6am
Arrived in Dover without incident. Have yet to check oil and water but assured they will be OK.... After all it's only an 18 year old car driving 2k+ in four days. Meh.
9.15am
Nice to see Scooby Doo is as well known in France as it is in Britain although I am still not sure which character 'Merde tete' is.
11am
Arrive at the designated meeting point with the Scooby Doo theme tune blaring......It's amazing how you never get tired of that song.
We're off Paris in just a few short hours but along the way we have to perform a series of challenges.
We have to be photographed with our team number with a series of subjects including
man in a dress (already travelling with one)
Stranger moonying (done, don't ask)
draw a moustache on sleeping team mate (in hand, sorry skinner)
breakdown and steaming car radiator (to come)
Misery has reached a heady top speed of 80mph (130kph French style)
Driver Marcus, who has valiantly driven the whole distance so far - 210 miles - reports cabin pressure ok nothing adverse to report. Smoking engine has reduced to acceptable standards. Cruising Speed increased from 52 to 70 mph. No cause for alarm.
