Hope you had a good trip. I'm driving my 1977 V8 to Costa Brava on a circular route across France.
Dunkirk to Dijon, then Narbonne to CB.
Return is CB to St Flour (via the Milau bridge of course) then next day onto the famous Hotel de France in La Chartre sur la Loire, which we've visited many times during Le Mans but never stayed overnight.
All stops in small family hotels with private garaging.
2000 miles at 15mpg !!

Well I am back. Sorry for the lack of pics, my phone would simply not cooperate!
Some stats
Total mileage: 3852
Average MPG : 24.2
Highest speed attained: 177mph
Longest single day leg: 620 miles. ( covered easily with no aches and pains)
Hottest external temp encountered : 39C
Smiles and encouragement and praise everywhere I went, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany
Faults? None. Zip. Nada.
Other observations: 102 RON Shell racing doesn’t add much (anything) to the performance. The front splitter does not like French speed humps, Audi drivers appear to be bad everywhere!
