Congratulations, very nice.

Did that last year - was fantastic 😎
You’ll have a great time!

Do post if you have any elements of the trip you’d like feedback on - Eurotunnel “high vehicle” and a couple of suit bags hung behind the seats to take lots of clothes and keep them free from grime are good ones.
I also pre-programmed each step in the satnav as you do need to fiddle about changing countries a few times.

Amazing how many small spaces you can find to get one more bottle of wine and fizz in the boot 😉

For now just enjoy the car and the chances to go topless in this mild weather.
...unless you’ve spent the last 4 days in bed with flu like me 🤒

Lunar, you've peaked my interest with the Eurotunnel "high vehicle" comment - can you explain please? :)

If you book your ticket as a high vehicle it costs no more but means you stay on the lower deck, which is wider - whereas normal cars have to drive up the steel sided ramps and risk curbing their wheels or scraping chin spoilers.

When I did it I was the lowest high car in the queue :D

A lot of more exotic and low riding cars do this and in my case we seemed to load and unload quicker too. We just got a nice smile for the car and waved on.

As if driving an F-Type doesn’t make you smile enough anyway, watching the faces of the BM / Audi / Merc and SUV crew as you drive past with the camper vans is a hilariously good way to start your journey :D

...I’m sure it was gestures of appreciation at my headroom measuring mime ;)
