........Would have happily 'given you a drink'........ ...but not the "rump" of a case, I bet.  (read the op again) In reality, bimbling South for three weeks along the Franco-German border (with a possible feint into Luxembourg) was the plan, but I suspect we'll probably head down further West through Burgundy instead, then cut across to the Black Forest and Freiburg, before returning via the Mosel (and then possibly Luxembourg). Much will depend on the weather - though it isn't a Classic VW, the motorhome motocaravan campervan gives us all the freedom already discussed on those posts. Interesting really, as we have long-term been Francophiles, but nowadays tend to prefer other destinations, and haven't spent much time in France for a few years. |

...y'see, class, cred and cachet are alright, but if they only get you as far as Warrington (plucking a place at random from the air) without breaking down, and you end up watching the sun set over Bank Quay station and the Lever's detergent factory, then they really don't cut the mustard. (The surfing's none too good on the Mersey, either; your board would probably dissolve long before you could "hang five").
No, I'll sacrifice it a bit to be able to get further; to the warmth, and sit and sip a decent local Pinot Noir or "Hochgewächs".
Anyway, why should I take style tips from someone who drives a Lancer to trainspotting, and is considering draping a caravan awning over the back to hide/disguise it?

There is a certain je ne sais quois, an innate self confidence, a time and place in shooting off to le continent in a well worn, clearly aged and slightly battered carriage, Fits in well on the streets of la belle France.
