rogerguzzi Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hello All Well here we go again off on another Adventure to Spain & Portugal (what could possibly go wrong?) Here is a map of the general route we be taking its about 1500 miles over there plus 320 miles in UK so about 1800miles in all We set out tomorrow morning early(4am!!!!) to catch the 8.45 am ferry at Portsmouth to Bilbao. We are loosely calling it Castles and Walled towns (we hope?) So at the moment we are rushing around like headless chickens(but at least I have not got the radiator out this time to fix the oil leak!) We will keep you updated and post photos to encourage others to do it Roger & The Memsahib (Margaret) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Bon voyage Roger, I did similar in TR4 years ago, great fun and memories.. I was ‘matching signal red’ as the car driving just in shorts! - (Can you get the radiator out of a 2 without pulling all the front off?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Good luck Roger, have a safe and enjoyable trip. Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rogerguzzi Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hello All We had been on our usual walk about(pub crawl)last night We had had some nice rose wine and tapas but the icing on the cake was passing the volunteer fire station(seen earlier) Then being cheeky and saying can I take photos of the old fire engine! Well it just got better they were all over us like a rash and the next thing we knew they had got the 1921 Packard fire engine running all be it a bit rough We did not push our luck and ask for a drive! but we did ring the bell! Its been a non driving day today(off to Guimaraes tomorrow) Roger & Memsahib Quote Link to post Share on other sites
