Yes indeed, welcome to the club & forum.

More Spanish Vagaries: If You Are Aiming to Drive to Cordoba . . . Last year we spent a couple of days in Cordoba in May. Principally, we went to see the 'patios' when they were all abloom. We were driving to Cordoba and got a good deal at the hotel which had its own underground car park and was sit...

Or using PLUGS on the ends of mains cables to power equipment, so if the plug comes loose, it's live and dangerous (As my then infant daughter found at the hotel we were in). Particularly in older properties in Spain; where you might be lucky and find one power point which has an earthed connection...

The requirement to carry two reflective triangles was introduced about two to three years ago. I think the rearward facing triangle has to be about 50 metres back from the car.

Allowing for the vagaries of the Spanish legal system, probably yes.

That's one I wouldn't like to put to the test.

I wouldn't mind the two bottles of French wine, but skip the driving!

Welcome to the club.

That is a seriously cool looking car, with power to back it up.

It is actually recommended that you carry two of the breathalysers in you car. One to use if demanded by the police, or self use, and the other so that you are not travelling illegally (i.e. without a breathalyser) until such time as you are able to replace the one used.

Sorry, I don't know how I managed to double up on this post, but if an administrator could delete one of the posts I would appreciate it.

EDIT Already done ( Lawre93 )

A note or two for those that might drive through France to Spain. When driving in Spain it is obligatory to carry two warning triangles and two hi-vis reflective waistcoats. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a motor breakdown, or be involved in an accident; the warning triangles are needed, on...

Thanks to everybody for all the welcomes. It's great to be greeted like that. The suggestions for a road trip over here have serious merit. With 300 - 320 days sunshine in a year, driving is a real pleasure, combine that with the reduced level of traffic here, especially once you are off the coast r...

Hi All, I was persuaded to explore the alternative coupé owners forum by Dupe, so you have got him to blame for my presence here. I'm still exploring and finding my way around the forum bit by bit, but it looks like there is lots of interest. Out of all the car's I have owned, I still enjoy driving ...
