Holiday in Europe
Hello,
Well time has come for the ultimate test for my car. European driving! Well at least that's what I am thinking of doing in September. Or to be precise driving to Odense, Denmark. I have a friend there that I would like to visit and it gives me a week off work!... Perhaps with a stopover in Amsterdam
Just wondered whether anyone has done European driving in their 406's and what problems/costs I should expect? My insurance seems to cover Europe for 30 days but what else do I need? Is it worth getting European breakdown cover (I don't even have one for UK tho!)? That GB sticker on the back. Do I need to tell anyone I am going abroad? And I don't mean my mom!!!!
Cheers !

Sounds like a right laugh
Yeah....and knowing your luck miniman you'd be able to shag one of those really fit 'window ladies' and when you go to pay she will simply say ''That should be ?100.00 but I'll let you have it for ?20.00''.

Please delete your silly statement on your Sig..... (I find it to be too offensive)
*leaves the room muttering 1700, 1700, 1700, 1700..........shakes head*
I even looked at your frigging car photo (with optional sun roof) earlier at work just for proof.......
