desperate dave needs help .... cry
We would ideally wish for someone to drive a volvo estate automatic (two empty front seats only) from le mans, after the frivolities, to dover.
The flexible speedferries crossing is paid for, and we need the car to be parked up in dover, just two miles from the terminal, and along the A2.
We will obviously pay for the fuel, coffee, sarnies, meal on ferry etc.
We may even run to a little financial reward.
Many thanks for your time.

Have quite a few in our party who might fancy the drive back instead of being a passenger.

Only trouble is Dover as we're on Speed ferries :lol: (some driving back on the Monday via Calais/Dover though).

What date Sunday or Monday and how are you covering insurance?

"Is this yours sir....."
"No, honest, I'm doing this guy on PH a favour." hehe
