Did you see the program GT Racer on Dave today?
It was all about racing classic GT cars round Spa and they had loads of the cars that feature in HistorX. Great to see the real things being thrashed round Spa :D

I've seen that series several times. There's one about the American scene from Laguna Seca. I always watch them as if for the first time. Luvly! :)

I'm going to be touring round Europe for the next 3 weeks so you wont see me online for a bit :narnar:

We're going to be catching a ferry to Dunkerque then driving through Belgium to Germany.

First stop in Germany is Holiday-park, this has one of the top rated coasters anywhere in the world (I love coasters) -

Then driving down to Freiburg, Germany, to go on the highest/fastest roller coaster in Europe
http://www.coasterforce.com/Silver_Star - also this coaster, Blue Fire, at the same park - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNMBQssRTzU

Then, weather depending, we are aiming for the Top Gear best driving roads - http://www.redlineblog.com/top-gears-worlds-best-driving-road-in-detail/ (not the Turini one)
This means going South East through Switzerland and into a bit of Italy. Then from the San Bernardino Pass driving to Chamonix for the Aguile du Midi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiguille_du_Midi (check out the pictures), and then on to Laragne. Hope to stay about a week and a half at Laragne then drive straight back up through France.

Rough route down is like this -
