So far, so good!
We're all bedded down safely in Dijon. No incidents to report.:nonod:
So that's 750 miles done and 0ne ferry crossing. A few people tried an alternative route for a short time but we all ended up at the same motel at roughly the same time :broon:
My 'O' level French was resurrected to impress the French Restaurant staff, mon Dieu, la plume de ma tante! La livre est sur la table.:rofl:

Glad all is well. David, after reading 50Shades, my missis reckons that O level French may have another meaning....... :beer: :whistle: :whistle:

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Hello guys, yesterday was a fantastic day and it was a pleasure meeting you all .... all those who managed to arrive!
I can find the clutch in 4 hours of ordering for 380 euro ( :omg: ).
the wheel bearing within a couple of hours for 103 euro ( :dry: ).
I only have a small garage without bridge, but all my works I get them in there, with crick and stands.

Peter from Milan
