Just thought I would let you guys know that I am going to be putting my car fully through its paces today with a most excellent road trip.
Starting off in Oxfordshire UK onto Dover Ferry Port UK to Calais, France through to Belgium via Mons into Luxembourg then finally Kaiserslautern in Germany. About a 540 mile trip with plenty of opportunity to open up the car and blow the cob webs away! Should take about 11 hours door to door! :thumbsup:

Dang that is awesome! That is why I love europe you drive for a few hours and end up in a totally different culture. Is that a 540 mile round trip???

Over here I drive like almost 400 miles just to make a snowboarding trip. :getlost:

Sounds nice man! I will be leaving tomorrow morning for the south of France, with the GP in Monaco on Sunday as the ultimate goal. But with all the radars on the french motorways I will not be opening her up as I'm sure you will be able to, this is offputting.

That sounds like a massive amount of fun, even with those radars everywhere.

You should post some pics of the race! :o

Happy motoring!!
