Anybody got any up to date info about Dover- Calais situation.Wanting to take the MX5 down to Sain,obviously with the soft top on.
However don't want to risk it if there's still risk.Even though I've just retired from medicine I don't think stitching myself up would be a good start to the holiday.
There was a lively debate on BT .com but the censors at BT don't seem to want honest up to date information and the net seems unreliable. :text-thankyouyellow:

Just be watchful on the way back, seems there's a gang of midget migrants targeting sports cars. Check the boot and engine bay, it's a 2k fine don't ya know :handgestures-thumbup:

I would think it would be perfectly safe in an MX5 with 2 people in it. They will be looking for cars where they can squeeze into the boot or maybe sit on a backseat and try to pass themselves off as an innocent passenger. Not much point trying to get into an MX5. There isn't even space to strap themselves to the under-side :lol:

We cancelled our trip to Germany because of all the trouble at Calais. I was worried about delays as we were only going for a long weekend. The possible damage to the car by migrants and s**t spraying French farmers did also bother me. I complained on Facebook about Eurotunnel refund policy. Somebody commented today that they were at the port for a 9.30 crossing but were still on the train waiting for departure at 3.30 this afternoon. It looks like Eurotunnel are blocking negative comments on Facebook.

Ahh the tunnel, what a farce , controlled by the French unions.

Use the main Ferries, or do like our neighbours do, pop across from Hull and drive down in to France avoiding the French ports.

Expect 2 hr delay for cars on average
