Have you tried driving without your shoes Julien? Worked well for me in the south of France a few years back!!

Unfortunately, driving barefoot or with flip flap, tong or sandal is forbidden

Today, oil change in preparation for the road trip season




ready for Le Mans !

I don't know if it's a problem in Scotland, but in the summer our legs and feet get really hot in the Elise. We were worried about extreme heat on our road trip in Spain, so we made this little device with PVC elbows: https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/12/98/45/57/20230938.jpg As soon as our legs get too...

Hi, I'am Julien

Lotus S2 111R 1.8 2-ZZGE, RHD, from an old member of this forum
Twingo 1 Phase 2 16v (the daily)
Citroën C3-2 2011 (for Madam)
Toyota LandCruiser L70 1985 (engine swap with the 3.0L TD ) full offroad equiped
Clio 2 RS (172 Hp)

Hello guys,
The biggest problem with forum (this one or other, whatever the subject) is lost images, so technical topic became an empty shell
In some forum, images are uploaded and hosted in the server of the forum, indirect link are forbidden.

Greetings, Julien

I Ross,
For our road trip, each year we are on the road at 2 for 2 weeks, 2/3 of the trunck for Madame and 1/3 for me
We use vaccum bags and a little pump.
Usually we made a washing machine at the middle of the trip.

Ross, is your Scottish kilt allowed ?

Taking also the Elise, we arrive on the morning of Friday, looking forward to offering you a drink

Hello,

Am loving the write-up and very envious of the trip. Do you know what the car in the last picture is? It's in even worse state than my Austin 7!

It's an old Citroën, a C2 or a C3, i'm not a specialist

Day 9 and 10 : Visit in Florence At least 2 days for visiting a marvellous city with a lot of palace and museum to visit. A lot of leather good store, and my wife found a nice pair of glove https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/12/98/45/57/20240135.jpg Day 11 : Florence => Nice(F) A long road to return to ...

Day 8 : Maranello => Bologna Visiting the Lamborghini museum, a small but very nice museum. The 350GT : https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/12/98/45/57/20240125.jpg The fabulous Miura : https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/12/98/45/57/20240124.jpg https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/12/98/45/57/20240123.jpg Countach ...

Day 6 : Bolzano => Venice Nothing special, two days to visite Venice and especially Murano and Burano two smaller island but much more lovely. We took an hotel outside Venice at "Mestre" and it's easy to reach Venice with a bus. The bus driver was likely a race pilot, full throttle, hard break and ...

I confirm, nice roads even in winter with my old 964 4wd and winter tires.

"Col de la Schlucht", "Grand Ballon", ...

Day 4 : Frolic around COMO (and the lake) => Bellagio Nothing special, again roads are in bad condition and very narrow along the shore of the lake. https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/12/98/45/57/20240108.jpg BELLAGIO is a beautiful small town to visit Take the boat and visit VERENNA a nice village : ht...
