Some great driving roads in France.. had a real blast in the lotus prior to Le Mans.

Early morning, Route Napoleon. A couple of minutes later we met up with a Swiss 360 spider and had a great run together:


Route Napoleon is lots of stuff like this, twisty but fast, armco and a big drop:


This is later on, driving up into the alps from Mento (Col De Castillion):


This is Col de Turini, where the monte carlo rally is held:


At the top of Col de Turini:


Highest point we went to was Col de la Cayolle which is 2325m. The white stuff is snow btw


Faster drive after we left the highest peaks thu what is skiing country in the winter time:


There are a whole load more but these give you a flavour. Oh, and Le Mans was great too

2368 miles in total and the esprit ran faultlessly the whole trip.

Planning next years trip now... thinking maybe Futa Pass (opening sequence of the Italian Job) or maybe St Bernadina Pass or Stelvio and into Italy..

Hope you like the pics. Cheers

Great pics mate, thanks for posting them! Nice to see people using the Esprit for these trips. Time to get my passport, and experience the rest of the world, but not in the Esprit, it usually has problems making 7 miles!

Great pics, more please. Looks like you had a lot of fun.

After getting back from Le Mans and experiencing the roads we are already discussing a two week Europe road trip next year maybe with Le Mans classic.

Great pics,

I used to have a V8-GT, beautiful car. I always wanted to put those sport 350 wheels on mine and having seen yours I realise what a good move it would have been. Looks great in silver too.
