We might needs to organise a whip-round.
Unless, of course, Russ produces some commemorative stickers...

Thanks for your comments chaps and believe me we do need the roofbox, partly due to tools and spares but Russ almost brought the kitchen sink!! The price of petrol is actually slightly less in France Will and the car is giving reasonable economy with the open roads and modest speeds - over 450 miles on a full tank! Regards, Matthew T.

Well we have just finished our first day although the event itself actually starts tomorrow. The morning was spent driving from Le Havre to the first campsite at Neufchatel and then food shopping for lunch etc. In the afternoon a visit was made to Frederic near Amien that Will had recently seen with an impressive collection of V6 XM including several Multimedia. During tomorrow we head south to Gien but here are some photos of today. With regards, Matthew T.

I'm surprised You went from Portsmouth to Le-Havre, then to Rosenvillers. Why not go from Dover-Calais?
I was only thinking about Frederick the other day. he said he had some strut tops for me...

Keep that accelerator on the floor!
An you won't need any spare parts, I bet. I never do so and don't even bring them so I can't see why you would. V6's are the very very best of XM's, aren't they!
Kitchen sink ha, yeah but only as long as the cooking is exceptional! you've got all the ingredients at hand in any food store! It will, take time though hence my suggestion to keep that accelerator on the floor but watch out for speed checks! Happy days, hope no rain will meet your windscreen wipers or worse..
