Euro Road Trip

Serious? I though it was like £2000 type money, I may well come in my 1.6 then!
As long we go to Sweden and Poland I'm happy ;)
 
^It would cost that if you stayed in a reasonable hotel each night, and you had a stupidly uneconomical car.

We didn't do stupid speeds on the motorways, mainly stuck to 70-80mph where the cars aren't too bad for fuel.

not massively crammed at all. this was enough for 2 people per car for 8 days, very little food though. Regarding food, bare in mind that in europe they pretty much shut everything on a sunday, so get food on saturday to last

also, as your taking more time over your trip than we did, might be worth popping into the Porsche museum in Stuttgart on your way through, it wont be too far out your way

Ok if there is space, I've talked to my parents and gf and I've decided I'm coming! (if I'm welcome)

I won't be in the 1.2, just sold it, got to buy a new car before September!

Looks fantastic guys, me and the OH are planning on driving to the Champagne region then dieppe, up the coast and back to Calais.

Shouldn't be too bad travelling wise. 12 hour straight drive from our house including the ferry so not even that far.

You're more than welcome mate.


Gally, That sounds good also. I think us going for 9 days will help with the driving. Any less and we'd have struggled to do the miles and enjoy our selves.

I really can't wait for this to be honest. Always wanted to do something like this.

Is there a thread on here with your pictures in? I wouldn't mind having a look through.

And I've never driven on the wrong side of the road...

Take a mate with you, can insure him on the car to share driving plus you can then go halves on fuel and road tolls
