Yesterday we blatted north to south on Route Napoleon from 100 miles north of Gap to Nice on motorcycles sans pillion and luggage , yes, 36 pairs of the wife's shoes in the top box.
It was 35c , far to hot for biking so we hit 3 figure speeds on the remote stretches........great fun on a twisty road.
But we could not shake off an early Austin Healy, the one with the 'octagonal' grill, on Austrian plates and right hand drive.
No steering assistance, no anti lock brakes ( probably no brakes ) , no stability control, ecu. Doris and no Corsas. No turbo's. Brilliantly driven .
Made me wonder what we lucky MP12 owners moan about. Just get out there and have fun!
