  1. As we're mostly Jockanese up here, and like Jay I've a birthday/works night oot, Crimbo Ball down in Nottingham and work on a couple weekends, what about an early January/Ne'erday doo/lunch/**** up/punch up or other, perhaps @ 8th Jan?

     

    :yahoo: I'm magic at ideas :clap:

  2. Avoiding tolls and motorways its around 1350 miles, from Zeebruge to Malaga, according to google maps, 1day 13hrs driving, break that up into 6hr stints, and believe me you will want to, fire in the need to find lunch BEFORE 2pm in France, they all shut after this time, and you're looking at a 6/7day trip B)

     

    Can be done a lot quicker but not as a leisurely drive, m/way crunching all the way.

  3. If you do go through France, keep to the National routes, Route De Mans is a good route south, if you wanted a REALLY leisurely drive through France then the Route Napoleon and the Gorge du Verdun is a must, you will be a million trillion miles from Spain though :lol:

     

    The Millau area is a nice place to tour, lots of lovely little villages and of course the bridge, it was 16 Euros last year, one way, although that is also for a fair stretch of motorway as well. Top tip, on toll roads, use your credit card, we seemed to not get charged too many times this year, electronics and the French don't mix :p

     

    If you do get to Malaga, head for Ronda, head north at Marbella, beautiful and challenging drive and Ronda won't dissapoint ;)

  4. Plymouth/Portsmouth to Santander, head east to Lekeito, overnight, head south to Ainsa, then onto Barcelona and Malga if you must.

     

    Millau is way out your way and is in France :dry:

     

    Alternative drive and not bump into any Brits, head west from Santander, to A'Caruna(great beach and fish resturaunts) along the coast, stay there for a fewv days and visit Santiago de Compestela, THE most beautiful city I've visited in Spain B) and a bonus that Portugal is only a few hours away

     

    Head back via Leon and Pamplona, I've got lots of routes for Spain, PM me for more info ;)

     

    Oh did 4.5k this year and just under 4k last year B) , not all in spain but about 1.5k both years :teeth:

  5. I ran an 8 for 4 years and you're so right, once the "wow" factor went for the ones that only saw a pretty motor, then reality bit. I do think, however that the Z range carries the confidence of having a conventional engine, rotaries are scary to the uneducated. This is why the residuals on the 350 are still pretty good, the 8 is suffering and they are becoming hard to sell, that coupled with the fuel consumption of a Ferrari is not good.

     

    If Nissan make a new Z in a few years, I believe it will be similar in power and size, may well be a hybrid as a few custom marks, ie Lotus, are going down this road.

  6. Just remember to take your poppies off after Sunday, short sharp reminder, that's what it's designed for.

     

    The pop at the muslims is unfounded, a minority of misguided individuals is not what reprisents a cognisive or indeed a persuasive argument, the same as the malcontents at Celtic park on Saturday.

     

    Let's not let this thread degenerate into a rant.

     

    God bless all who sacrificed their lives so we can say what we want on places such as this.
