This has to be you lot on this vid. Somewhere in the Southern France?

Around 3min 35 sec

Just one of the many trips the members do Stace...

It says it's Folkestone and they're driving on the left, so not SoF!

So maybe they were on there way....;)

You could ask Nico, or Paul Hassell, thats 2 of the cars, I cant be sure of the other.

Chris Jarvis could no doubt tell you, he can tell a lightbulb at 1/2 a mile so this would be a walk in the park.

Wherever they went, lets hope they had a good time.

It's Sando, Chris and Jane, Nico and Paul H.
I didn't know anything about this myself, until these youtube vids showed up, but I fully understand why the run hasn't been broadcast.

At least it got you all guessing !!!

it was all the above with me and Helen, Jerry and Sue Bailey, Geraint and Caroline Davies,It was christened Tour d'Auvergne, 2500 miles in 10 Days, fantastic weather, fantastic company and we all had a great time

try you tube Tour d'Auvergne 2014 for a brief vid

Phil

I figured as much.
The best way to make it feasible.

Nice video Phil / Rob.

Good to see that road trips ARE still possible, great looking scenery and roads.

Yes they but it takes a fair bit of time and effort !!.... I arranged it... Tunnel, hotels, routes..... Etc etc.... Stayed for 6 nights in my farmhouse, all food was at a friends chateau to try to keep costs down. We also visited Chartres, Lake Annecy and Reims on the trip as well as the Michelin factory museum, Viaduct de la Millau, Mont Dore, Puy de Sancy, Ambert and le Puy en Velay..... It was worth all the effort

Well Hats off to you....great job.

Say Phil, as you know we need an events organiser, fancy giving it a go for the club?

Ok, 'trivia question;
Who's Millau's famous son? (As far as the likes of us are concerned, that is.)

Well the obvious answer is Norman Foster but I suspect that I've missed the point here?

That was going to be my next trivia question. Yep, British designed.

No, Norman's not from Millau, as far as I know. I can't give a clue, it would make it too easy.

All right then, 'inhabitant' rather than 'son of', but yes, you'd have won a prize, if there was one.
Apparently he was an Ambulance driver, maybe like this 'pedal to the metal' Peter Gilmore character (here).

Yes Guy, with the overdub that sounds like a works XK Jag engine.

A sight that you don't see very often and it wasn't staged, all came of the motorway for fuel and food stop.
