DeLorean Trip to Belgium

Postby mknowlton » Sat Mar 11, 2017 4:32 pm

So Barry & Kate, Carol & myself have booked a short trip across to Ypres in Belgium in the DeLoreans via Eurotunnel next month

We just wondered if there was anyone who fancied making the trip in their DeLorean with us or if there are any Belgian owners who would like to meet up with us during our visit?

We are travelling across lunchtime on Thursday 20th April and returning on the lunchtime train on Saturday 22nd April.

If you are interested just let us know and I can give you more details

Cheers

Hi Mike,

Sounds a great idea, nice little trip.

I have always wanted to to Ypres as I have a relative buried in one of the military cemeteries there.


But I am away the previous week and don't return until late Monday, it could be a bit of a stretch.. will look at timings.

I'm doing a similar trip over to France in the D the week before. Can't wait. First time driving it on the continent

So the journey went very well yesterday, both cars ran flawlessly all of the way and the traffic/weather was good to us.
We actually arrived at the tunnel early enough to catch an earlier train.
I have to say how nice it is to drive here on the continent in the D, a lot less traffic and it feels a lot safer with improved visibility driving a left hand drive car on the right.

Here is a couple of photos from the journey.

Cheers
