Thanks for the input YOU GUYS
I've been looking into it a bit more the last few days and driving to Italy and touring there does sound better now, I could even take in the San Marino MotoGP if I do that.
I'd really prefer to take my car, it's a 335i manual (with indicators), best car I've had and should be good fun.
Good point about the headlight converters though, don't want to be dazzling the polizia.

Make sure you go before March 29, 2019.
As anyone under 25 will tell you, you won't be allowed to go to Europe after that.

Might be an idea to get a dash cam rigged up, monkey wrench under the seat well (just in case)and some non GB plates, don't want to stand out and rub our European friends noses in it, post Brexit.

There is a reason why they refer to Britain as, "Treasure Island".

Just drive down through eastern France then concentrate on the top half of Italy. Getting there and back is four days so give yourself a bit of time to relax. Unless you're mental and really do want to drive 300 miles every day for 8/9 days.

Hello Mrs. Jones 12:52 Tue Mar 21 has it right, incognito on foreign plates and no mileage on your own car or better still a motorhome if driving is your thing.

think you can buy a kit to be driving legal in France - yellow jacket, triangle etc. Take car reg document (or a copy) too just in case.
Most folks I met in France were saying good on you for Brexit - they hated the EU bollox expect ticker tape parade and offers to sleep with their sisters (or mothers)

The Breathalysers are a tenner for 2 and can be purchased at the port.
Put your car on the train at Folkestone, 35 mins later your in France
45 mins later and 1 road your in Belgium. You go past Dunkirk which is worth a stop if you into that sort of thing

Its not duty free. Its the fucking EU you spazz.
However. I have found that beer in Belgium is very very cheap so I would stop there and bring back loads of Belgian beer.
