[SiR_chris]

cool nice one Benny. Anyone else want to express which weekends they CAN'T do? Just helps to tie down a date thats all - much more likely to take place then

I'm thinking one of the following in particular:

Fri 15th July - Mon 18th July
Fri 12th August - Mon 15th August
Fri 19th August - Mon 22nd August

I'll start to plan a general route through France - anyone have any experience or suggestions which towns/roads to visit?

Soz Pilchy didn't see this - I would say B16 for cheap, B18 for a smile, H22 for a grin

Groovy
Le Mans is 11th and 12th June - may be a bit early to plan everything. But I'll check costs of ferry and get my finger out, and if everyone else is up for those dates then I don't see why we couldn't

EDIT: camping prices and tickets for the race will cost a bit tho - £65 to get in, cheapest campsite is £50 but I guess we could go further afield. Links to prices here:

May be a bit too much to incorporate it into this trip. Maybe next yr for le mans?

This sounds like a plan chris, any of them dates are good for me.

How far do you think we could get into Europe? Breezing along some alpine roads on the way to a beach in the south of France would be epic

That does sound wickid But I'm not sure how far we can get into France tbh - not only due to petrol cost but also time. If we get into France midday Fri, we have to be back to the tunnel by Monday mid-morning. And Calais is at the top right of France I'll get a map up with main towns and see how many miles everything is - afterall this is intended as 'budget trip' lol - if we did this every yr we could delve further and further in . First I'd like to get a date sorted tho before finalising any details

wich would be the easiest or are they all roughly the same??

Gets harder as you go along the list lol. There is quite a bit of info in the hybrid/engine swap forum dude Let's keep this thread on topic

But either way i WILL BE MAKING the trip

That's the spirit!!

We are getting t-shirts made that will be handed out at Japfest for whoever comes on the stand but we can certainly look into Roadtrip specific shirts tho yeh!
