Hi everyone, I've got 5 days in late october to take the new TVR on a trip somewhere. I'm after some advice on where I could go given the time constraits. Clearly the stelvio pass is a bit of a long way for a 5 day trip (and possibly going to cost a bit too much in petrol money!) so was thinking maybe Northern France, Belgium, Germany (apparently the 'ring is closed the week i have off) maybe. Just after good roads and somewhere nice to visit when not driving. All suggestions welcome!
Thanks in advance.

isle of man. used to do it in a chim for 3 or 4 days at a time frequently. Recommend staying at the mount murray hotel and country club (halfway between douglas and castletown) Its great and offer covered parking! The mountain section of the TT course between peel and douglas, early in the morning, no traffic, no speed limits and racetrack quality surface is hard to beat. Plenty of interesting touristy stuff to see and do there too!
