The Geneva International Motor Show is always full of concept cars. Although most of them will never go into production, "concept-cars" herald the trends that can be expected in the automotive industry in the coming years. In short, it is from them that we can try to predict the future. Skoda, so far known for its conservative style, surprised the Geneva audience with the Vision C model. Although this car will not go into production, according to brand representatives, it shows the direction in which the design of Skoda cars will go in the coming years. No more modesty, no more consent to play the role of a worse brother of Volkswagen or Audi. Skoda also wants to have a more expressive, emotional style and the Vision C is to be a preview of this. Now we are waiting for evidence that there will be deeds behind bold ideas, and new Skoda models will be available for sale, stylistically referring to the vision marked with the letter C.

Throw in a few premieres that ordinary mortals are waiting for, and then flood them with a fat and dense mass of concept vehicles - this could be the recipe for the Geneva International Motor Show. Camprest.com extracted some dried fruit from the risen dough of Geneva 2014. Among the brands presenting "ordinary" cars that we will definitely see on European streets, Audi is worth paying attention to. The German manufacturer refreshes its entire range of models.

Sometimes we want to go on a trip, short, casual, close and interesting. She learns about such places from friends, sometimes she comes across them by accident. We are happy to drop off a few such places in Silesia. We hope that, in return, someone will describe their region or give us a nice place in our area. We will start with the letter B, b for. Będzin - is our Christmas discovery, the weather was good, so after a family dinner we decided to take a walk. We drove to the very top of the hill, up to the playground for children, you can get there by driving along the walls of the old cemetery. Playground for children of all ages (even those in their thirties will find something for themselves) nice and intimate, enough equipment for a large number of children (slides, swings, spiders, rocks, and even a mini stage). From the square, you can walk to the castle hill along very well-lit paths, walk the reconstructed rampart and see the dugouts. You can see the castle in the background of the city from above, it is also worth visiting the church of St. Trinity, which is also nice to walk around and end the trip under the airline shelter in the basement of the hill (you need to make an appointment in advance by phone from Monday to Friday at 32 267 77 07, on Saturdays and Sundays at 32 267 47 31, more information about Bedzin and the undergrounds http://www.muzeum.bedzin.pl/ ).

The distance between the Maramures Mountains and the good Polish Bieszczady is only 150 km in a straight line. This Romanian region is so culturally different from what we know every day that it is impossible to forget the views seen there. Maramures is an exotic sounding name for a region located in an equally exotic country, or rather on the border of two countries. The northern part belongs to Ukraine, while the rest belongs to Romania. Moreover, Maramures, also known as Maramures, enters Transylvania administratively, which gives it even more mystery. After all, these lands are shrouded in the legend of the terrifying Dracula, and the gloomy peaks of the Carpathians give the impression that they remember more than one chilling history.

South Tyrol is beautiful all year round. The varied landscape consists of wide, picturesque valleys, sunny plateaus and green hills. Over 1.6 thousand farm invites you to the region for the holiday of a lifetime. In the largest Polish cities, spring ruthlessly exposed balconies dirty with smog. In smartphone applications, you can check the level of air pollution and see in which areas it is better not to run, because it is not good for your health. And the point is not that you can get rid of your wallet in them, and with even more bad luck a few teeth, but about letting air into your lungs, which is far from a sea breeze.

Introduction word: This is our first report and at the same time such a long journey, so we will start with a few words of the introduction in which we will tell who we are and where our teaser for exploring the world in the bus came from. We are students of the 3rd year of Tourism and Recreation at the University of Physical Education in Katowice. Our fascination, or rather Bartek who infected us with it, started already in his childhood when he saw the Scooby Doo cartoon and their "The Mystery Machine" on TV for the first time, then he began to dream of his own bus in which he could travel the world and experience various adventures like the Scooby Doo crew. After a dozen or so years, he woke up and took matters into his own hands, passed his driving license and started to get a part-time job, thanks to which he managed to save a little money for his dream van. Initially, it was supposed to be a VW T1 or T2, unfortunately, after researching the market and counting the costs of buying a car and parts needed for it, the enthusiasm decreased significantly ... but finding the busikt3.radom.pl forum by accident, where he saw the T3 bus immediately caught his eye. Bartek has always liked square cars, he had many golfers and II fans of which he was a fan, so it didn't take him much time to fall in love with a classic square ... he literally just took one photo and a few seconds. The first step to making dreams come true was a long search for the desired house on wheels, half a year of searching, hundreds of advertisements, dozens of phone calls and the t3 bus forum came to help again. We managed to buy a bus literally under the nose, it turned out that only 200m from the place where Bartosz's girlfriend lived, there was a card that met all his requirements, so at the very beginning of February a bus appeared in the yard;) The plans for renovation of the bus and planning the next vacation. The choice fell on a tour of southern Europe because none of us had ever been to Croatia. However, after a dozen or so weeks, traveling a bit around Poland, it turned out that the 1.6TD unit does not cope well with long climbs, and that we love active recreation, especially in the mountains, it turned out to be a change of the busik's heart to a stronger one ... and again the long search for a suitable donor for Tripciak (this is how our T-3 was named). After a long moment of reflection and consultation with Qdaty and Robert, who already had the 1.9TDI swap behind them, we decided that it would be better to buy the whole car, take out what is needed and sell the rest than to complete all parts separately. After 3 months of searching forums and internet auctions, seeing a dozen cars that turned out to be scrap metal, Bartek, returning from university, accidentally noticed a golf 3 standing in the back of the estate with a note for sale. Unfortunately, its visual condition asked for vengeance to heaven, and the car looked as if it was begging for scrapping ... a thought immediately comes to mind - if the car is so run down and eaten by rust, it will be a mechanical disaster, in addition, this exaggerated price ... but what's the problem for me to call and arrange a visual inspection, in the end I have already had so much search, and here the car is under my nose. In a few days it was time to inspect it and, surprisingly, it turned out that the poor condition of the bodywork resulted from the fact that the car was in a warm, damp garage in the winter for half a year in a warm, damp garage where salt could easily penetrate the sheet metal because the owner often left on a business trip for several months and did not even have time to rinse the car. from salt ... but its mechanical condition turned out to be very good, the engine had no leaks, the turbo did not smoke, the car was dynamic after zvagowania did not vomit errors ... it was what we were looking for ... it was time for negotiations in which we had to make the owner aware that no one will give him that much, luckily for us, after the negotiations, we managed to cut a lot from the price and this is how Tripciak gained a dose of heart. Busik landed with Qdate and Robert, who did a good and solid job, so on the day after the swap, we could go on a journey, crushed by the leaves from work.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a famous climatic health resort known as the winter capital of Germany. Every year they are visited by skiing enthusiasts and people who want to heal respiratory diseases. In southern Germany, at the foot of the Alps, there is a famous health resort and an even more famous ski resort - the Garmisch-Partenkirchen resort. It is one of the fastest growing towns in Bavaria, but it does not have the status of a city. Nevertheless, it easily gained the fame of the winter capital of Germany, which it enjoys to this day.

In mid-April 2011, we went to Vesta for a week-long trip to Paris. The days were already warm and the nights were so short that we decided to go where we had not been before. We found a nice campsite in the boulevard forest http://www.campingparis.fr/tarifs_camping.php well equipped, maybe just too close to the road. We wanted to be close to the center to be able to walk to the city. You can, of course, take a bus - even from the campsite, but only until noon. On the day of our arrival we went to see Paris by night, we did not read in the guide that you should not enter the Bouillon Park at night - during the day yes, no at night! We have not seen such great prostitutes in our life, they were mutants lurking on every scrap of the earth, crawling out of the darkness, just like their clientele - the fact that the traffic in business was good, we were a bit surprised by tents set up for a known purpose, but let's not go into the details. We watched around 11.00 pm when the Eiffel Tower lights up with 292,000 watts, and we walked back to the campsite along the road, no shortcuts through the dark park.

Most motorhomes are equipped with diesel engines. And there is a lot of "folk wisdom" about using diesel cars in winter. Not all of them need to be believed. The less fuel in the tank, the greater the chance of condensation in it. In winter, this can mean serious problems. Also, when we refuel the car frequently, adding little fuel each time, we increase the risk of air getting into the tank. The air condenses to water, the water turns to ice, and the fuel filter or fuel line is blocked. More water is also a risk to the fuel pump and injection system.

On the Camprest.com Facebook profile, we published a post asking for feedback on taking B96 and B + E driving examinations. This topic provoked our readers to a discussion which is proof of how complex the current system of vehicle categories is. You can read the discussion here . Łukasz Książek was the first to comment - he said, "Today's regulations do not require the B + E license if the permissible total weight of the vehicle does not exceed 3500 kg and the GVM (permissible total weight - editor's note) of the towed vehicle (e.g. a trailer). ) does not exceed the DMC of the towing vehicle. To sum up, the GVM of a set of vehicles, i.e. a car with a trailer, may not exceed 6999 kg and the driving license B alone is sufficient for such a set. ".

The bonfire is not only the focal point of an evening party with friends, providing warmth and a great atmosphere. It can also be used as a cooking area. If we take a barbecue with us when going camping, the only problem is the choice of dishes to be prepared on it. However, if we have the so-called Dutch oven, we can think about organizing an atmospheric evening by the fire, where we will prepare a special meal. The first step in the open-air cooking stage is finding the perfect wood. Hardwood is best for this purpose. If it is not at the campsite itself, it will probably be available at the nearest store. It's a bad idea to cut branches - trying to light a fire with "live" and green wood will end up with a lot of smoke. Apart from releasing many pollutants into the atmosphere, it will spoil such a well-planned evening.
