Sherv Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 The Simplon pass,the tactic used by every England football team ,ever. Must be a beautiful trip through those regions,beats going up and down your local high street scaring pensioners with your dump valve Dubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugster Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 As Wifey went into hospital today, the celica was my chosen patient transport. I've been to and fro 3 times today at 30 miles each way. The first trip was a gentle drive at 06.00 with the patient on board - the other 150 miles were a bit less gentle taking local 'fun to drive' countryside back roads that I know well. Only one trip planned for tomorrow, so I'm going to take her Cooper S and try that out and use some of her fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some pictures to post once I'm back in the UK, though those on my Facebook have gotten some previews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublet Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 The ferry was £30 each way. Just had a fabulous dinner in Évian, with a bottle of the water, of course. The French do know how to do fine food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill T Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 £30 each way???? Has the charging criteria changed? Because a few years back that was for 24 hours, if you stayed over for a few days it was hundreds. cheaper than IOW ferry then The Isle of white ferry has always been a rip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
