And that's when everyone else went past you and why you didn't notice.

Edit: Enjoy the holiday and don't stress so much about Audis and BMWs. Think big: Porsche, Ferrari...

If you like tunnels then you're going to the right place!

We quite literally don't use the car in Monte Carlo, it's just too small and parking isn't exactly easy to come by. Easier to car watch on foot too!

Enjoy the trip!

Be careful. I got my m5 confiscated in France a few years back for speeding. They had it over there for 3 months and I had to pay the storage while it was out there.

Not trying to put a downer on your trip. Just a heads up.

[C36fan]

A nice area. I prefer the coastal villages, Port Grimauld, St Tropez, St Maxime and Les Issambres.

As you say the hilly roads are a joy to drive. I remember whacking a new Renault Espace round the mountain roads.
Stayed in a place called Collobriers one night. The village was shut down by 9:00pm and the mountain roads treacherous at night.

Stayed at Ste Maxime earlier this year, good fun to take the little boat over to St Tropez for lunch and avoid all the road traffic.
