Morning. Off to France tomorrow via the dreaded Dover on a Renault parts run, Lille, Paris, Le Mans and Tours.

Anyone near the port care to give me a traffic/mayhem update?

Im expecting it to be normal mid week…here’s hoping

Morning all, meant to be on site today but my back is not good. I think another day taking it easy will help.

Have fun all…

Hello everyone!
I haven't got far enough to work out what's going on today, but I'm sure I'll be kept busy and in mischief.
HapPea Monday! xXx

I did Newhaven-Dieppe, longer on the boat but far less crowded and no issues with French Border controls, its DFDS too.

Good Morning everyone...

The M20 was back to normal this morning. Which means 18 miles of 50mph from Junction 8 to 9.
From 9 to the Channel Tunnel was clear.

So normality returns. For now....

Morning all. Great long weekend (took Friday off and missed being stuck on the M20 for 6 hours like a neighbour trying to get from Ashford to Hythe).

The only down side was some **** drove into my car and drove off whilst it was parked in a sleepy village, which was being used as a short cut for people trying to get to Dover or the Channel Tunnel.
Got the assessors to look at it this morning and they advised that they are booking some repairs in for October due to parts shortages!

Today involves invoicing (always a pleasure) and learning about Tax Equity laws via a call with my lawyer in Chicago. Should be the first time ever that tax laws will be interesting!

St. Bin has been smiling on me today. Last week he took my black wheelie bin, never to be seen again. This morning I have received what may be a new and perfect black wheelie bin.

Last time I was in Tours there was a massive Police chase going on through the streets. It was like a scene from Starsky and Hutch…

Sorry, I’ve only just spotted your message. The roads are running ok now. The M20 has a 50mph speed limit from Junction 8 to 9, but heading south there aren’t any speed cameras. Check Waze 2 hrs before you are due to set off!

Morning Andy and everyone.
Got the transmission back in my Jaguar yesterday after a couple of minor maintenance issues now sorted.
That's a workout a for sure on your own and certainly slept well.
Just the chore of getting the new fluid back in the box why they removed filler tubes and a dip stick is beyond me.
The health and safety sheet warns you not to get the fluid on your skin a sheer impossibility and I stunk of the stuff last night.
Have a great day all.

Morning all, maximum Ibrufen dose seems to be kicking in and hopefully I can move a little more today. If I can I have some jobs to get done later.

Have fun all…
