Africatours, so to speak ! Bit of desert in the north, some rain forest centrally and the Serengeti in the south, summer in Cape Town to ship home, mega !

Where do you put your luggage then? ;-)

Plenty of room for luggage in an S, but I like to travel light.

We stop at reims first, then on to chamonix, then grenoble. From there down in to monaco, then to maranello, then garda, then davos, then andermatte, then black forest, then baden, then spa

You have chosen wisely.

Sounds perfick. Enjoy your trip. And the Andermatt Loop is a must. Five of the best passes in a day.

Unless that's got the same power plant as the Back to the Future car the 'radiation keep out' sign seems rather excessive.

You also need to cut down on the number of spanners.

OK, which two spanners should I leave behind?

And the radiation sign isn't excessive, it goes with my dayglo orange balaclava and long-sleeved purple rubber gauntlets.

Maybe the Whitworth?

I carry this lot in the Vixen

It goes in the secret storage in the footwell that Alan built at the passenger side is very deep and passengers have nowhere to rest there feet so solves both problems

all hidden and even the Dealer in Germany did not know it was in there most of what is there was there when I got the car much to the amazement of the dealer when I checked to see if it was still there.

Never needed any of this lot on our S Club Eurotours .
But it's a comfort to know it's there if we need it.

ColinRedGriff's list above is quite a comprehensive checklist, but I would recommend carrying a set of jump leads in addition.

And if you're packing all the electrical gubbins, a small reel or two of electrical cable might come in handy to give you something to crimp the terminal ends onto.

I fairness Glen, I've made use of a few of those items. Got to love the TVR Hat!
