    I did Roscoff to Monaco and back via Geneva in my Scrooby WRX a few years back. Stopped at every petrol station from Roscoff to Monaco too. Enjoyable run so it is, but next time I would take a serious mile muncher Scaglietti or FF maybe or a Continental GT anything else would just be too frenetic

    Default option - Octavia.

    p.s. It'd have to be a convertible - maybe an Audi R8 V10?

    I'd take my own car off the ferry. I imagine people would get pissed off if I tried to take theirs

    I'd like to drive a red Austin Mini Cooper around Monte Carlo to do the Paddy Hopkirk but I'm not sure it'd be a comfortable drive down from Calais.

    How about a Drophead Phantom?
