Final days

Well everything finally comes to an end so here's just a few piccies from the end. There's one of Maurice asleep with son Robin giving the thumbs up and below is the site we were staying at.

Next is Jonny in the coupe. Dad had never seen the car going along before so this was an ideal time to show him what it looked like.

The train home

And finally. The last two piccies of the sedan with the funny wheels. Long story. We'd opted to take the car train back across France to cut down the miles a little bit but there was a height restriction. Carl's sedan was too tall to go on the bottom deck so we had planned to lower it a bit when be got there.

What we didn't expect was that the train controller wouldn't accept that the car could be brought down and even once we'd got it to the right height he still wouldn't let it on the train. Lets just put this into perspective: He was arguing over 2cm and was adamant that the height was 1.8m when it was 1.78m on our paperwork. We had the car under the mark too!!! So we knocked a few more inches out by taking out the spring shackles and using an odd assortment of everyone's spare wheels!

Grrrrrr! Bloody French!

So that's about it. We all tucked into a roast dinner on the boat and back in England unexpectedly went our own ways when the roads separated. Strange feeling having no rods around you all of a sudden. Difficult to explain.
