At the end of next week I'm off for a lap of France in the V12VS. In via Cherbourg, down through the Dordogne, along the bottom coast, then back up via Mulhouse to Paris, then Brussels and a quick divert up to Hamburg, before home via Hull.
Car is all serviced and ready to go... If you're out there and you see me then give a flash and a wave!

Well I am back. Sorry for the lack of pics, my phone would simply not cooperate!

Some stats

Total mileage: 3852
Average MPG : 24.2
Highest speed attained: 177mph
Longest single day leg: 620 miles. ( covered easily with no aches and pains)
Hottest external temp encountered : 39C
Smiles and encouragement and praise everywhere I went, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany

Faults? None. Zip. Nada.

Other observations: 102 RON Shell racing doesn’t add much (anything) to the performance. The front splitter does not like French speed humps, Audi drivers appear to be bad everywhere! hehe
