No good sending me any PMs for three weeks for E30 electrics advice, unless you strap them to a pidgeon and send it off in the direction of the Loire valley in France.
2500 mile E30 Touring LPG power trip with a ton of caravan in tow.
Was intending to go SE from Calais, visiting a little place known as the Nordsliezer (Sp?), again, but this has been vetoed by a higher authority. See you all!

Bye have fun, and don't forget some spare bulbs and a warning triangle, apparently the Froggies have been really anal recently, and any way I always find bulbs and fuses got at the most in oppotune time!

Have a good trip the Loire will be awesome this time of year - pity all the Frogs will be on holiday too! :wink:

not that you will be expecting to break any records with a caravan in tow but if you have any sort of radar detector then leave it well out of sight. I read recently of how a bloke on his way to Le Mans was deprived of his Road Angel( confiscated) by the Gendarme and also fined 750euros for the privilege.

Tight Froggy Bast*rds

Time was once you could blast to Monacco at any speed you car was capable of, and if you hit a cow or a peasant then all it took was 500Ff to sort it out. Ahhhh the words'a'changing :cry:

ain't that the truth

when i started going to le mans it was a full-on no-messing race down there.

this year i got fined a huge pile of euros for safely crossing a white line at about 5mph to pass my friend's car in a queue for a roundabout (as a joke)

then a month ago was driving my grandparents' golf diesel on an a-road at night and got flashed by a parked car in a layby, with a huge flashlight suckered to the rear windscreen (pointing at my eyes) and they got another big fine through. and apparently i may end up with points for it on my british licence :x

there's no excuse for speeding of course, but you can no-longer get away with it in france!!

Have you worked out how many bottles of wine you can safely tow in a caravan?

Have a nice time. :beer:
