Right, although it will be in March I'm starting to think about what we should do with the new car on the day/weekend we collect it.
We have ordered from Derby, so that's the starting point. (We live near melton Mowbray so that's our return destination)
my first thought was to go to Bruges for the weekend. Arrive at the garage with an overnight bag and throw it in and go. Tunnel, few nights, lovely.
But then the thought of a brand new car munching motorway miles for the first few hundred doesn't seem a good way to run in really, unless anyone can think of a good route from derby to the tunnel not on a motorway or dual carriageway.
A couple of other thoughts, wales EVO triangle and stay in Betsy or Manchester, snake pass etc but cameras everywhere, return through Buxton etc.
Maybe do the Manchester run on the collection day then Bruges the next day?
just want to spend a decent amount of time in the car, good roads etc etc
