A nice trip to Italy

[svenedin]

I live on the edge of South London. Londoners tend to think of distance in terms of how long a journey takes rather than actual miles travelled. The UK is densely populated with a lot of traffic that slows journeys down. As a student I studied in Edinburgh but my family were in Worthing on the South Coast. That journey is about 480 miles, depending on the route. I would drive overnight leaving at about 10pm and it was fairly painless except for trying to stay awake! In those days a lot of coffee and cigarettes. I would arrive in the early morning in time for breakfast and usually I would then go to bed until lunchtime.

Nickol...I was on holiday in France last month and saw this German-registered Traveller on the Ile de Re. You have a Doppelganger !

A nice idea and I would be pleased to write such an article but is travel in an old car in western Europe really interesting?

I thought that too when I drove mine from London to Munich a couple of years ago. I absolutely loved it but being that I had no major problems, I didn't think it would be that interesting to anyone else.

Downhill through one or two of the French national parks was a bit squeaky bum.

It looks in better condition than mine and has a red stripe rather than a black one, that mine has. The number plate is interesting. The red colour is indicative of a lower, perhaps cost free tax bracket, I do not know, but you are resticted to only being able to drive on public roads to classic events. whether ones abroad classify?

We may find out when I submit my completed script to the magazine . If it is rejected, we will know why.

ok, I will do this in the coming days and then you can tell me who and where to send the writing to.

This is the email address for the Minor Matters editor, John Carroll: minormatters@mmoc.org.uk

I'm sure John will be delighted to receive an article from you, although it may not necessarily be published in the first available issue, as it will depend on what is already in the pipeline.
