Hello Paul,
I like your plan A (I,ve to come from the Netherlands..)
My car is running better and better so i t hink a trip to England should be
possible,although it would be a challenge without a roof.
(i,m not driving in the snow like you do)
So please order some nice weather in forward.
Please let me know your plans so i can try to organise things around work.
Gr.Rob
