Driving in France/Spain/Italy etc

Just to continue with the NSX owner's favourite pastime of spotting minute design changes from year to year, here is a pic of the lenses on my 1992.

Regarding sat-navs and routing, it is possible to plot a course on Google maps, download a gpx file which can be imported into some sat navs. You can then specify the exact route you want, and using Google is quicker than creating a route on a satnav.

There is even free software available just for this purpose that uses the Google map engine, and then creates a file for your sat nav.

I have created the route of choice to Le Mans, rather than take what the satnav gives me. I can then avoid the town, the crowds and get in to the campsite from the rear.

Good find Kevin. Do you have a link to the software?

I know you Leigh and Paul get on well, but I'm sure they will like it from the rear

My preferred route to Le Mans means skirting the town altogether and entering via the rear of Arnage (fnar fnarr)... overview here. If you're staying in Bleu, you can even shoot up the back way up the Heronniere, rather than getting dragged through the town itself. Probably saves at least an hour, even though it's a longer route...

Basically, come off the A11 at the first exit having gone the "wrong way" (ie all the signs for Bleu/Blanc etc will be pointing to the left and you head right), pass the Super U at the back of Arnage and head down the straight road with several car dealerships. At the roundabout at the end (where there's a petrol station on the right), take a left (almost doubling back on yourself) and just after the railway crossing, there's a turn on the right. Les Flics often have a Route Barrée sign there - if so, turn round and just head straight back through the roundabout and into Arnage.

I do similar, but as I come down the A28 (can't be bothered with the N138) I stay on it round Le Mans to the right, then head straight to the campsites, which in my case has always been Houx Annexe or Houx.
