In June in our mk1 Eunos V-spec.

Can't wait 2 days down and 3 back up, stopping in Belgium, champagne, various towns in the South. Crossing the channel by train, great value and only 30 mins!

Can't wait!

Would love to do something like that!

How much are you budgeting for the trip?

Sounds similar to our trip last July:

Dover - Dunkirk ferry, down through France with first night in Reims, then headed east through Luxemburg to Trier just over the German Border. Then up the Mosel river to Nurburg for the evening Touristfahrten, then up thrugh Germany and Belgium with the last night in Brugge.

Brilliant.

The '95 Eunos didn't miss a beat.

Just booked the 'Nurburgring on a budget trip' for 5 days at the end of May & can't wait.

We are doing a similar trip for the first two weeks of April this year. :-)

Channel tunnel then a night in Reims, then two nights in Grenoble, two nights in Nice, two nights in Avignon, then a night somewhere on the way to a night in Noizay before home again. All in my Mk3.5 Sport Tech.

We can't wait!

We have got one of these for the trip:

Ha ha no 12 days in total! Have a gite in France booked for a week, just going to spend 5 days there. 2 days down, 3 back up, but exploring S of France whilst down there.

Will check other threads on trip. Will have to do nurburgring next time!

Not even looked at what route yet or where to stop, prob just decide when I get there!

If you're in Rheims, don't forget to visit the old GP circuit at Gueux, on the outskirts of Rheims.
It's on public roads, and the old stands and pits are still there.

I'm going the other way, up to Scotland/the outer hebrides, it will be about 10 days in total, hoping to pack lightly and not need to use to boot rack.
