the 2 drivers constantly swap over. the boot is not exactly comfortable. 2 more hours a wasted in traffic. the deadline for the vaccine lou is. the drivers decide to drive through the night. since the start of the journey there's been a strong smell of petrol in the car still no one seems concerned. the good news you can see. but you know who did you decide to put my foot on told me something. the petrol fumes might keep the evil spirits away but highway robbers a real threat. yet you seem a little bit savvy do you live here in france are pick this up. your mum did
