Why did you let me drive on then after we spotted one another on the A1 last evening After all I had the tools and a new belt in the boot too !! It could have been worse, it could have happened on the other side of the channel I suppose. Brian |

Hi everyone
Thanks to everyone,especially Ian and trikey for making this trip so special : Loved the time in Holland and finally putting faces to everyone we met. Great crowd! Journey home was a smooth one, apart from Dartford tunnel and the A1 shut at Bawtry. (Did anyone notice the poor road surface on the A1 compared with the Dutch/ Belgian and French roads) Total journey time 13.5 hours: Total mileage yesterday 475 all on 2/3 of a tank. I'll work out mpg later, but it must be well over 50. Basic club means no gizmo's like the rest of you! Rob and jeanette Last edited by robbrooks; 24th September 2019 at 09:58.. |

We have just abandoned it there and he is going to get it recovered. It also spat the belt off as we went to set off again. They came home with us so got home a lot later than expected. Great weekend tho , and it's something to talk about in years to come. Gary. Last edited by LotusLC; 24th September 2019 at 08:11.. |

Well we made it home just after 21:00 last night, 740 miles covered without issue, I actually prefer driving on the European roads (Even when I manage to get us all lost 🤣
I just want to say a massive thanks to everyone who made the trip, the Dutch folk who made us all very welcome, and of course Ian and Jan for their hard work and time in organising this little jaunt. This was for us, the best meet we have attended without exception, and to echo what Brian has said, it doesn’t matter one jot about the cars, it’s about the friendships that just keep getting stronger. Sept 2020 anyone?
