Very sound service and also very nice crew and boss! Thanks a lot Ringo, I'll be back:)! And also thanks to Olly for introducing me to Ringo!

CSP added the Maikäfertreffen Top 15 to their page. These two deluxes took home the 2 available "bus custom" awards, a pleasure to lose against quality competitors! Well deserved!

Not everybody...

...got home well! This split burned down on its way home from Maikäfertreffen! At least nobody got hurt, but still a nightmare! I really hope that split is insured well enough!
Here is a short article about it, and here a video. NEVER leave home without a fire extinguisher! Sincere condolences!
