Looking outside my window right now, it seems impossible to handle even the simplest daily tasks without the assistance of valium & vodka. Maybe I should talk to Frank. But I doubt Frank has the power to change the ugly weather outside.

Something positive is urgently needed, something well worth looking forward to. Something like a... a nice road trip. Not just a road trip, it must be somewhere really nice. The trip to the local fish & chips shack won't do. Sunshine. Roof off. That sort of thing.

There are still months to go till we can enjoy that (or weeks if under the optimistic influence of V & V), so why not inject a bit of day- dreaming and share some nice pics of exactly that in the meantime? That should keep us going.

Only criteria I would suggest is that picture has been taken AFTER leaving LeShuttle (southbound). Oh and a Tuscan, of course.

I'll start, who's in?

Flew to the south of France 3 weeks ago to pick this up, the last owner did a very good job leaving it parked with this view as i pulled up. Having never driven a TVR before i thought it would be a good drive back to get familiar with the car..... 18 hours of driving 40mph in the snow i was not convinced.

This is from a couple of years ago. Ferry from South Shields to Amsterdam then nice tour around Northern Europe including a stop at Spa and a very nice drive through Paris centre. The Tuscan was the perfect tool for the job..

Summer 2009. It was in the high 30s that day so we had to put the roof on and use the aircon to stop me passing out.

This from The 'Ring August 2010....yep! had rain nearly every day Friday through Sunday.
Monday, I left to push on down to Nuremburg, clouds cleared and sunshine.



Great road trip, saw a mate in Nuremburg, had a few beers, and then back on the Thursday
