Dr. C

So you did 1000 odd miles in 18 hours, call it 17 for the bit Dover to France, not bad I guess

We did Lloret-de-Mar to Santander in under 7 hours. Approx 450 miles.

Two things slowed us down. Seven Scoob's all waiting for the single Super pump at most services and Neil's WRX was close to the limiter in top at 130
