Yep, but it's like a 1 year waiting list. However if it's raining you may be able to get a cancellation

And another:-


"Belgium is still hot - I pulled in to get fuel yesterday and when I was pulling out a cop clocked my British plate, the M5, gave me an evil stare and 10 mins later I was being tailed by an undercover car (for 25 kms or so!). So the heat still have their panties in a twist."

Thats why I have isle of man plates

They have 98 RON in all countires (apart from Netherlands so don't fill up there).

In Germany you get Shell V Power which is 100 RON min.

Don't worry as soon as I see anything that looks like a bend, I throw an anchor out the window I don't do corners

Twistes, lucky we are not coming off at the Eupen turn off, as I don't think many of us would make it to "the Ring"

Nev, when I come back, I will sort the route ( motorway ) and then we can give it to everybody just incase you go into warp-drive and leave us all in France

PS Quick rack fitted today.........
