Tom was driving the Ford. It would do 190kph fairly easily, but we needed to get in another vehicle's slipstream to get to 200.Ian said:And whoever was driving that Ford (with grubby fingernails may I add), I LOL at your measly 200 kph. My car managed at least 65 kph more

Ollie said:What an awful video.
Why put photos in a video? It seems silly and the music didn't fit at all except from when you cut to the coaster footage.
Disagree, look at Vadge's video from the Dorset, Devon Cornwall trip a few months back, or many of Big John's video (especially the one with MCR - Mane Event 2006?) they use photos extensively and are still great videos.
However, I do agree that Steven's video was awful, bizarre music choice and sloppy pacing, didn't really get a feel for the live at all.

Photo trip report of Day 1, taken straight from facebook:
It's day 1 of the latest CF Euro Live and we're kicking off in style with champagne and coasters, does it get any better than this?
50 Euros, in hindsight, far too much
See, is there anything Gaffer tape can't fix?
A significant improvement, shame he took it off really.
This is Mark. Drinking Champagne.
This is Andy. Drinking Champagne.
This is Jordan. She is not drinking champagne.
"Security breach, I can confirm we have a goon in Sector 3"
Underage drinking. Four really is too young.
Perhaps this explains the driving!
His liver says "drink the champagne" but his eyes says "quick, they're testing Colossos".
Matt. Post Champagne and Colossos, not sure which one is to blame.
This is a picture of Mark. That is all.
After riding Colossos, Tom was an inch taller thanks to his hair. Result.
This is Ryan and Brad, they went on Laser later that evening, therefore, I hate them.
Andy. Post Colossos, I'm surprised he isn't having a cigarette.
Will. He. Is.
It's a good ride, but not enough to make me smile.
This is quite possibly the best ride op booth in existence.
Some CF members. In a pub.
Sad face.
Happy face.
This place didn't serve cider. If the bar owner hadn't been Bill Bailey's long lost brother, I'd have destroyed the place by now.
Tom taken unawares by the camera. More specifically, by the existence of cameras it seems.
Jordan is unimpressed by Will's boasting.
Seconds before they did Dream Theater on Karaoke...
A picture. Yesterday. (PCZ, you are sadly missed!).
Mark. One beer and he's out of control. That's one more beer than me.

Day 2: Again, taken from Facebook.
Djurs Sommerland, Tivoli Friheden and the streets of Aarhus provide us with the location for some more antics, including a drunken adventure through Denmark's Second City.
After being pulled over by the police, Neal relaxed with a Pony.
Brad is trying to mask his pony envy.
Some people were too cool to run like squawking magpies for the chlidren's play equipment. Dullards.
This is a cool fountain next to piraten. It pleased me, so I took a photo.
These people do not please me, yet they still got a photo. There's seemingly no logic.
Marc is pondering whether to get a Daim Bar Ice-cream or take over the world.
Will, seriously flirting with the idea of a smile.
Aha, Will, you're fooling no-one.
Everyone's looking away, what are they trying not to look at?
Aaah, Neal and Mark. Must be an F1 conversation no doubt.
Ryan, displaying inappropriate sucking action.
Pierre stares intently at the camera, anything to avoid looking at the two ginger people behind him.
American kids are too cool for us. They've moved on from Swine Flu to the latest animal illness du jour.
These sunglasses make Will 24% cooler.
Marc Leigh. Missing Thorpe Park, but hiding it well.
I want a friend to count with.
Gun Emplacements. Exactly what Thorpe Park need.
Standing is Verbotten in the Big Apple of silence.
Dragen. My 250th Coaster. I didn't have a sign though because I'm not as cool as Ian.
I'm glad to see the tradition of bad milestones is still alive.
My 300th is expected on the Isle of Wight of all places! Sad face, I'm on 298 still and IOW has been and gone.
Joy Fail.
I took a low level shot to make it look bigger and scarier.
It worked for Ian.
Some People. On a Big Apple. Called Dragen. 23 days ago.
Note to Thorpe Park, Tivoli Friheden is a city park, and it's also perfectly clean the two are not exclusive.
Epic Fail in 3... 2... 1...
See Previous photo for caption.
Only Dave and Matt managed this.
Must be a ginger thing.
Ali, attempting a Smooth Criminal Anti-Gravity lean without being nailed to the floor.
Matt learns the hard way not to insult Ferrari within Neal's earshot.
Taylor. this one's for you.
The first of the SCAD-Tower Jumpers.
They charged £6 for a bottle of cider. Luckily it wasn't the Bill Bailey look-a-like otherwise the ice would have been in his face rather than discreetly into the river.
Even Mark agrees that cider with Ice is just wrong.
Peter is shocked to see someone as young as Martyn in the pub.
It's a disgrace really...
Neal and I left the pub and went for a walk round Aarhus.
This is the set from the car chase scene in The Borrowers: Die Harder. No really. It is.
Something tried to grab Neal's foot. Why would we lie?
There was a slutspurt. Neal saw some Ferrari merchandise no doubt.
This virgin was no pushover even for a drunken yob.
She left me feeling exhausted in my efforts to roll her over.
A half naked Mannequin. Suddenly we realised we weren't in Middle England any more.
Out here, they don't even realise Buddy Holly's died yet.
Neal will ride any drunken hippo when he's had a few drinks.
Signs. They're not for everyone.
Bus drivers don't like it when you do this though.
For directions to the nearest Neal. Please follow the blue signs.
We found a gym up a flight of stairs, although I can't remember why we felt the need to go up the stairs.
Although we approve of the gym's subtle policy of not allowing fat people in.
Neal liked this lamppost. I didn't sing Lovestruck by Madness as it would have only confused Danish people into wanting an autopgraph.
This is the House of Royksopp.
Obvious labels. Now in red neon.
The canal. Good for shouting Coaster-Force down loudly
We saw a Honda.
Can you guess what we photographed next?
A bike rack fell off and hit Neal.
(Better than a canoe rack. Durham University Canoe Club, I'm talking to you.)
Obligatory crashed into wall shot.
Serendipidous taken away in ambulance shot.
Here endeth out adventure. I attempted a sad face, but it was not satisfactory.
This was too myspacesque.
This will have to do

Quadruple post! Day 3, again straight from facebook, and now non-facebookers are as up to date as I really am that slow at uploading photos.
Free entry, ERT and free food? No wonder Farup Summerland was a favourite...
Welcome to the story of Steven the Lonely Goon. Steven was a Lonely Goon, who try as he might, could not make any friends...
Here he is dreaming about his fantasy friend...
And here he is...
He tried to make friends with Matt. Who did not want this.
Eventually though, success!!!
David and Steven were soon best of friends and they did everything together.
See Everything... Still they lived happily ever after.
Until one dark day, when David sat with Andy...
Who was friends with Jerry...
Who was friends with Neal...
Who was friends with Gavin...
Who knew CF could be so confusing...
Will, dressed to fend off goons...
Poor Steven, try as he might, he could not get a look in...
Will was always there in his favourite right hand side front row seat with yet another.
But finally, Steven met his prince charming, and here ends the saga.
And so onto Lynet, here is a geeky shot of the plans, I like the way they are on full view.
Here is the concept art for Lynet.
And here is the finished product. Take note Thorpe Park, it is actually possible to stick to your plans.
Hurrah, I've finally found a bigger clown than me!
Will smiling. This is because he is drinking Jagermeister.
This is not only a photo of CF-ers, but also a handy way of remembering what I had to drink last night. Let's see, Tiger, Iced-Tea, Piss weak Cider and Tuborg, no wonder I felt terrible at Tivoli Gardens.
Feel free to insert your own joke about Michael Schumacher's cock here.
"I'm not inserting Michael Schumacher's cock anywhere if you don't mind!"
And finally, just because it's too hilarious not to, here's another picture of Will dressed as a pirate.

Quintuple Post! May I present to you, An A-Z of the theme parks of Copenhagen.
A is for A building. Ahem, an Arabian Abode!
B is for Boyband Brad the Brakeman, who cannot complain that he is not in this album!
C is for Creosote.
D is for Demon, I can spot at least two.
E is for ERT. Hurrah, our first ever B&M ERT!
F is for Figure of 8 layout.
G is for Goon. Only he cannot manage to face forward.
H is for Haribo. Hello Boring Man of Bakken. I have a question. Why did you just say that the park doesn't allow any advertising when we're all advertising Haribo?
I is for Inappropriate Icecream Image.
J is for Joy. It descreases from left to right.
K is for Killed. Which is what this ride will be next year.
L is for lifetime dependency on insulin. But unlike Tom, at least I didn't need two hands to hold it!
M is for Me. Or Misanthrope. Or Misery. Or Malcontent. Or Malaise.
N is for Nerds. Look at them, in their natural habitat.
O is for Ollie. Here is with Will. Who I hope is not is Parent or Legal Guardian.
P is for Pierre. Although, I'm sure you can come up with your own P-word.
Q is for Quintessential photo. We stopped at the top of the brake run. I'm also two months late, I can't imagine you've not seen this picture before. Unless you're reading this and not from CF, in which case, congratulations for wading this far in. You'll be disappointed though, as there are no pictures of Will dressed as a pirate this time.
R is for Rutschebanan. Suprisingly good actually.
S is for Slags. I had 10 of them, Snickers, mango, blueberry, chocolate, chocolate orange, mint chocolate, M&M, Amaretto, nougat and stracciatella. Not that you could taste them individually.
T is for Toddler.
U is for Unique. This is the only Cold Stone creamery in Europe apparently. I'd have been more excited about it had I not already seen one in Florida.
V is for Video Camera. Although only because S was already taken and I couldn't think of another way to describe Sellotape.
W is for Will. Again, obvious alternative W-words spring to mind.
X is for Xenophobe. He is the one wearing a ridiculous jacket.
Y is for Yo' Yo' Yo'.
Z is for ZZZZZZZZZZ
A is for A building. Ahem, an Arabian Abode!

Sextuple Post! Unexpectedly soon after Day 4, Here is the final day of the Euro-Live, we're at Hansa Park and once again, things have gone a little bit A Midsummer Night's Dream.
It was the last day of July, and all around people were sad. Obviously, this is not based on me alone as me looking sad is nothing unusual.
See, Will is sad too. Admittedly Tom isn't. And they are eternal pessimists and optimists repeatedly, but we'll find some evidence.
Aha, a miserable Ollie, what does a toddler have to be miserable about?
Sad Brad.
"Please, get me away from these people, preferably somewhere abroad."
Ali is also sad.
In fact there's a theme occuring.
Chris, the resident wannabe ninja was sad too...
But his display of epic ninja skillz cheered people up...
Here he is blocking Dave's exorcist moment.
But even being possessed by the Devil isn't enough to make 10 Watt sad.
This probably is though.
Steven has a new Best Friend Forever. It never rains but it pours...
Furius 10Watt.
Pierre had a message for Dave though.
The best of times. The worst of times. (From left to right?)
It's clear to see what makes Pierre so attractive though...
He certainly caught one impressionable youngster's eye.
Here's a shot of Nessie's Couples train.
Pierre at least seems happy enough.
Matt meanwhile, has a tough decision to make...
Ei-ni-me-ne-mi-ne-mo
If it squeals, let it go
Suddenly, something caught Neal's attention...
Calling on Brad and Aidan, he investigated this startling development.
OMG! It's Midget Will!
Midget Will says hello.
"hello"
see!
Never mind all that though, Neal had a similar problem to Matt...
Although at least he could remove his horrible orange garb if required...
Could this be the sign that a decision has been reached?
Maybe he should sleep on it
Morning and yet another change of mind
But finally, a resolution of sorts for Neal.
Clearly Neal's not the only one smitten with Marc.
Although oddly enough, Jordan's imperious curse like abilities didn't work on Marc.
Although in the confusion, Neal was left alone and disorientated
However, Ali was delighted to see Neal alone, as he could now move in...
And recruit another member to his band.
Jerry meanwhile, keeps clear of the whole situation by favouring to ride only with Danes.
Having first checked they weren't carrying axes, and that they didn't have large ginger beards. (Although ginger beer would be acceptable).
Manda ended up confused by all the complicated CF relationships, but was pleased to see that in the end, everybody lived happily ever after.
Or did they?
