4 of us Brits took a road trip last week to the Old-timer GP at the Nurburgring.
The original plan had been for me to take my 914, but a gearbox failure put paid to that so I went in my 911.
The trip actually started 2 days before the event in Germany, with Stephen (defianty) flying out to meet me in Brittany (western France), where I'd been spending time with family.
Stephen and I spent a day and half driving all the way across France to meet our friends at Spa in Belgium, before convoying to Nurburgring.
Since Stephen and I were not rushed, we plotted a route to avoid autoroutes (freeways), and instead only use two lane (and sometime single lane!) roads all the way.
On Day 1, we stopped off at Le Mans:
Had lunch at the famous "Hotel De France", favourite place to stay during Le Mans for many famous drivers since the 50s:
Took turns at thrashing the 911 over fast and clear French country roads:
Before overnighting in Reims, bubbly capital of France's Champagne region.
