bought the driving vignettes permits today allows us to use the toll roads in europe

 

has anyone done anything similar, any advice or recomendations?

 

i do hope the lpg is plentifull there as its only 9mpg around town :blink:

 

another thing we found for the crossing to france your not allowed to take an lpg car on the eurotunnel only by ferry :yes:

I've driven to Budpaest 6 summers in a row. Don't worry about motoring offences in most countries except Austria. They'll have you constantly there! Motorway speed cameras aren't a problem and neither is motorway/toll tax most the time unless you're in austria. Although I see you've already taken that into account. One bit of advice... air con. I hope for your sake you have it, if so, make sure it's topped up and works fine. you'll need it! Are you guys driving back too? I got a car that may need picking up from Stuttgart soon.

Some great advice there matey thanks never driven abroad before so just making sure were legit as we look like an emergency car or imitating one then were ripe for pulling over LOL

 

the speed limit i was told they take your liscence off you in france if your 30km over the limit not much is it really :huh:

You're not gonna be in France for very long so don't worry too much. They also say you need a spare lamp kit, fluorescent jacket and fold out hazard sign but in all the times I've been stopped they have never checked.

Thats true, but the power of ebay has helped me out £15 for all the essentials just incase pc plod gets a bit padantic

did the vinyl wrap lastnight what a bloody job to work with but looks better now ill update more pics soon :)

I did Barcelona Bangers in June. My advice would be to stock up on eggs, flour and yogurts because you will be needing them to throw at the other bangers. Keep your windows up while stationary around other bangers because they will take advantage and launch water / eggs at you. Plus it is a banger rally religion to shunt each other at toll queues!

^ Better advice than all of mine!

oh my god yes ofcourse the eggs and flower :) how could i forget them

 

and the shunting too ah we have a freind in their little fiat and were in a huge lexus v8 i htink were going to bully them all the way LOL!!
