The Details:-
Welcome to Barcelona Bangers

Barcelona Bangers is a Rally with a difference, imagine driving from Calais, down through central France and on to historical Lyon, then over the French Alps, yes you read that correctly, OVER the French Alps and on to fashionable Nice on the French riviera, on the final day we drive along the south of France and into Spain where we drive along the Spanish Mediteranian coast and on to Barcelona on the Costa Dorada, sounds fun! then come and do it in a car worth less than £200..

Here's an idea: A friend of mine drove an old VW bus across Europe once, she got AA European cover before she left and they didn't seem to mind being called out five times...
