Mind you’re own business haha, nah just joking. We’re spending all next year finding the perfect place. Off to Marbella when we get back in December, then we’ll give Portugal, Monaco, Portofino, Nice, etc a shot. Looking at spending a few months on each to get a taste.
When you are in Nice pop along to Antibes. There is something very special about that place, old and the new.
Good luck with the search.

+2 - was going to pm you then saw someone had already mentioned in - anywhere between Antibes and Cannes is perfect, I use to live in Golfe Juan.

Monaco is where relationships go to die.

Portofino please, sending the missus out there weekend after next looking for holiday home/retirement .

If you end up being a neighbour, it would be rude not to pop round for a car licking session. biggrin

So lots of my cars will be going, but the good news is that I’ll be going on the craziest spending spree of my life replacing them with LHD cars.
Starting with the 250 GT SWB competizione.
So yeah, let’s have some fun.
Another normal day in the life of Pete hehe

And IIRC Antibes is one of the few places where the reaaaallly big superyachts can go to play because they dont fit in many other ports hehe

Portugal would be my first choice as you're spoilt for choice along the Algarve and it pretty much avoids the only way is Essex/Marbella biggrin

Great weather, beaches, food, locations, people etc.
Oh and Portimao

Marbella itself is nice (Orange Square etc) but Puerto Banus is a place I can just about manage a couple of hours at a time in.

Hi Pete,

I cant believe you started this thread end of September and I've just spotted it - doh.

We have 2 things in common i'm also from Oldham and have a Dachshund that's about it.

Keep up the good work and enjoy your honeymoon

Frank.

As a slightly younger person Antibes (and near facinity) truly has so many advantages - access to great locations, not so pretentious (has an Irish Bar and Absinthe Bar!), 30 mins from Monaco, 40 mins from Italy, Nice airport on your doorstep, endless Cannes Film Festival invites etc...

Because it’s a 430 and something is probably just about to fall off haha.

Haha! I really want a 430 and keep seeing comments like this...it makes me rather nervous!

Saying that I own a Range Rover and a TVR so what's the worst that can happen...?!

Nah they’re not too bad, just old tech. Just make sure you buy one that’s been meticulously maintained. Looking at the roof and the rear plastic screen is always a good indicator of how it’s been kept (although if they’ve changed the roof recently then all that goes out the window).

Not a bad car but not the best, I’d stretch for a 458 if you’ve got the means.
Happy shopping

Pete
