South of France trip in le Cup!

[Tombola]

So last week or so me and the mrs set off to the south of France for our annual hols and we took the Cup this time as last year we took hers to Switzerland. Thought I would post up some pics from along the way. Was an awesome trip and would highly recommend it to anyone. We stayed for 2 nights in Milly la Foret which is near a climbing mecca for anyone who's in the know. We then travelled all the way down south to Estaing. Along the way drove some awesome roads and the Cup turned over to 60,000 miles as well! ON a surprised note I didn't see a single RS apart from a V6 tucked away in a multi storey, one megane and a black 197. Not a single 172 or 182!! Anyway here are some pics.

Who says an RS cant be practical

Been meaning to do this for a while! Roughly How much do you think you spent on fuel?

Great pictures and a nice trip. You've got your headlight beam sticker things in the complete wrong place though

When we had ours we couldn't even work out what way up they were supposed to be! The diagram was terrible.

Oh really? Tried to follow the directions but they were not exactly detailed! Didn't have any complaints and did fair bit of night driving so all was well. I think we probably did 3 tanks on the way down and 4 back, very roughly though. The fuel out there is quite expensive at the mo, to fill up the Cup in the UK its about £50 over there Id say E60-70, oh and dont put the new unleaded in thats got ethanol or something in it! Sans Plomb 85 all the way! The roads in the mountains are fantastic. I would recommend a visit to a Ski Resort called Cauterets then take the mountain road to the 'Point of Spain'. I don't think I have ever turned left and right consecutively so many times lol! Just spent about 3 hours cleaning, some that dirt was just welded on!
Thanks!
