Got back yesterday, had a great time. Got a missfire 30mls after getting off the ferry, was just a loose HT lead on the coil after that all was fantastic.
Anyhoo 1531 miles/ 271.82Ltr of Vmax/ = 25.6mpg Pleased with that as most was done at 130kph/80mph. And about 1/2 Ltr oil.
The Chim ran like dream.
Got flashed once and had my reg number up in lights on the motorway gantry advising me that I needed to slow down. Will I get a ticket through the post?
I was very fortunate to have been given the appartment for free, however the cost of everything else was to say the least, expensive.
Two cups of coffee in the Cafe du Pari in casino square £19.
All in all though a superb time and it was bloody hot 36 deg most of he time with brilliant beaches.

Ooooooooh and those tunnels

I've stayed at the Fairmont but other times (I've been 4 or 5 times) I stay in near by Cabris or Cannes (Cannes isn't too bad price wise)

I've still got footage of me driving the Chimaera around the circuit....must post it up sometime!

Excellent job!

I got flashed on the M'way over there in 2009...had nothing through.
