Best journey ever!!!

[sshenton1975]

Hello All

I am currently sat in a hotel in East France/Swiss border having driven 600 miles today in the Cerbie

Got up at 5am and left Northampton. Took M1, M25, M20 down to Dover. Got there much earlier than planned so caught the earlier ferry

Landed in France at 11.20 and headed down down and then east east!

Only stops were for fuel - My God that car drinks. It has got through almost 3 tanks to get here and I wasn't even hooning that much...

Tomorrow I finish the journey off - another 350 miles to Verona where my girlfriend is waiting - new job there and new life!!

Take care all

Sorry - just realised I'm in wrong section

Can someone move to General Gassing?

Cheers

Blasting to Italy in one of the greatest sports cars ever made, to meet your girlfriend and start living a new life.

Doesn't get much better than that!

You lazy bugger. In a hotel resting while your girlfriend is lonely surrounded by all those Italians

Good luck with the new life

Wow, are you going to try and register the Cerb in Italy? Do you even have to if they're in the EU?

Sounds like an awesome experience. I miss mine.

What a brilliant experience. I couldnt think of anything better, driving through europe in a TVR!

We did almost the exact same journey last summer, delivering a car to my dad in Corfu, we stayed over in Verona for a night before heading onto Venice and getting the ferry to Corfu. The drive through the Swiss alps has to be one of the highlights of my life thus far, what an experience! Only problem was we did it in a fire breathing Hyundai Accent!!

Sounds fantastic, and reminds me of when I made this http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=52&i=1775... trip a while back

The stuff of dreams! Good luck in your new chapter.

Aww, I must have just missed seeing your Cerbie as was on the P&O 8-30 crossing. Good luck with your future.

Women eh, you'll do anything for them. I did the same except it was to frankfurt in a Honda lol. Good luck, you will never regret leaving the UK!

I'm moving to the UAE in 5 weeks...wonder if my MX5 would make it. Hmmm, should I go through Syria and Jordan or Iraq before I hit Saudi?

Decisions decisions....

Glad I left UK - let us know how you get on
