Hi,
I'm planning to tour the solar system in my as yet unbought space shuttle.
Which way should I go, where should I go, how should I go, and if anyone has one for sale, can they sell me the optional Apollo capsule so that I can pop down to the planets' surface whilst leaving my shuttle in orbit.
Thanks,
Chris

PH Classifieds? Pretty sure thats the best way you will find a potential car for sale. Autotrader is another good shout.

Hi Tim

We 'did' Germany in our DB9 Volante a couple of years ago which was superb. The route (from memory) was...

Bruges - Koblenz - Wurzburg -(Romantic Road) - Fussen - Baden-Baden - Luxembourg - Gosnay (N France: Le Chatreuse hotel/Chateau)


Last summer we did the French Alps which was better:-

Beaune - Castellane - Briancon - Annecy - Gerardmer - Gosnay

We spent 2 or 3 nights in each place and drove lots of Cols (and the Gorges du Verdon). Whilst at Annecy we went to Mont Blanc one day and Geneva another.

Happy to send you details of hotels/roads etc if you PM me.

One tip: If doing France invest in a Sanef Libertag thingy which will not only speed your progress but will avoid the potential for hitting your passenger door on the concrete surround when your passenger has to inevitably get out of the car to pay at the booths because the 9 is too low for the passenger to reach the booth-person with just their arm hehe

We are not going on a road trip this year but I cashed in 200k of Avios for 4 nights in Berlin instead smile

You'll have the best time. DB9 is a massive head turner. We had no issues mechanically at all. For the full effect though get a Volante (and optional wind diffuser)yes
