Well - to the Ferry anyway.
I was out early and although there was not much evidence of rain overnight there was water. That was under the car unforetuneately.
There was also some on the cross member - so it is leaking from somewhere - but not much. The good news is that it is probably leaking from the small bypass hose from the header tank. We have just over 140 miles to go - so only a little more than yesterday so fingers crossed it holds.
I nipped up the clips before we went as I could see a spot of fluid there. Also Andy G pointed out that the car is sitting a little low at the back - which can't just be the 100k of spares in the boot. So I'll add that to the list.
We were off about 11:00 with Mac's car in the lead and heading for Arnhem museum for a break on the way. We arrived at Arnhem in the rain and wondered why we were the only cars parked there - until we paid for parking - and then we knew why !
We then popped off to the Arnhem museum at Oosterbeek - bigger, better but expensive. Nice car in the 'battlefield experience' though we walked through.
Once back in the road it was a good 120k run but smooth sailing most of the way. The car was stuttering a little al slow speeds when we got to the port perhaps it was the heat ? We joined the queue and had a rest.
Loading was an uncoordinated scramble but we were lucky. This time, before I could ask we were sent to the flat lorry deck again.
Just behind a modern Porsche and in front of a Stratos (must have been a kit) but nice never the less - although the driver was almost as big as the car and laughed with us as we saw him trying to get in.
