Pistonheads trip to Monaco Historique
Discussion
Hi pistonheaders!
There's 15 of us on a trip down to Monaco for the Historique GP.
We were supposed to be getting the ferry to Santander, then driving to San Sebastián, but there was a slight disaster when the ferry broke down the day before!
Instead we took the Eurotunnel, and stayed overnight in the Loire valley, then drove the rest of the way into Spain. Found a great Chateau hotel by chance, Château De Brou in Noyant de Touraine.
We're currently staying in Villa Soro just outside San Sebastián, having had lunch at Martin Berasategui today. Fantastic food, and an excellent wine list, which we did a lot of damage to
Not much chance for hoonage yet, mostly been motorway slog down to Spain, but tomorrow we're off to Carcassonne via the Pyrenees, then Nice for the GP, then back home via Lyon and Épernay.
Other people on the trip will post their photos and comments here, and I'll try and update it over the next 5 days.

have fun 
The cancellation of the ferry was a right pain for you all. Have a great trip.
Sweepstake now running - I'm going for 2 convisgated licences / speeding fines. Anyone else want to joing in? No I'm not being horrible to the people on the trip - I've been on trips with them so know them well.

Yeah, I'm in Spesh.......so, I'm thinking Cockers gets a certain confiscation. Toms won't, he's in the bender DB9. Jeff is too sharp to get caught. Steve has a knack of getting done and Tony drives like a girl. So I'm on 2 as well.
Here's hoping!!

Could be 3 - Dredders could lose his for backewards 'stunt' driving

Bins, Bender DB9s also get caught.
Yes, but yours is a little special bender isn't it? I'd forgotten about Dredders' stunt driving. I'm also concerned Sukh will pick up some points either trying to catch up the others having spent half an hour driving around roundabouts or driving the wrong way down a one way street "well, SATNAV told me to go that way....."
