Moring breaks. Weary and unwashed bodies wander around the train. Some were even members of our group.
Frank brings breakfast which is a joy. Croissant in a plastic bag, a cup of brown-warm and a few assorted packets of jam type stuff.
Ralph appears, whilst getting dressed this morning (there really is not enough room in a cabin for two world-class lunchers like Ralph and James) when the dividing door slides open exposing Ralph to an elderly lady in the adjoining cabin, and of course vice versa. Luckily, being a fluent European linguist he was able to apologize and gloss over the incident. Rumor has it that subsequently Ralph was not able to face the croissant in a plastic bag.
The train arrived two minutes late into Dusseldorf, cars are recovered all safe and sound and we head off to Calais. Push on through some very heavy rain and arrive at chunnel 2hrs early to eat my last ham&cheese baguette.
Drive home uneventful, Friday eve rush hour slow but ok.
Team TVR parks up at home at 6PM after driving a total of 2,330 miles and having a fabulous adventure with great mates.
We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s good to be home.
The file attached shows the full route of Teams TVR, Porsche and Maserati. Team Ferrari travelled to and from Brescia a slightly different way.
Cheers
Peter
