I've been eyeing that one up for a while now. Problem is they've tightened up the requiremtns on the vehicles so it has to be LHD now or one of the countries involved wont let you in.

Now if I could lay my hands on a cheap LHD landy.......

I can see it now..Team CUK

I had a friend who did the banger one, great fun, he did cheat a bit by getting an old Merc 190 though (like that will ever break down)

All cars must cost less than £100 and you get a £15 preparation limit, who’s got that big blu Volvo?

The enjoyment is the drive etc

I admit - Beaujolais not really my favourite.

We do the Le Mans 24 Heures every year and the drive down is fantastic

Yes the Beaujolais hype is a brilliant marketing ploy by French vintners. They must be laughing all the way to the bank. It isn't that good.

Yes but speeding through France makes it worthwhile

I like a glass of red every now and then but it can't be that good can it?
