Are you SERIOUS?
Those aren't all in containers then?
Does somebody else drive it on? What does that look like? An indoor carpark for 4000 cars??!!!

1800 cars on 7 decks and then 3800 containers on deck

good heavens, I had no idea such things were 'afloat'!!!
I thought you'd be 'one of ten cars' in containers, over to one side, on the deck.
Incredible!
When does she sail..?

Well... This is going well
Was on my way down the M6 to Liverpool on its first part of the journey to the US and think it's a suspect head gasket

Not a great start, I have a head if you need one.

They are taking the head off today at the Station Garage in Staveley
We have a a deadline of Fri to get the car to the docks or it won't be there on time to get to the states
If it's warped, I might need to take advantage of your kind offer of head in a hurry, eeek

Just started overheating on the M6 and venting coolant which caused a lot of steam
Going up to the garage now to see how it's getting on

Likely to be an effect rather than a cause.
Check the radiator has its fins and isn't full of cack.

Thanks for getting back to me, it's been a tad stressful lol
Seems we got away with no damage to the head and a new gasket should be here at around 3pm so I'm a bit behind schedule but we should still make it to NYC in time
Just Practical Classics are meeting me on the other side to cover the trip and if we couldn't get to Liverpool by Friday at 4pm I would be "That Guy" who messed everyone's plans up

Unfortunately time is against us
I'd be taking one as hand luggage to the states and changing it before going anywhere.

Also, get the garage to check the fan is working by shorting out the rad switch, they can seize up.
