I am not taking Roach to Brest anymore (time/work/oustanding maintenance is my excuse) so flying across. Anybody recommend a good centrally located character Auberge in Brest?
I dont really like these Holiday Inn Express thingies....

Have a look on the Logis de France website.

We have booked at a place called PLOUGONVELIN just to the West of Brest.
Were going in the MG, via Loire valley, god knows if we'll make it!

Very, very dangerous!!!
Thanks for the link - that is great! I am going via RyanAir, so no such temptations for me...

That's probably more dangerous than the MG!

Your MG will absolutely love it! I did two long trips in mine, including one to Poitiers over the severe storm new year of 2001/2 (from memory). Keep off the autoroutes if you can, many of the old roads have little traffic.
Enjoy!

MG should be ok, its and MGA 1500 but just had a rebuilt 1800 and 5 speed box and taller diff...we'll see..firt test drive is this evening.
We have flown Ryan Air a couple of times, its been fine, the only thing to note is that if they cancel the flight you are on your own! (which in this case could be a bonus as you'd have to sail back!)

Lucky people! Mine was a B GT. Since replaced by a Morgan - great fun but less practical for long distances - particularly when you have no hood rule unles there is a monsoon!

Yep, vigourously inforced no hood rule.
Previous car was a Healey 100M, a little to precious (and dropped a big end in Northern Spain but we dont talk about that) so sold it and MGA bought for half the money.

We will be at Brest too, crewing on a 1916 100ft yacht courtesy of some friends. We decided it would be more reliable than an MG.

MG. I immediately thought 'Maurice Griffiths' and how on earth were you going to sail along the Loire Valley!!
