Road Trip Prep

I tend to fill it with petrol and then fill my wallet with money for the subsequent fills. You shouldn't need to prepare a well maintained car.

Any form of speed camera warning system is now illegal in France, that includes Sat Nav's.

That's not true mate. Sat Nav's and Speed Camera GPS with new datas are legal if they came with a certificate of conformity.

"en accord avec le protocole signé le 28 juillet 2011 entre le Ministère de l'Intérieur de l'AFFTAC*, les Assistants d'Aide à la Conduite ayant bénéficié d'une mise à jour répondent parfaitement à la nouvelle législation en vigueur et sont par conséquent 100% légaux."

Dear god man! All the way into France and you come back with a boot full of cooking oil? Where is your vin rouge? Where is the foie gras? Where are the onions and stripy jumpers?!?

In all seriousness, well done on a successful trip. I imagine you feel much more "at one" with your P38 now. Any hiccups en route?

LOL the oil was put in the fuel tank before setting off! and the wine was on the back seats on the trip home

and yes, I hit the bump stops and had to plug the laptop in and clear a fault, but other than that everything was good, didn't lose any oil or water that's the important part
