Well I've made it back to the UK and currently in Hertfordshire, drove through Vire in Normandy up to Calais (Vire, Caen, Le Havre, Calais) before doing some shopping and catching the Eurotunnel back to the UK.
By the time I get back to Dorset tonight I'll have covered just over 2000 miles in 2 weeks in the D3, car never missed a beat at all.
Never saw the temperature get up to that level again, but did see 31C on Friday.
The landing beaches of Normandy have quiet a sobering thought, looking today its almost impossible to understand what happened on them all those years ago now.
I drove all along the coast from Saint Laurent Sur Mer, to Arromanches. We only went into the Overlord museum at Omaha beach (opposite the american cemetery), quiet an eye opener.
