Mind, you need the right motor and the right exhaust. nice loud pipes on a
V8, slow down to about 30, drop to second and floor it...

I assume the longest option includes caravans too. All prices are in
Euros, so multiply by 0.68 to get GBP.

Its cheaper than North Sea Ferries !

Steve Hi,

If you come from Italy landing to Corfu will make the ferry crossing
shorter.

Then you can take the ordinary ferry line (smaller boat) from Corfu to
Igoumenitsa after spending some time in Corfu which is an EXCELLENT place.

BUT be careful of the local drivers. They are quite simply MAD !!!!

Take care
Pantelis

P.S. An ex-girlfriend had a summer house in Corfu and I know the locals very
well.

Aye it does that an' all.

Hmm. With a standard Td5 auto and a tonne and a half block of flats on the
back, I doubt if it will be all that thrilling.

A Wealthy Dutch businessmaan once surprised his wife with a short
weekend break to Switzerland. When they got back he asked her what
she thought. Her reply was simply "Well it's very nice, but all of
those mountains get in the way of the view".

(This is true, by the way. Ask any Dutch nutter!)

Seems a good route.

was chatting with a taxi driver in the traffic London today - he suggested
that not many drivers would argue with a Land Rover, then grinning added:
except taxi drivers - I didn't have the heart to tell him he shouldn't
rely on any son of solihull having decent brakes.

buzzing around one Land Rover is an entirely different proposition from a

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get what you
asked for not what you wanted!

He who says it cannot be done would be wise not to interrupt her doing
it.
