Rent of a trailer, euro star return, 1200+ miles of traveling.

And a bit of a thankyou for whoever does it, surely it's cheaper to get a dodgy Frenchman to do it.

Not sure phone and ask.

Sometimes it's same day, but you pay for it, but mostly it takes a while.

Okay guys, I can do this. I have no commitments, I have money to get there, and I have a passport. Completely serious, I will drive to Lyon now, as long as someone can cover ferry expenses and some fuel costs. I have a reliable car too so will have no issues in that sense.

Ring or text me and I can be on a ferry this evening.

You can hire a beaver tail for under £100 and drive it on a car license. Did it a month or so ago when I bought the blaze '6. I'd do it but I'm in Norfolk so you're looking at £80 in diesel to just get to Dover..

Can you meet me somewhere more south? Anywhere in Essex maybe? I can pick up from there... Chelmsford? Somewhere on the A12?
