Thank you for a really useful post and pics.
I was hoping to make a similar trip some day.

Excellent work
That's giving me itch feet

Can't see the pics at work as thumbsnap is blocked but it sounds a pretty amazing trip!

Great thread !!!!

The red vomit is a cheap generic merlot...seen it all before

I'm sure George drinks that supermarket drink

I don't drink wine. And if I do it may as well be the cheap stuff as they all taste pretty much the same to me

'Twas not vino el Georgio....

'Twas that famous herbal liqueur called 'Unicum'.

So I thought of you

Never even heard of Unicum. What is it?

The clue is in the 'herbal liqueur' bit

Very much enjoyed your post! Thanks for the effort.

Knob.

Why did it make you think of me then?

What a great trip! You might have inspired me to do my own now in my C63 (might need my own fuel truck too)...

Did you drive in Kenya? I lived there last year for 4 months and Nairobi was an interesting place to live and drive. I loved the Giraffe orphanage too, (I have a photo of the dam thing trying to French kiss me in the same spot you are standing)!

Jambo and asanti 911C2S

Definitely do the trip, it's brilliant fun.

I did drive a little in Nairobi, gently gently pushy pushy as I was told. I did make out with the giraffe as well, the pic is on Facebook but I feared a beastiality joke outbreak on here if I put that one up

"I'd buy a telepass for Italy, France's booths were quiet but some of the Italian ones were chaos yet the Telepass lanes empty."

You can't, an italian bank account is needed in order to obtain a telepass...

Great read,Great pictures, really enjoyed that.

"there's a night train, so for €80, slap the car on the train in Paris and collect it from Marseilles. Save the money and time basically."



€80 ..including car, any website details please

Cheers

Cracking looking trip, as posted above, gives me itchy feet... Europe is so accessible once you've crossed the barren wasteland of northern France but few of us ever scratch the surface of what's there

Never done a Petrolhead Nirvana tour and I really should as I rarely find good roads on my own

[MollyGTi]

Yeti, you would love a Petrolhead Nirvana trip. Come September we are off on our second. It is full on fun with a great bunch of people with a good mix of cars.

Rob / Mollypops, I will do one at some point! September next year would be a bad time though mathematically... Was just mooting me spending 3 months in Uganda next year to be told its baby time by then

We ought to do a PH Euro tour. I know how well the JLC trip went down, but looking at the OPs trip, it just looks epic. I want to be sick on a pillow in France.....

[robgt]

Molly and I would be up for a Euro tour. Even being a passenger on the JLC trip was great. Maybe restrict the numbers a bit (only a Suggestion) so that we can find smaller out of the way places to stay. No pressure on anyone, just touring with like minded people. Could be fantastic.

Now that sounds good...count me and Mona in ....maybe someone should start a list of interested parties ??
