It was me! Naughty I know...

I suppose now My computer is up and running again ( 2 viruses in 2 weeks..given up with Bill Gates altogether and now running Ubuntu..) I'd better finish the story..

Heading away from the 'ring I saw signs for Remagen, so went there to have a look at the remains of the bridge,was a damp foggy morning so couldn't see the other side of the river,but the two towers of the bridge are still there and a good few plaques telling a bit of the story of what happened. carried on up the road after stopping for fuel near Francorchamps, unsure of which language was required.. Pointing seemed to work! I don't speak a word of French, even after having it in school for 2 years.

Decided then I wanted to go home.. dunno if it was homesickness, the thought of another night kipping in the back seat, or what, but I headed for Dunkirk, round the Brussels ring road, watching out for the mad Belgians..their driving is atrocious! Got to Dunkirk to see if I could change my ferry ticket, but could't find a ferry office, had a look around and decided I quite liked the place! Sat on the beach with thoughts of all the soldiers in my head, and what the must have gone through, then sped off down to the Chunnel to see if I could get on the train,just for a change.. Rolled up to the barrier and asked for a price.. 220 Euro's says the man. "**&^%*^" off said I and proceeded to test the W124's turning circle..

Up to Calais, and into the P+O office.. "120 Euro's" says the man.. "^(*&&^( off" says I.. "there is a later ferry, 60 Euros he said".. "many thanks" says I and having time to kill, I went for a look around.. Calais must be the most depressing ferry port ever!! Anyway, on the ferry, off at Dover.. coffee, king size Snickers and hit the road, and before I knew it I was home.. I'd just driven from Koblenz to Fife in 1 go pretty much, no sleep, and no hassles.

Gotta say I love Mercs.. especially ones that cost the same as a good night out!!

Spotted this in Dunkirk.. anyone remember them?? !

19 and a d cup..... hmmm u are talking about the car, arent you lol

I'm very disappointed; I went to the French Chrysler 180 club website in the expectation of seeing more girls in denim skirts. She seems so determined to get close to the thing. All I got were Chryslers....and ugly blokes.

Chrysler 180
