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!

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.
You should post some pics of the race!
Happy motoring!!
