Thats properly mental ! Hats off!

Is that even comfortable seating-wise for such a long trip?
You must have a proper support convoy as well, no boot I imagine.

Seats are surprisingly comfortable actually, although they are just fibreglass buckets, they have a bit of bedroll style padding. I will have loads of luggage room as going without a passenger this time, there is a second seat behind the driver, you remove the front part of the "airbox" when carrying a passenger, but it makes a decent size "boot" when travelling one up - it's surprising what you can put up the sidepods too - only one of them needs airflow for the rad!

I am travelling in convoy with a few other peeps

Amazing what you can come up when needing to improvise.

I once went for 2 weeks to the South of France with two people in an Elise and I thought i had reached the pinnacle of packaging...clearly not

Safe trip and hope to spot your Furore at LM.

Love that but can't help thinking it would even better with wider rear tyres?

Good choice! We did the same in 2011. Nice to see we have PH stickers in the same place.

Should have a big PH TriColour sticker on the nearside (well offside once we cross the channel!) door;


The first set of stickers arrived today for the rest of the van though;

I'll be popping my Le Mans cherry in my S class - doing some wine tasting in the Loire Valley for a few days first, so need plenty of boot space!



This is, however, depending on my air con being repaired in time - otherwise we'll be in one of my vans!

Change of plan, the mighty Bongo has been sold in exchange for a LWB T5.1 Danbury conversion....

This! Give us a wave as you (inevitably) overtake us, or say hello you if you're passing through Houx Annexe
(Archive shot, obviously)

[vincegail]

During raceweek, this mostly

1)because it is very convenient

2)with the strikes going on, you kind of have to!

Here is my 325d Msport E91

[Mk2lewis]

Some nice rides in here.

On the subject of driving, does anyone use a Sanef?
I'll probably only be doing one trip to France this year are they worth the money and hassle of organising?
