Le Grand Tour

[Supra_Natural]

I may have been drunk when we came up with the idea. I admit it.

It was Hogmannay, 2007. Scottish New Year. I was in Edinburgh, having been invited by Izzy and Jade, two long term friends and lovers of fine cheeses. Izzy was in bed, leaving Jade and I in the living room of their waterfront apartment, amusing ourselves with cheese and wine. I don’t recall how it happened, but by sunrise we had both agreed to bugger off around Europe in a car. The WHOLE of Europe.

Thus begins one of the most interesting road trip type stories I've read for a long time... Its by a guy based in the Uk who decided randomly to take a trip around europe in an audi he bought for 1000 pounds, with No real plan or anything. IMO its a really nice read. It'll run in three parts, one and two are already up. Check it out...

PS, his other stuff is also pretty good.. hes basically trying to be a one man car magazine and he makes a decent fist of it.
