350 miles with the roof off

Post by Dietcokeman » Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:24 pm

Did Buckinghamshire to St Tropez earlier this year, in a day, roof only up on the ferry, then two weeks around Europe , France Italy, switerzand etc and only had to put the roof up at night and when we weren't driving . Fabulous two weeks camping , my Mrs who is Turkish originally and never gets sunburned ! Got very burned on the first days driving .
