Due to expensive repairs and costs in my first 6 months of ownership I'm under pressure from my other half to part with my Boxster maybe after a year and put money towards wedding, house, etc - all the boring things basically!
It got me thinking that I need to do some serious driving in it to get the most from it and have great memories when the time comes to part. I really like the idea of doing a 10-14 day tour in the summer probably over my 30th birthday to add to the celebration across some nice scenic roads in Europe. Only done some very brief searches on the Internet and France, Germany & Switzerland all look like good options. Will only have time to do one country I imagine in the time frame getting the ferry from the UK to the driving destination. Posting to see if anyone on here has done this and good tips, places to visit with the all important open roads with great views and nice towns to stop at along the way?
