Assorted pictures from the recent run with Simon and our travelling companions through Europe which took in France, Italy and Switzerland

over 7 days and 1950 miles. Another unforgettable experience following on from our France tour in 2015 (which included Joel).

 

 

Day 1 - Home to Portsmouth and then ferry crossing to St Malo. Stopped off at Mont Saint-Michel and then down to our first night’s stop at Berry-Bouy.

Great thread Andrew and love the road trip in pictures. Nearly 2000 miles in 7 days in a 300zx just sounds epic especially when they are over 25 years old and people tell you they are temperamental and always break down but this just shows you if you take care of your Z then it wont let you down. Thank you for sharing :thumbup1:

Wow amazing scenery and a great drive.

Great photos Andrew! Wonderful time. The Zs ran great and got a lot of attention, even in Monaco, really surprised how much attention they got there! I guess folk get bored of seeing Ferraris all the time!

Very nice thread Andrew, wonderfully put together, a joy to scroll through :biggrin:.

Looks like a fantastic trip. Nice Pcis, both Z's look sweet. :clap:

Thanks for sharing Andrew, looks like an epic trip [emoji106]

Some great pics there, thanks for sharing. Would love to do something similar at some point

Excellent trip guys! Reminded me of the trip I did this time last year! We need to plan something similar to this for the big 30 and get lots of people involved. More trips like this need planning anyway! Great pictures and is that a fake horse in the garden of your italian hotel (day 4)?

Did you guys manage to drive route nap in the end?

is that a fake horse in the garden of your italian hotel (day 4)?

 

Yes! The garden had a number of brightly coloured animals including a red gorilla!

 

Did you guys manage to drive route nap in the end?

 

Yes, see day 3.

Great photos. The roads and scenery look fantastic!

Fantastic photos Andrew - thank you for sharing!!

 

That's certainly an epic Zed adventure; and a testament to just how good a GT car the Z32 is..... I am pleased you all had a great trip:thumbup:

Great pictures of a brilliant Zed trip. The cars look great and it sounds like they ran well. I'm officially jealous!
