Yes, Bing and I arrived in The Netherlands.
Traffic UK side was rather bad with the closure of the M20. Train was only 20 minutes late, glorious weather.
Can't load the pictures as I only have my phone with me.

Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
Been here for hours - we're on holiday, so posting on the forum is low priority
Took a while to get to Calais this morning with all the traffic backed up, but we made our train with plenty time. Parked up prior to boarding :
And in the train :
First time I've been on Le Shuttle - sadly it didn't get any more exciting than that, as today is kind of like the drive to the meet point, so just loooooong motorway miles. On the plus side, I didn't crash, we didn't get stopped by the fuzz, it was sunny all the way (my arms are burnt ), and I got 28.2mpg
My car is at PVRs parents (at least it had better be there, stationary... Or someone is dead meat ), and Wee Bing and I have had dinner and are back at the hotel in the centre of town. JaxZ4, Tom & ZermattV are on a ferry somewhere in the North Sea and we *think* we're meeting them about 45mins away at 1200 tomorrow... Though nobody answered when we asked. Winging it, as usual
Then it's 'Bahn Time

Some good driving today and stretched the legs for the first time in this car
Not complaining about the weather either. 27-28c, very lucky.

Right off to bed - got to be up at stupid o'clock tomorrow for the Route 500 and into Stuttgart for 09:30 and we are not going the short route in .
but as Paul says we stretched some legs today on the Autobahn - its impossible to overstate how good the Boxter S exhaust of Jax sounds with the sports exhaust , How great it is to have an S54 along
so far we have had epic weather since arriving this morning .
