Went to France last week for a little holiday and found a nice spot for some pics of the car.

Had a nightmare the morning we went.. Got a puncture the night before so went to put the spare on in the morning and its damaged So drove it a mile down the road to the garage in the morning for a new tyre. (pumped it up before going) They take the wheel off and a bolt shears in the hub, woop. So it was rolling on 4 studs instead of 5 for the holiday. Its now due a service which is booked at Seat, the hub needs something doing with it, the spare wheel needs repairing expensive 2 weeks! Then on the euro tunnel, found out the cigarette lighter wasn't working, meaning the sat nav wasn't charging and it was about to die! Luckily it was just a fuse otherwise i'd have been screwed!

Anyway the pics :









Big wave!!



Nothing amazing but i like the location

Where abouts did you go? How much did tunnel cost?

It worked about double what the ferry was for me last week! I would rather waste and extra hour and fill a tank and a half for free

Me and the other half get very sea sick which is why we took the tunnel
Cost £157 for the tunnel. Did 960 miles and spent £160 ish on fuel.

We went to bayeux in normandy to go to all the war museums and cemetries and stuff, loved it.
