Essential spares 6 months in Europe
Discussion
I am due to bring my Cerb over here to Germany at the start of April, hopefully the weather will be ok for it then. I am going to keep it here for around 6 months, so I should be covering a few miles in that time, Frankfurt to Le mans in June also.
What spares would you guys recommend I take with me, something is going to give up, it always does.
big fuse, oil, bulbs, fuses, anything else?

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much, it will be just the same as driving here for 6 months. Give it a service before you go, and treat it just the same as if you were back driving over here, and enjoy yourself.
Oh, and make sure you show all those Porsche owners, just what Blackpool's finest is capable of

A full set of bulbs is a legal requirement, at least in France though I believe also in Germany. As is a hi-vis vest that you can reach from inside the car. I always also carry a basic tool kit, cable ties, tyre inflator foam, and a survival blanket and duct tape. Other than servicing before you leave, its hard to guess what specific parts you might need, and at the worst you are only a couple of days mail order away from the usual suppliers.
Chris, Vielen Dank for your work today. Much appreciated.
Yes showing a few porkers up will be good, there are so many over here.
I am sure the local plod will also take an interest in the noisy, flame spitting, plastic fantastic though.
So it is a legal requirement to carry a bulb set and a floro jacket, thats good to know, cheers.

You can source most of the Cerbera parts mentioned within one day over here.
Just let me know if you break down. Can give you my number via PN if you need.
You are supposed to carry a vest, first aid kit, warning triangle and that´s it. It would make sense to carry some bits and bobs with you though. Cable ties, toolkit, tape, fuses, air compressor for cigar lighter and bulbs for example. That should cover the most common breakdown reasons.
It will not help in the case of a lost valve seat as happened to me last year...
Regards,
Björn.
