Hertz return from hell April 26th.

I will start off by apologizing for making fun of the French accent. I have some great associates and friends there so they know I'm just kidding around. Since I speak (sometimes) with an accent feel free to make fun of it ! It's 10:00 AMish . Train from Paris to London leaving @ 4:30 PM. Driving time from Grenoble to Paris : 5 hrs. I leave myself 6 thinking I'll be in London with plenty of time to check in and still grab a pint. Roads are relatively empty. Driving 110 to 130 km/h most of the time despite the heavy rain and occasional down pour. The ESP light goes on (traction control) and I get a big flashing error on the display. So what? I don't need traction control. The roads are awesome and road etiquette is always observed. Except by the American in the Peugeot 307....that would be me. I accidentally pass on the right once and get angry hi-beam flashes for a while. The tolls are incredibly expensive. The last stretch of highway before Paris, about 2 hours worth,
