Winter Blues

[chuckie]

Got back from 10 days in Lanzarote and managed a week before the hard top went on for the winter.  s:( s:(  

Would have been intresting to try and get an MR2 as a hire car over there (looked like some cracking roads) but then again seeing the state of the 9 month old A Class I had as a hire car I think any 2s would be dead by now  s:scared: :scared: s:scared:

I got my MR2 in Feb this year just as the snow went, so winter could be interesting

We did 2 weeks in August, Hired a Mini Convertible and travelled the whole of the Island.

Roads are cracking, driving from the very north, over the volcano and down to playa blanca was unreal !

Had great fun except it was a bit warm - 43 degrees, even with the roof down it got a bit much.

I'd recommend hiring a car to anyone going to Lanza, well worth the hire fee.

I wasn't so impressed. You can drive round the whole island in a few hours and it's very samey. Found the same on Fuerteventura. On Lanzarote it seemed to me to be better to take the one day coach trip then at least you get a guided tour.

Each to their own though! I went several times so perhaps it was just me getting bored with the place.

Was there @ end of August - been a couple of times but as I was on holiday chose not to drive :p - did do a coach tour up the volcanoes etc (full day think) - found myself thinking that the road through the volcanoes would be great for some RWD action - very unforgiving tho if you lost it
