Just back from another trip to the Alps, this time on the French side based in Annecy. Fabulous place, but not always perfect weather as some of my pictures show. VGJ never missed a beat in just under 2,000 miles of mixed motoring, really eating up the empty D roads, which have almost faultless surfaces. They are not quite to German standards, but very good, and in a different world to the roads we have to endure here in the UK. You'll see we also stopped off at the old Reims circuit - been there a few times now, but not since they re-painted the buildings and smartened things up. I preferred the old decayed look.
