We're on P&O Dover-Calais just after 9am so might see you enroute. Got a support van this year but will have a few blats no doubt when the roads clear.

Excellent.

Lets bookmark this thread, I'll re-up it every couple of weeks and then let's swap details the week before and catch up in the car park before the crossing.

Planning on making the most of the drive there (maybe north coast then down to rouen) N138 etc and then a cruise back on the main autoroute coming home.

N138, my previous post on that thread;

"No more N138 for me, endless roundabouts, patienly looking for an overtake opportunity only to end up behind another local in 30 seconds. I wait all year for that blat, thinking about hitting the limiter."

feel like i ought to do the N138, but i like going fast without looking in to the lights of an oncoming frenchman.

We're on the 7:55am P&O Ferry on the wednesday so may see you on route!

The N138 was empty on the Wednesday last year, not like the Thursday the year before it was packed with Lemans goers!

All this talk about gendarme is making me nervous.
I think it's the N138 for me as suggested. paperbag

6.50am crossing. You'll probably pass us as we won't be going fast.

Metallic blue xk8 convertible with raf roundels on the doors if they turn up in time!

You'd probably have to be going shit off a shovel to catch us up by 2 hours, but I'll keep the video camera at the ready just in case!
