The summer break is here. Show us your best car on holiday pic...... where have you been and what have you been driving.

Rules as usual:

The photos taken must be your own work

The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.

The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month

Entries and discussion on a single thread, please.

All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.

Winners should update the Competition Wiki (it's easy)

Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Its Just Adz

a beautiful place to get lost by sicarumba, on Flickr

My dad and I got lost on the way to Le Mans in the GT40 kit car he built, and we pulled over to get our bearings. I thought it was a lovely picturesque road so I snapped it.

Great topic, and bound to get plenty contributions.

This one is quite special to me. My mum was unfortunately given a terminal diagnosis, thankfully still with us, but one of her bucket list tick boxes was to do the NC500 around Scotland so what a perfect excuse to go for a drive, spend some time together, and we even managed to visit our old holiday caravan park from when I was a kid. This was taken in Skye as we looped round, went to the Talisker distillery, Portree etc.

Just checked..it's the Lötschbergtunnel from Kandersteg to Goppenstein, both in Switzerland...I carried on via various passes and went by Aosta so slight memory lapse on my part!

When you're on holiday, you don't like cold pizza, then you realise your car has many purposes, including V12 powered food warmer. And yes, it actually worked.

I drove the family down to Isle de Re for a couple of weeks in the E500. Sneaked off to a jetwash partway through to placate my OCD.

I'm guessing my pic quality is so poor as hosted by Thumbsnap, and I need to link from Flickr to make it better?

Yes - Thumbsnap ruins the quality.
