt tensioner had destroyed itself on their Golf VR6. Their car was taken to the local VW dealer for repair.
