Paul, I admire you for driving your car in the rain with no top and also because the power-to-weight ratio makes dry weather driving a challenge.

The sound going through the Chunnul must have been interesting.
Either brave or stupid. I have Goodyear "Billboards" fitted and they are superb in the wet and instill great confidence.

I went across to France on a ferry, but I have used the "chunnel" on numerous occasions. However, I think you have misunderstood how the channel tunnel works. You can't drive through it unfortunately, you can only get through on a train. Either as a car passenger, where you drive onto the train or as a foot passenger on the EuroStar. The EuroStar can take you direct from London to destinations on the continent, including Paris.

There is certainly something different with the leather on my car. Whether it is isolated to my car or representative of all later cars, I couldn't yet say.

Paul
