Here are some photos from our recent trip to the French/Spanish Pyrénees, we covered nearly 3000 miles and quite literally visited every major city in the South West, there were some mighty mountains and testing mountain passes/hairpins

petrol was slightly cheaper than in the UK especially Andorra @ approximately 75p/l

and we did manage to get a glance of the impressive Millau bridge

:

and here's a collage of some photographic panoramic views, hint - spot the Minis, enjoy

correct

, and trying to hang on around a hairpin aswell, in fact it took several continous shots to get the right angle and composition.....

Took a couple of practice shots as it was dusk and the shutter had to be opened longer than usual..

Few pics of my Mini Cooper S on our new drive way, Laury you can park your Mini next to it now as there is space for 2 cars

David_MCS · Aug 29th, 2006, 01:38 PM

Laury: Is there any chance you could send me the full size/quality picture of http://www.mini2.com/galleries/data/...s_2006_31_.jpg...

I don't want to make your Mini look inferior plus there's a pick up truck blocking the access

David, it will cost you, only joking, let me know what size/dimension (eg 1280x800, etc) you prefer so I can prefectly crop it for you

Had a fantastic time, we practically drove every day non stop until we returned back to Paris, the iternary was basically wake up early morning, drive straight to several destinations, spend the whole day touristing around, then driving back early evening - highly recommended
