Picking up on an incidental remark that I made in a thread in the Members Lounge, and Zingari's response to it.
I will be making a round trip to Barcelona in my 964 in September. As Z observed, this should be an epic trip and I am really looking forward to it. It's built round a couple of days of business meetings, and the fact that I expect to retire at the end of the year - so my travel costs will be largely covered, up to a maximum of equivalent air/rail/taxi fares. It'll cost me a little bit extra for a couple of overnight stops en route but it seems too good an opportunity to miss for an expenses-paid long-distance jaunt that the 911 was designed for.
The old girl didn't miss a beat on an 800 mile round trip to Scotland last summer. Having recently had a full overhaul of brakes and suspension (the latter was still the original 26 year old kit ) I'm hoping that she will take the 2000 miles to Barcelona and back in her stride. I've done the trip before in the daily driver on the same basis - solo out, return with daughter sharing the driving.
Wish me luck! :flag: :driving:
