Have you bought a bargain motor this year Dave or are you going in more exclusive transport?

Unfortunately not Rob. This year due to me doing a late night run I have erred on the side of caution and am going in my everyday car, the blue mini in the pictures.

The £50 merc still lives strong in my heart, and next year should provide the oportunity to do the trip in real style again. Although i did get very close to buying a £250 cadillac last month, but i thought of breaking down in the middle of france at 3am and i didn't do it........Shame on me.

Probably a wise move given the level of breakdowns already going on

Oi Dave, just seen your team stripes, this year when you overtake me driving home from Dover on Monday afternoon please acknoledge me.
Last year you totally ignored me even though I have a bloody great CA sticker in my back window

[Robspot]

That's because you camp in the annexe

There couldn't have been that much dust on my car that he didn't see me.

Hhhhhhmmmmm, well yeh maybe there was.

You MBers with your tarmac roads you don't know you're born
