Ive been told by someone, that i have to go to the UK but not by our boat?? Instead by Landrover,But how??

I know there are ferries but they are so expensive it would be less expensive to buy a MOBO in Calas load it with refugees and come across then take back booz tourists?? But at 70knots wont they get sea sick??

Is there a way to get to the UK with a British landrover without spending more than the value of the landrover to do it (retern)

Or must i sail to the UK (Maldon) ??? (has free anchorgages still??? Dosent it???

Feel lucky - a return bought in France is cheaper than a return bought in England.
If you come over in February or March, it will still be the low season and quite cheap.

If you want expensive try Brittany Ferries......

I m posting before reading the above post for norfolkline just to say that i looked at eurostar and for one person and a "Defender" (my series 2 88 dosent exist on their site) cost just under £300 retern!!

I do want to get back after the visit !

If not id be arrested as a vagrent !! with no fixed aboade! without my ship!!Landys dont count as a home.

But then would i be deported to France?? or would i be given a luxuary flat social soc medial insc inspite of only haveing contributed for perhaps 5 weeks to the social security system?

Im so used to "poping across" that to do so without a boat--- but she wont have it has to be by ferry??

Indeed £19 one way WITH LANDROVER or £24 retern On some departures its a £or 5 more but fantastic!!!!

Now it just depends can i get on another boat.Good value though

Thanks!! Thats a wonderful link!Ill note it if i can post on the French News.com forum

Wonder what its like in the UK with Blair /Brown socalist so ought to be able to aford to eat??? (my girl freind isent reading this!!!!)

Both the Romans and William the Conqueror managed it without Land Rovers, though some Germans tried the aerial route with less success.
Surely at this time of year Spain or Italy is both warmer and cheaper?

My girlfreind dosent want me to sail --at all

But to bring my landrover to her home!! to buy an overdrive and new 7.50x16 crossplys or even a new 109!!!!! ive seen a few from an old 2A to a stage 1 (V8) the 2As rather fine! and for sale in Colchester

At the moment im looking at one way thats from The UK, Dover is ok, back to France with a new landrover!! (1972 109) I may go by boat if it can wait untill April/may

Or i may be comeing in another landrover if there is some space left!!! Just have to get back then!
