  1. I'm glad you said that. I was beginning to think I'd gone to the wrong place. Might have to set it on 720 to stop it buffering.
  2. I'm selfish and I certainly wouldn't share it with you.
  3. Nowhere in Britain and before WikEkonapedia steps in, yes I've done Wales twice and Scotland twice. If the op wants to pm me, I'll send him a map for a weekend away and it probably won't cost him any more than going to Scotland from Coventry and it'll be a hell of a lot more fun.
  4. Yeah, I think the roads in France are good too, but today I crossed into Spain at Le Perthus and the N11 made the car seem like it was floating. I've experienced what you have in both countries. Fantastic. I only pay my road tax for 6 months just to get my car out of Britain.
  5. Really? Fancy meeting up? I'll be here: https://www.google.f...b7f965?hl=en-GB Not far.
  6. What timing! I'm here now in Ceret close to Perpignan and the Spanish border. Tomorrow over to Platja d'Aro for a couple of days then back westward as per the map (more or less). Then a couple of months to let the engine cool down and then the two other trips mentioned above. Wish you were here, MrT and Wendy.
  7. Alex and Gumpy - you guys are having a terrible time trying to pull this together. Maybe we should meet around at mine in Cromer. Only have the first part of this week though as I'm off to Spain Friday.
  8. A week on today on the 19th June, I'm off on my second of 4 road trips this year. This time to the Pyrenees. I'll put up some photos but not of meals in hotels. Boring. Map here: https://www.google.c...PI.kuleA2ittcw4
  9. A few photos of the Nissan contingent at a successul Sheringham show. Good to meet you guys.
  10. I'd like to ask another friend if that's okay. He, too, is not a Zed owner but lives in Holt.
  11. 10:15 will do. See you there then. Is that 3 of us then? Big then.
  12. Should be. Budgens again? Lol Budgens Sheringham? There's a Tesco or the main car park but the only Budgens I know of are Cromer and Holt. I suggest 10:45 to meet.
  13. Will there be a meeting point and time for the 2/3/ of us attending?
  14. Well hope to see two (2) of you at Sheringham on Sunday.
  15. Yeah, I missed this one last year. It advertises itself as a "Classic" car show but when I drove down last year in the family car, there was every kind of car, as you say. I don't have the Zed anymore but will pop over and say hello. So, yes, I'll be there, just before my Pyrenees trip.
  16. Quite possibly we could. We are passing through Luxembourg to our stop at Metz. Depends on timing.
  17. I've already been to Monte Carlo in April taking in the Route de Napoleon and the Col Ventoux. Next road trip is end of June to the Pyrenees. The August to the Black Forest And then in September back to the Pyrenees
  18. We're in Nice at the moment having done the trip from Macon (331 miles) on the Route de Napoleon. We got lost twice and had a long lunch stop due to waiting for two to catch up who had got lost. In the end, it took us 11 hours. Unless you're always on autoroutes, be pessimistic about the time it takes.
  19. Very optimistic. We drove from Lille to Troyes today on mostly RN and D roads with a bit of autoroute thrown in and it took 6 hours. Mostly I drove at +10mph over. On the autoroute you could do Basel in maybe 9 to 10 hours with minimum stoppages.

  20. Wendy, Try these for the June Spain tour https://www.google.c...user=0&hl=en-GB https://www.google.c...user=0&hl=en-GB https://www.google.c...user=0&hl=en-GB And the April tour on Sunday: https://www.google.c...user=0&hl=en-GB
  21. You asked for it. https://mapsengine.g...user=0&hl=en-GB https://mapsengine.g...user=0&hl=en-GB https://mapsengine.g...user=0&hl=en-GB Depart Portsmouth 20th June return Santander 5th July Booking the ferry might be difficult at this late stage but all the hotels are booked but I'm sure they're not booked up.
  22. I'm setting off on Sunday with 6 other cars to do this: https://www.google.c...PI.kNbXMeK5rd3w Interestingly about the same mileage as just going to the Highlands of Scotland never mind the islands, and a lot better roads. Pictures and a short write-up to follow.
