Indeed, we drove from Santader, via the Rioja over the pyrenees, north through France stopping at St Emillion, and then Paris, in the Boxter - great journey. We drove from UK to Champagne, down the Rhone to Arles then to the Gorges du Tarn for a week, back north via the Millau bridge, Chenonceaux, and then home. That was in the TT. We are retiring soon, and are thinking of taking the Speedster across Europe when it's fully sorted, though our currency may collapse at the end of this year, so Europe may work out too expensive. Ireland last year was much more expensive than we expected, but they earn on average 30% more than we do, so everything being 30% more expensive isn't a big surprise.
All fantasies at the moment...
