We're close to start a nice on the spot decided vacation trip to a top hideaway in the south of France ourselves now.
If weather stays hot 'n dry we plan to take the SVX, if there would be rain in the forecast we take the Mrs. Convertible. Cool Rolling with laughter
Now, in either case we think that we will have much more unused storage space than you had in your Beemer. Laughing
Good to hear the vacation went well. Thumbs Up
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
