Trip booked for new year!
A mate and myself have been planning a trip around Europe, never really thought we'd get around to planning it, more of a "book the ferry and just drive" attitude. But as we can't be assed doing the camping thing and the bar at hotels and local clubs are just too good to resist, we planned it through Continental Car Tours (the firm that arranges the European Ford Event trip with Fast Ford mag). Anyone fancy coming along?

Been there a few times snow boarding, but never driven it from here to there. Hired a car once, but didn't do anything as extreme as the plans above. I just wanna drive, stop and take pics through all 4 passes...can't wait!
Anyone else up for it?
