    do they have toll roads in Germany ?

    never seen any

    Milan.
    There's one in the Eiffel mountains that is quite popular. Check your insurance policy though, its being explicitly excluded on many now.

        Costs about €14, but doesn't take you anywhere really, just around some old village. Good way too get a nice view of an old Castle if you're into that sort of thing, but many concentrate on the road and miss it. You see, it's quite twisty and most drivers have problems negotiating the corners so you have to keep your wits about you, but there is a taxi service available.

              It's a public road, so insurance companies excluding it is a little dubious, and they certainly can't get out of the third party liability.

              Strangely enough I've never spent a lot of time looking at the scenery on that particular road.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                No as you would expect from almost every londoner who cannot afford to buy a car and a parking space.
                I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                  Was sad to see my Alfa GTV go a few weeks back - lost 30% on what i originally paid for it a year previously, and it cost me nearly as much as what it cost in the group 16 insurance, and all the various repairs

                  ...... still, it was a great car - had a right laugh in it. But knowing it wont cost me anything any more is quite comforting. Im stealing the use of my lasses 1.4 fiesta in the meantime

                    Audi S3 old-skool 02 plate, ming blue, I bought it for £12.8k in Feb 2005, recon it worth about £11k now, hardley any depreciation. Also have a Fiesta 1.1L 1994 (also blue) for to and from the shops and station.

                    Would prefer a Porsche 996 but just dont to the miles to justify the cost, I drive 3.5k miles a year
