Our World Cup blog starts for real when we leave England for Germany on 7 July, but don鈥檛 for a moment think that we haven鈥檛 already been busy.
Martin and I will travel around Germany in a mobile home and with this in mind recently went on a day鈥檚 driver training with one of the best in the business 鈥 Ronny Mapes.
鈥淩onny,鈥 said Ronny, 鈥渉as a saying for everything.鈥 And he really wasn鈥檛 joking.
鈥淚f its clear grab a gear鈥, 鈥淏rakes to slow, gears to go鈥 and 鈥淢ore paint, more danger鈥, are just a selection of Mapes wisdom.
We met at a car park off the A3 south of London early in the morning and for the next few hours learnt how to drive the Ronny way.
