I live 10 mins from Dover and never use the ferry. Slow and full of kids. Plus you get cars park next to you on the ferry where kids get out and ding your car. I’d rather pay a little bit extra and go eurotunnel.

@edwardvickers5506 Ай бұрын

I agree, live in Canterbury and take the tunnel every time

Oh dear, your trips remind me of many of mine. Got to take the bitter to enjoy the sweet....when they come. Looking forward to next installments, thanks for taking the time to share. I find the 'nornal' element's as interesting and informative as the fun bits. And not many share the bits you do on line. 👍🏻

It was Irish Ferries who brought a VW GTI to Dublin. It was pulling out of a French toll. I took the GTI to the rev limit in 4th. gear. Just over 100 mph for a few seconds. I am not too well, but I still love the GTI. Gerry

Absolutely brilliant. I did the drive round Switzerland a couple of times in 70s and in 1993 and 2000. This has inspired me to go again. As instructed I played Matt Munro - made me LOL

I have a 981 GT4 and never take it abroad because of the stupidly low front splitter. Every French village and town seems to have huge speed bumps even along the main roads so I’ve never dared take the risk. I’m curious to see how you get on although you seem to have skirted through France without coming off the motorway! The lack of front suspension lift is my only criticism of the GT4. I know many will be relaxed about scraping the front but my OCD makes it too painful!!

I never ever use the ferry. The tunnel is worth every penny.

That weather and that detour must have combined to raise the old blood pressure.

Agree with you about Pilot Sport 4s which Joe Achilles recommended to me when my Audi TT Roadster was on Bridgestones , transformed the ride) I saw you at Caffeine and Machine when you attended Joe’s Love You Man event last year but didn’t speak to you afterwards as you were having other conversations

Gt4 or v10 Audi gen 2 2016 no opf ???

@PeterKirton-nu9iv Ай бұрын

I did a very similar route about a month ago from Calais to Carpentras. On a Sunday got diverted for a cycle event( not the Tour de France I think) and the French do not give a dam about giving new directions just road closed signs everywhere and you are on your own

@simonambrose82 Ай бұрын

Get yourself to Centre Gravity for one of their GT4 customer specific chassis tuning sessions. You will not regret it!

@malcolmscott4150 Ай бұрын

Weather and cycling event issues aside the GT4 seems like a practical tourer as far as posh sport coupes go. I hope Kate doesn’t need brave pills for next bit as passenger view in left driving countries can be tortuous on narrow mountain roads - enjoy

Hi Andrew, another great trip in the making. Like you said with the Toll Tag, it has never failed me, it is just we are all apprehensive at the first Toll Plaza. Looks like the the weather in Europe is not great either :-(

Always love you travel videos, this is another fun one.

@My_Auto_Chronicles Ай бұрын

The blurred out speedo says 130 not the rain 110 speed limit 😂😂😂

@kevinclarke9933 Ай бұрын

Careful when the roads are wet. Speed limit becomes automatically reduced.

Screw the Tour De France - boring bloody race. You were right near Les Gets. You should time it to watch the UCI Downhill race there - it's always good!
