So you don't plan on showering then

Or perhaps they are free over at MB?

Just not at the female (and I use that word in vaguest sense) shower attendents - they mike get ideas

Anyone who's used the main shower block in Houx will understand what I mean!

The drive is a a big part of the adventure for us,


If i wasnt towing the groups camping kit, i would love the drive, but my mates/family in the little cars need the essential fridge and genny. You dont get that in a Chimera, or MG / BMW Coupe. So the diesel mostor is unleached on the roads.

Is this a Freudian slip on account of their resemblance to a certain boxer?

And yes. I know exactly what you mean; The novelty of having your legs hosed down as you try and pi$$. Or sloshing under the cubicles when you are trying to squat. And entire French families living in the toilet blocks.

If you will drive something with an engine larger than supertanker!

Even so, our Calais back-road trip this year cost us around 3 tanks of loud-pedal juice, so say around £120 or so at French prices...

I put 6 tanks in my bike, there and back from Beds, via Cherbourg.

Mate used less in his Vectra.

Mind you, I was chasing an RS6 along the dual carriageway at about Mach 0.20
