This year we'll be heading down in a pair of BMW 530d's. Must be getting old...

That said, should be ideal for the journey (and for lugging 6 blokes and a heap of stuff)

Bottom line is it gets the car back to the UK (cheaper than the other well known companies), You then choose where you want the car to end up. smile

Not sure if it'll be in the RS6 or the Z4MC, or indeed maybe as a passenger this year in a mate's GTR at this stage.
