Rolling with laughter
Hijacked thread (sorry Barn1e) Embarassed
I'll start a new post in a sec if I cant find an existing one. If someone has a list of sensibly priced spares/fluids/other than obvious tools etc. (not Euro requirements) to take on holidays I'd be interested.

All cleaned up

Going to a wedding at the weekend so decided to give her the clay bar, polish and wax treatment a bit early. Looks good for her age

The simple ideas are sometimes the best - especially using phone.

Indeed - It was cheaper to fill up over here than France yesterday - the cheapest basic diesel was €1.35 over there.

Just had a look at a few random autoroute prices on the Fuelo app, top (but not by much) was €1.579/£1.38 so on a par with our motorways. Not that I do mway fuel. Will make the most of German (€1.159/£1.01) & Polish (PLZ4.65/£0.965) fuel before Sweden. Mr. Green Mr. Green

Warmed up nicely to 27degrees at Guingicourt where we stop for the night beside the Aisne river. Short stroll along river in morning for croissant.
