John, do you need your car in France? In my experience the best way of crossing the Channel (and hundreds of miles of land mass) is by airplane. It's done in one to two hours and you also get your your own seat and your own tray table and food and drinks… and if you're flying with a nice price ticket it's not too much more expensive than going by ferry or train (except you live in Dover and want to go to Calais…<g>) The two alternatives I've used so far are: 1) ferries: slow, sluggish way of crossing water; tend to sink too often for the time being; sometimes they stink (even with McD on board…) 2) hovercraft: fast way of crossing water; especially fun when wind blows at 10+; but too loud and no good view provided Regards, Volker (who's now wondering if anyone cares about his two cents (pennies, centimes) anyway…<g>)
