Hi Guys,

Was Lotto the car ahead of the C15D?

Who else drives like that?

Btw...bonjour, Nicholas

Certainly not you Jockers...You would have been miles behind him

How very dare you Tone.....ok you're right !!!

Hi Guys,
Sounds that you had a good drive.

Probably the best 10 minutes video I saw for a long time! The C15D driver is really going for it. It will be interesting to see if he has a posted on youtube his recording from his phone.

Was Lotto the car ahead of the C15D?

Bonjour Nicolas mon ami - Hope you and your family are well

Yes it was me - Myself and Nick were the ONLY cars to manage to get past our friend in the C15....Just sayin'

I note the title that Cockers has given the video is C15D vs DBS .....Maybe C15D vs DBS being held up by DB9V would have been more appropriate

either way it was a hoot...We couldn't stop laughing for quite a while after arriving at our Chateau.

It is true, I was saying Nicko needs to grow a pair..... Oh hang on

Hardly likely when he's towing a van

Probably the most awesome road of the trip D900 from Digne



But there were so many others

Great route John! This one was the best and most memorable for us.. Must do it again in the Volante

[mikey k]

Know that road well
Shame you guys didn't have more time
Near the north end of D900 is the Col de la Bonnette claimed as the highest "paved" pass in Europe



South West side are Verdon Gorges where Clarkson raced the rock climber/base jumper in the red RS4 saloon the Route des Crete over there is mainly one way with some fantastic views and twisties
Seriously worth making and effort this one!



Both EPIC and worth a detour
IMHO both better than D900

Mikey. Next time you will be coming along

[mikey k]

Already 90% planned a 10 day tour for next year with some absolutely mental routes in it including the REAL pass where the bus spins out in the origonal Italian Job

[VanquishRider]

Hate to think what this cost.

I spend a fortune doing it on a budget. This looked no expense spared. Glad you all enjoyed it.

Would be great to see more of these posts.

What an adventure - the Citroen video was epic!

[sparta6]

Excellent trip !
Last time we took the N202 and dropped down to Nice, also a fabulous ribbon of tarmac.
I always find northern France depressing by comparison.
Well done chaps.

So I am sure the first question on everyone's mind is what is faster, A Citroen C15D van or a DBS???

https://youtu.be/wwI1UnU2SmI here is the evidence

That was excellent. Looks like a great trip - My plan this year was to do the Historique then Mille Miglia and back for the F1 - but only ended up having enough time for the MM.

I dunno, we had a dirty burger at Eurotunnel.
Oh and some cockroach Pinxtos in San Sebastian on day 2.

Remember this as being a long driving day that I didn't want to end as it only seemed like a few hours but was around 7ish IIRC

All were top roads mate - The boy done good

[RobDown]

Remind me, how many DBS Volantes were bought on the back of this trip?

Just the two DBSV's

A bit silly really seeing that the cars will spend most of their lives in sunny England not the Côte d'Azur
