We then headed down to the French/Spanish border area near Collioure
Chased a DB6 all the way to the Spanish border at Cerbere
and then came back via the Gorge du tarn and the Millau viaduct

Really looking forward to our trip in the S which we are doing in August. Great inspiration for routes in this thread.
What did the three of you take with you in the way of spares / tools ?
I'm thinking :
Litre of oil
fan belt
complete light bulb box
some fuses
Thanks,
Ben.

I carried a pretty comprehensive tool kit + a lot of spares ( just in case). Spares were stuff like coils, points , cdi box, plugs + plug leads, rotor arm, dizzy cap , wheel bearings, fan belt, fuses, bulbs, oil, clutch cable, brake fluid, etc etc ..
Don't forget the legally required stuff like high-vis jackets for all ocupants, warning triangle.
BTW, a lot of my spares are used items I have replaced on my car .... I keep the stuff I remove & put it in the spares box
