Mad or stupid or both! but I'm finally back from my trip to Le Mans & beyond - Spain, Andorra, South of France, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France again... 3000+ miles in a Chim' and the car was a dream, every day was a new adventure - aren't these things supposed to be unreliable???

Thanks to Nuno (raftom) for his help and to all my friends at Mid-Essex for their friendship & help too...

Had a nice welcome home last night - think I was radar zapped by plod on a bridge on the A13 doing about 80? I stuck at 80 all the way from Zurich and get zapped 5 miles from home... how did I feel? Great to be home....

You're welcome Glad to see you got back OK.

That's quite a trip isnt it? I did Zurich to Lisbon some years ago after LM and still have fond memories of it, special the Alps pass. Now how about some pics hem?

Cheers

next time shnozz - the company would've been welcome! Andorra was good - did you go up the Glass 'Cathedral' looking building?

next time definately.

No, we didnt go up that. Didn't even know you could go up there - when I looked as we went past it seemed businesses in there when we initially assumed it was a shopping centre.

We stayed in a lovely hotel about a mile out of town. Was truly fantastic and the views superb.

As you say, next time

Not quite the last back!
MikeN and I went east, Black Forest (Autobahn to max the Noble too), Swiss Alps, French Jura and to top the lot Stelvio Pass (Italy).
Got home at 20:05 on Sunday 27 June.
Can anyone top that?

What was the longest mileage? Can anyone beat 3360? (I can also claim 3365 in 2002)

Happy Hooning!
