Left the convey about 15mins ago now eating a chav's breakfast at Maidstone services. What a way to spend a Easter Monday morning, my head is still spinning. Nige's new 'zoorst is heaven and well worth early morning wakeup.

That is going to one hell of a trip, enjoy.

Sonny!!
Thought you were travelling out earlier?? :P

Didn't realise the plan. Trouble with not reading the whole thread. We needed to stop and give Rich/Amanda the vidcam, but that didn't bloody work did it! lol.

Was good to see the cars in the tunnel, on that sedate little cruise. DK won the noise competition - damn rude. :clap:

So me, Patrick (with Rich's better half Helen), and Rich/Panda had a little blat down to Folkestone, and had a couple of runs through the tunnel which was nice. Then we waited for Nige, DK, Dave, Amar, Bam Bam, et al to go through the tunnels again.

We heard Nige etc long before we saw them...
We joined the procession with me up front as I was hoping to record the jaunt through the tunnel, but turned out the recording didn't happen - think it was a symptom of a HDD camera - the recording got jolted off?! :evil:
I slowed down as I approach the tunnel, Patrickl went off, Amanda went off and sounded ace, then I think it was DK, followed by a few others in a bit of a blur.
Nige got passed just before the end of the tunnel.

Must have looked and sounded amazing for any other traffic there.

Must say I saw alot of Polissssss out this morning :roll:

Anyway, have a great trip guys. I guess by now you're at the RV outside Calais...

:salute:

Regular updates please...

B5 RS4 - now sold.

Stumps, I passed you at the end of the tunnel and kept on going towards Luuundon.
One of the better early morning jaunts I've had, shame you lot couldn't have joined up earlier, there were some top runs. The C6s were walking over everything, bastards.
No matter where you go, there you are.
