Touring Spain

PostPost by: bast0n » Sun Sep 11, 2011 9:26 am

Good morning everyone!

I am off for a fortnights tour of northern Spain in day or so in the trusty S3 SE and wondered if there are any contacts there who may be could help in extremeis. I have used Club Lotus France to great effect when the dynomo went kaput. Club Lotus Spain did not reply to my emails.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Hello,
"northern Spain" is North coast or meditarrean coast ?

Club Lotus Spain is dead. (And mostly modern cars.)

- We are going from Santander to Rioja, Laguardia, to Leon and westwards to Santiago de Compostela. Then up to Cuidillero and along the coast towards Bilbao.

I am sorry to learn that Club Lotus Spain is dead. There must be people in that glorious country that like fine cars................?

Perhaps I could pop in and get the Sprint running for you!!

Hello,
I can give no recommendations on the North coast, I am sorry.
If you need help in the communications department, please contact me.

Regarding the Sprint, thanks for your offer, but Tarragona is quite off your route.

Spain has some quite interesting car collectors, but they dont take them out as much as elsewhere.
And for showing off they do more the "new shiny car" way, classics are mostly just old cars.
That does not mean there is no classic car scene, but it is a small batch of enthusiasts.

Again, contact me if you need help !

Regards
