Well, after a long day yesterday I finally arrived home at 0600 thi smorning - The drive in my van to Bordeaux Airport went well for an hour then BANG rear tyre blow out!!!! Changed that with much cussing. Caught flight to Luton, met pal who took me to his yard where my newly purchased L/C was waiting. Straight off to my mate Bobs funeral in Ruislip, then onto Tesco and the Tunnel. Hit France at 9.30pm then 900km drive to home. Stopped once for 20 min kip and refuel & pee. Only 2 incidents - Trucker dozed off and nearly squished us, and 2nd was 5 min from home - A marauding gang of WILD BOAR decided my shiny L/C would make a good target! Luckily I missed them all, but Dad (who must have been 150kg) just stood in the road thinking about charging! (must have thought he was a Rhino..)
Still home safe and sound averaging 75-80mph all the way, never missed a beat. Now just gotta find a dog guard and bull bar!
