After a few years of not using the seven for any trips, mainly due to me upgrading things we finally got a couple of trips in the car in 2008. Plus, of course, there were some great holidays in the past.

A long weekend to take in the Classic Le Mans race with a load of 7's from the local area meeting.

A weeks holiday in Spain visiting my parents near Girona.

A fantasticly well organised mini-break which resulted in 1400 miles on some of the best roads in Scotland and it didn't even rain.

The first trip with Mandy in the passenger seat. A week away split over two hotels with a day spent up on top of Mt Blanc - which one of life magic moments.

A trip that took in France, Belgium, Germany and breifly a wet Luxemburg.

My father and I went on this trip the year after seeing the pictures of the previous trip in the club magazine, Low Flying.
