Looks like a great trip guys 
Nice to see cockers stretching the legs of the McLaren
Problem is Mikey, the Mclaren has a hesitation in the throttle pick up and trouble with cornering at speed. It is called Tracy Nice to see cockers stretching the legs of the McLaren
with you driving I'm not surprised!That said surely you had that issue in the Aston?
Today we have driven 7 hours on the most awesome roads across The Alps. I have no idea of their names but part of it was Route Napoleon. The sun shone and the roads were empty. The noise with the roof down and the decat pipes cannot be matched by anything 
I have a very sun burnt head but boy was it worth it. Cockers, I'm sure, will be along with the exact route when he has stopped planning the next one

As Steve said we started in San Sebastian here
We then went for lunch at Martin Berasategui
We had some wine
The next day we headed for Carcassone
And stopped off at Le Domaine d'Auriac
We then set off towards Nice and found some more awesome roads
We stayed 30 minutes from Nice at Chateau Saint Martin which had some rather pleasant views
In the morning we got a taxi and train to here
And spent the afternoon on here (Thank you Sunseeker for your hospitality)
Monday morning we set off for Vienne via Route Napoleon (I think) on some epic roads
We used a lot of this
In Vienne we stayed at La Pyramide
We set off again via Meursault as a couple of us enjoy their wine
Towards Etoges and stayed here (Mikey K recommendation)
We nipped out for a tasting here
On the way home we stopped off here
If we were honest there were a few too many motorway miles but the routes across the Pyrenees and Alps more than made up for that. If you have not done the Monaco Historique it's a must. The noise and smell of those old cars is amazing. We had access to the paddock and the owners/teams were all happy to chat about their passion, do it. The racing is awesome.
You may have noticed we had an interloper.

this trip would simply not have worked.
Cheers, John
