I'm taking my new WRX back to it's dutch dealer to get it PPP'd.

Anyhelp much appreciated sorting out the route...my guess is Harrige UK Port over to Hook of Holland and then 1 hour drive to Amsterdam. Anyone done this yet ?

Took the channel tunnel(25mins to calais) Then a 3 hour drive to amsterdam. Not too bad really. Fast roads aswell.

how much did it cost u to take the car over on the eurostar ?

Suresh 30 May 2003 04:20 PM

Whenever we drive over to the UK we go to Calais and get the SeaCat. Used to do this from Ostend but Sealink have since dropped this service. Usually manage about 5 hours door to door (Utrecht --> Near Bluewater in Kent).

Roads are indeed fast but French petrol stations that take non-French cards are few and far between on Bank Holidays so be aware.

how much did u pay to cross ?

AndyMoody 30 May 2003 07:51 PM

Roads from Amsterdam to Calais easy to do.

Try www.ferry.co.uk or SeaCat were doing a promotion I think, however when I used it a fortnight a go the sea was very rough and not an experience I'd like to repeat too often.

Andy.
