Well 922 Miles and a couple of tanks of Super Unleaded later and i'm back home, it was a great drive and I did take the S8 into the city centre a few nights and drove out about 6-7am. Used the metro during the day. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, the only damage the car incurred was when a brick fell from the top a tall building onto my bonnet! The damage isn't that bad and I am just glad it didn't hit anyone on the head! Did get the S8 stuck on a beach in a village noone knew the name of! With a dead battery on all mobiles it didn't really matter if we knew where we were because we wouldn't have been able to tell someone where to actully come! It was so far out from any town and I thought maybe the only way we would be found is when someone reported us missing and the police activated the tracker on the S8, even more worrying was.. Was the tide coming in? It was also getting dark! We eventully managed to find some village people after a long walk who didn't speak english, they were great and tried to help bringing rakes and bits of wood to wedge under the tyres, eventully ( 2 hours later ) a farmer pulled up with a shotgun *ULP* after lining his pocket with a couple of euros he towed it out much to the appluse of the now big audience! Then a spirited blast to Calais and made the ferry in time, just!

All things considered I had a great time and would deffently do it again

P.S Pics of S8 stuck on beach to come..
