Hi All
Looking for some wisdom from the (specialised) masses.
This summer I'll be taking the Caterham across The Channel and driving all they way down to the South of France. I'm going on the B roads to more or less Aix en Provence. I've got a month off work.
I have a K series 1.6, ex Academy, 6 speed. It has Yoko A048s.
Some questions
I don't have a roof or doors yet - of the two which is the most crucial or do I need both?
Are the tyres OK?
Should I stick a spare wheel on the back?
I have a feeling the that it will get insanely hot inside the car as I can feel it's warm even now. Any hints here?
What sat nav should I get for the French cameras?
Are there any peculiarities about the car set up for France (e.g., headlight realignment, etc)?
If I were to take a toolkit, what should be in it? Is there any point?
I'm with the AA for European and breakdown cover - any experience with this lot? Do I need anything more than this?
My insurer (REIS) covers me for 6 weeks in Europe - is there any way to increase this (REIS won't)?
Any other tips for long journeys - I'm looking to do the 800 miles over 2 or 3 days.
Any other pointers that anyone has would be great!
Cheers
Will
