That big long bridge in France!!!!

Ok, im sure you all know what i mean... There's a new, long, very tall bridge in southern (I think) France - and i'd like to see it or go over it (Its the Civil Engineer in me, sorry)...

Anyway, will be be going anywhere near it Mr Tom???? Pretty Please...

Just googled it...

Its the Millau Bridge, tallest road bridge in the world... and is in the Massif Central

Found a better link:

Apparently its on the A75 (North West of Montpellier)

pretty please....

Great idea!

Must be a good place "(Millau is best known outside France as the place where Jose Bové dismantled a McDonald's restaurant)", the French, love or hate them, at least they stand up for themselves.

And have the best wine!

Sorry, but the short answer is NO. As you say, it's in the Massif Central, so we would have to add on another day to take that in + another day for the Nurburgring + especially for drivers of Series III's at least three days to visit all the wine caves en route ...

Not this time I'm afraid.

Now there's an idea for next year. In addition to Landy Rally`08, we could have Marathon Landy Rally spanning March, April, May and June a little tour of all the countries that make up the European continent:-

10 Eastern Euro countries
16 Northern Euro
16 Southern Euro
9 Western Euro
1 Central Asia Euro
3 Western Asia

Incredible, I never knew the continent included Asian countries like Kazakhstan ... so Borat IS our cousin!

Well I'm up for it, who else is game?

that sounds an awsome trip, shame i have A-level exams i will see you on landy rally 08 if we make it back from 07
will the route be differant?

cheers kieran

isnt that the bridge that top gear showed?

Yes and yes

Sounds good Tom. reckon it needs a discussion over a glass or two.
