A thought...I wonder if any of us UK Xfire owners fancy arranging a long week end run to France ths year, perhaps just to Brittany or Normandy, no great driving distances and there are lots of reasonable ways to reach France, Euro tunnel etc, and plenty of B&B's or well priced hotels..perhaps this is something we could chat about over a pint at the July meet.

I do that one regularly in a day! Me and the mates on the Booze and *** Run.
Seriously, leave Dudley area around 7AM, get home around midnight. 650 miles round trip but I use the PT Cruiser not the crossfire due to being able to take passengers and have enormous boot space. We do Eurotunnel as it is fast and maximises our time.
I have also done the run up to Bruges a couple of times, lovely city and an hour or so from Eurotunnel straight up the motorway. Very easy for a midweek or weekend break. There are a lot of options across the channel that are surprisingly accessible.
