Me and the wife have just got back from our euro trip in the vx. We did 2300miles and loved it. The little plastic tub didnt miss a beat. We visited France (lyon, Monaco, Italy (pisa, bologna and Lake Como), Switzerland (alps and zurich) and Luxembourg. So heres a few pics of our travels.

A quick stop off in Reims on the way to Lyon





Monaco



Maranello the land of Ferrari.





And a few from the lakes and the Alps. Definately our favorite bit. Some awesome roads here.









Sorry its a bit pic heavy but we all love pics on .org

Literally just returned from loads of those places. We went Reims - Macon - Monaco - Agay - Gap/The Alps - Millau - bit more coastal roads - Le Mans - Reims. Did you stay in Monaco/what dates were you there, be a shame to have missed each other after all that distance and been in the same town!

We did actually lol. The pic outside the main gates was a quick jump out and click as men in suits started to appear. And Speedster590 will get in touch for our trip next year!!!

Yea we stayed in Monaco at the port palace hotel which was lovely. We were ther on the 5th and 6th may so it was good to see alot of the circuit set out.

@ pete-r Susten won't be open in three weeks time ! There's still loads of snow in the alps. By Furnace you surely mean Furka ??
