Typical Hugh , any excuse to post pictures of fit women in rubber suits you perv LOL ,some seriously good pics there m8 ( not many of you actually standing up on a board though ) looks like you had a great time. surprised the car didnt take off with all those aerodynamic shapes on the roof rack. did fuel consumption improve with the uplift ?

not any pics of me surfing - i think cos every time i was in the water the only other guy with a camera was in there too..

fuel consumption was unsurprisingly heavy - it was doing about 20-25mpg i recon.. 250 miles off a £35 tank, which isnt all that bad if you think about it..

i'm surprised the bloody thing moved at all

That's got to be Biarritz!
(And some Saint Jean De luz?)

Here this is for you, in case you miss that wonderfull waves over there!
Biarritz

its mainly anglet (just round the corner from biaritz - a 20 min walk??) but quite a few of the pics were in biaritz. i'm not sure where that second place you mention is??

I've been in St. Jean de Luz too with some friend when i was a little younger. We didn't get to surf, only boadyboarding. But i'm planning a surf trip to that area for this summer. Actually i first need to learn, that's why we want to go there

Saint-Jean de Luz is just south of Biarritz.
The waves are huge in the bay. I'm supprised you did not go there for a surf...
It is also the hometown of the brand Quicksilver.

I came back broken, the waves were really huge and strong indeed. We could go with a surf-class, but we thought it was pretty lame so we didn't do it. But i'd really like to try again!

What a nice final roadtrip for that little 340 DL...

Shame it's now over with the MOT that failed!

....

I have TINTED WINDOWS because it's a DL LIMITED EDITION

You don't have the GENUINE black badges

, the metallic paint and your alloys are ugly compared to mine

I have the lumbar support cause there are GLT seats inside now

HEADLIGHT wash-wipes and HEATED front seats > specific to the market in UK, I don't care
