Having been a smug git .. payback today
Light out at the front .. so what a bitch that was to get to it
And then as I’m the only one getting a ferry I saw the weather forecast
Hey ho that will teach me

Ron fret not long sorted….ronk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 3:13 pmWhat about your UK sticker?
Driving outside the UK
If your number plate includes the UK identifier with the Union flag (also known as the Union Jack), you do not need a UK sticker.
However, you will need to display a UK sticker clearly on the rear of your vehicle if your number plate has any of the following:
a GB identifier with the Union flag
a Euro symbol
a national flag of England, Scotland or Wales
numbers and letters only - no flag or identifier
If you’re in Spain, Cyprus or Malta, you must display a UK sticker no matter what is on your number plate
Will fit at the Chunnel to avoid carrying excess weight …
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

We Brits aren’t exactly the flavour of the month in France and Spain
I bought over stickers for my Euro GB plates

If the local police confiscate your passport for an alleged misdemeanour you can still leave the country using another…
You can go through the EU nationals channel rather than being humiliated as a Brit
Certain countries have more relaxed ie no visa requirements..
For this trip I’ll take just two..
Spending time with a 35i, previous convictions: Fiat 20V Turbo Coupe, TVR Chimera, Jaguar XKR, Porsche 997 C4S

I’d say he’s not clocking up his 90 days in the shengen zone
As an aside my wife’s sister lives in the USA and has an EU and a US passport .. she always enters the EU on her EU passport and on arrival back in the states lines up with the US passport
Does make things easier for her

The trip south begins…
Day 1 Scottish Borders to East Bridgeford down the A68 A1…stayed with our old neighbours…over 50 Porksters, Lambos, Ferraris etc coming the opposite way on the A68…
Dreadfully dull drive to Maidstone to rendezvous with Argyll Andy…so so glad I moved to Scotland….
Car very unhappy running on badly repaired roads at 40-60 mph in crawling traffic..
Tomorrow lunch time Chunnel train and then onto Le Crotoy near Abbeville..

I agree Peter, that 300 mile drag to the south coast is a pita
My Euro trips these days start at the Port of Tyne (DFDS) thus avoiding uk roads and arriving in Europe after a relaxing overnight crossing
It’s a much more civilised and stress free way to start and end a holiday.
I’m too old to rough it these days!
