Me and the wife were thinking of doing this, but wouldnt fit her shoes in :lol: Serious though we drove down to a lovely place called Javea back in 2002 but we used hire cars, we are on about doing it in the zed, so i just have to convince her we can fit every thing she needs into it. so yeh would love to, depending on the dates :?:

The Z is perfectly ok for holidays abroad you just have to be sensible with the clothes you take etc.
There is a group of us off to Lake Como for 10 days, on Saturday, and not only is there enough room for the luggage but I will also fit 24 bottles of wine in the car to bring back. The wine has to come in cases of 6 and some fits behind the seats etc
Sapphire black/Imola red and black interior/ red roof/ S54 - the only RHD one made.

We are moving out to Spain for good at the end of October (taking the Zed with us of course) so would be interested in maybe meeting up at some point or even offering a BBQ and drinks and a dip in the pool at our place if you are in the area. Any idea what areas you will be going to? Our place is in Murcia between Mazarron and Cartagena.

Plenty of Villas available that can take up to 16 People...

Example

Actualy I like the look of this place, it would cost £263 per couple (without any negotiation :twisted: ) for six couples...

But could find a let with outside space and a swimming pool.

Example 2
We will need to meet to discuss.

Hi Guys

After a great weekend at the pod and speaking to Wayne and Collette we would be up for this trip so it looks like we will need a another few couples to be able to get another villa.

If anyone else fancies it let us know on here so we arrange with TaffZee

Have you missed a trick by not taking in the Gorge Du Tarn and the Milleau Bridge :shrug

Same sort of distance, just a slightly different route through the south of France, would be rude not to! :D

Have a great time whatever you do :cheers

The plan is to get to Spain quickly the sight seeing can be done when we are on the way home. Through Paris on a Friday is a no go!!!! Although not as bad as people make out, came back through paris this year at 15:00 on a Friday Afternoon we were delayed for about half an hour.
