A lot of miles added to the clock but a great holiday with loads of memories. Owning a roadster and not doing some driving over the water is criminal in my mind, so very glad i got to take her there for a an exteneded run this time.
I went Calais to La Rochelle, onto Bordeaux and then down to Carcassonne for a week. We stopped at the family house and some friends flew down to join us for lots of drinking and bbq's and beach time 8) . We then went up to Lyon and finished in Paris for a few days. I love Paris, its been a long time since i was there and to me it just wipes the floor with London in terms of culture and feel. A price of a coffee though, ooof :x
The car was absolutely flawless, and quite a few people stared at it like they'd never seen one before
On the way back we got caught up in the Le mans traffic coming home. After a lot of driving i was quite burnt out and knew I was in no hurry to get to the port, so pootled along whilst the lambos, ferraris, a Z3MC, S2000's, Mustangs to name a few all haired past me. I did however have the last laugh as i sailed through the telepeage as they all qued in the credit card aisle and then got pulled over by the police that had been using hidden cameras up the road. If i hadnt been taking it easy i would never have seen the camera they set up.
heres a few pics in paris that i forced the reluctant missus to take
