Keep it running

Now we were on the long stretch home, across Germany, then Holland, finally back in Belgium and home by thursday late afternoon. To avoid any problems starting, we decided to keep the car running, even for gassing it up, 10 long hours. We had loads of luck concerning traffic jams, with only a small one just before Munster, due to works on the road. As for the rest it was trouble free driving. Around noon we switched sides again and a bit later we passed by Essen without even the slightest mistake, which is no mean feat as this town is hell for those who are roadbook inclined. The last stretch from Antwerp to Ghent we did a constant 110-120 with pedal movement to spare. And by 17h30 the car was in its new stable and we were ready to go to the monthly DFV get-together for a quick bite. And then of to bed for the sleep of the innocent. Much needed. Remember we left tuesday afternoon to be back thursday afternoon, some 1800 km in a '59 bug later. Now who's saying road trip days are over !
