Road Trip Pictures

Just completed 2687 miles in 16 days in our V8 Vantage.
What a great trip, combined some fantastic roads! I think we did over 20 high Alpine passes!

A trip like that is unforgettable! Spend as long as you like at the best locations - for example, Lake Como, St Tropez, Monaco etc, but the highlights are driving the best roads in Europe, and arriving at fantastic Hotels early afternoon and enjoying gastronomic food!

The 'Amis de Gueux' have a website - don't chuckle at the Display Panel item too much - it doesn't translate correctly! We pay €20 per year to help towards the cost of repainting, and I think if the locals hadn't started to repaint, it would be gone in a few years - like Les Essarts at Rouen - sadly wiped out when we arrived last year. It is a very special place to visit - quite haunting in a way, and we visit as often as we can to see the progress, and also have a fantastic lunch nearby!

How much did that trip set you back in the end? I'd love to treat my dad to a trip like that O.o

I haven't checked the bills yet, but we spent a lot extra testing the regional food and wines

Do you have the route available on TomTom / Autoroute?

Hi John

Err - to put it simply, no! We know the roads and routes so well that we never use satnav (and it never takes you on the best roads for the best scenery and twisties ) We simply look at the whole trip using maps and the time we know it takes to drive the passes! I suppose experience helps us! If it helps you, the photo's are in order! Sorry I can't help on that one....
