Just to show you can take classics abroad.

We travelled through Belgium,Germany,Austria,Switzerland and over the alps into France.

This picture was taken in the Gorge Du Verdon,near Castelane on the route Napolean. Fantastic road.!!

We "Wild Camped " many times,this picture was taken in the morning next to a lake we had camped at the night before!!!

Campervans set up in most towns overnight and we just joined them,don`t leave any valuables outside overnight and your ok.

We would set up the paraffin lanterns and red road lamps at night in front of our outfit to set the scene,the French and Germans thought us a little strange doing this ritual at first.
But soon liked the idea when we all stagered back from the village bar to be greated by the lights illuminating the nightcap area, Hic Hic!!!!

On the way back we even did a lap of the famous Nurburgring, we have also completed the curcuit in a Nissan van,Jaguar mk 11 and Honda VFR 750, this deserves a long weekend trip on its own,Fantastic!!!

The only downside was the cost of the petrol for the trip,but Heh Ho life is no rehearsel!!!

For a car that originally cost me £90.00,before I refurbished her, it proved old things do it better!!!
