2400 miles in 6 days
Discussion
So far I've only been on the Eurohoon events (and a few privately organised trips by the eurohoon organiser), I've taken this decision for two reasons, Firstly it it's a people thing. ie going on tour with the same loonatics I argue and pisstake with on here rather than a bunch of strangers. Secondly the organisers have continued to consistently provide great roads, hotels and on tour backup.
I did look at doing the furball06 as well this year but the dates didn't tie in for me. I had a look at the rabbit run site earlier this week but TBH (being a tightwad) it's a lot more money than the Eurohoon trips. Experience tells me that paying for 5 star hotels every night when you are spending 8/9 hours a day in the car is just a waste of money as all we normally want to do is grab a shower, then go out for the evening for something to eat and have a laugh murdering a few beers into the early hours. I note some of the additional cost of the rabbit run will be returning the cars back to the UK, IMHO may as well take an extra couple of days and drive back (it is a driving holiday afterall).

secondedYeah Shady that was an awesome trip and nice vid mate. It seems my decision to concentrate on driving and leave the pics to the experts was partially fulfilled - i.e. the vids and pics are great. My cracked car is in the shop. It looked good on day 1 though.
PS - I highly reccommend all 2 tonne aston drivers to upgrade to DOT5 brake fluid as mine boiled coming down Mount Ventoux - priceless.
