Yesterday I thought it'd be cool to drive all around Europe, so I booked tickets for the ferry to France.
I am now getting ready for the 15.40 sailing from Dover today, and will be spending the next 4 days driving around Europe in my trusty Dturbo.
I can't wait!

I hope you are proficient in a variety of languages! How did it feel driving on the right hand side? Did you get used to it? What was the fastest you drove on the autobahn?

Just under a grand I think, didn't really budget for it. Could have been cheaper but thrashing it on the motorways/Autobahn really did eat fuel.

Around that amount, yeah.

Split one of the fuel lines coming down from the tank, but that's fixed now. It was a minor leak and drove over 800 miles with it ruptured.

Got her up to 124, only the gearing limiting it further, plus the temperature needle was visibly going up to over 100'c, so I lifted off at that point!
