Spa Francorchamps - the long way.

[Another Peter]

My son and I have just returned from a week touring in France, Germany and then on to the classic weekend at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. We even popped into Luxembourg where the petrol is around a third cheaper than surrounding countries. This is what Stags were made for!

We completed 1,489 miles without a single problem – read that again, those of you with Stag paranoia!

The only thing the Stag cost us was (almost daily) fill ups with petrol and three jet washes We certainly had more than our fair share of bad weather but that didn’t stop our enjoyment. The decision to keep the hard top on was a wise one!

I must say that the Stag attracted a great deal of attention - I can only assume that they were not that common on the Continent.

I'm still waiting for Photobucket to upload all my pictures but here's some to be going on with. I’ve taken so many, but these are some of those featuring our favourite grand turismo.

Gentlemen, start your engines!



Into Germany on the way to the Ardennes





Destination! - this was not the main entrance!



Triumphs were there in force

A masterpiece of engineering (which one?)

Hi Peter, the Stag and the Mirage make a cracking pair ! Great pictures of a fabulous holiday, great stuff. Martin.

A master piece of engineering (which one?). From what I've heard from maintenance engineers who worked on them and pilots who flew them in the RAAF the Mirage had more engine failures than the Stag! I know which one looks prettier too! Cheers Raoul
