Boy Racer - it's 22 miles from Dover to Calais. It's more like 1hr20 by ferry, so long as the weather's good and they've taken enough money through the tills in the duty free shop.

Hello all - don't know if this has been mentioned or not already but: Speed Ferries have just had their boat Speed One detained by the port authorities in Boulogne becausse they owe them a shed load of cash. Even if they get it back, they also owe Dover Harbour Board a stack load too, so doubt they'll exist by April 09. 2nd - P&O sail to Calais, not Dunkirk. If you want to go to Dunk then you need Norfolk Line. It takes about 35 minutes longer, but gets you a bit further along the French coast. The Tunnel is by far the quickest, but no guarantee it'll be fully operational again by then

I work for British Immigration - we had a German girl through our port the other day called Fanny Klenner

Cheers fellas - not sure on future plans for it yet. Currently trying to sort out the rattles and squeaks from the interior.

Well - after looking at about 6 or 7 different 4motions, I finally got one: Stuff you can't see from this photo - 2000 X heated leather Recarros, R32 interior trim (no walnut) including gear knob, Polo rear wiper, Anni rear spoiler, "privacy" glass all round - 62k and managed 33mpg on the trip home!

Nice one - cheers. I'm going to look at one on Saturday - no Recaro's, but only 47k on the tax cheap x reg too!!

I currently own a mk2 8V GTI - as it's becoming more unreliable and I'm having to drive more miles to/from work I've been looking into getting something newer. The other half's got a mk4 GTI but it's the 2.0 one and while it's nice to drive etc, I think I want something with a bit more er balls. Going to look at a Y reg 4 motion next week - never been in one or even seen one being driven anything but sensibly. What's the general concesus? Good points / bad points? What should I be looking out for?
