Great video for those of us who’ve missed our European road trips this last couple of years. Two years ago, I was driving down to Angoulême for the Circuit des Ramparts and the French roads and sunshine on this video brought it all right back. Unfortunately, it makes me wish my life away in anticipation of what I have planned for next year. So refreshing to watch videos where the subject - cars/roads/travelling - is not obliterated by the presenter’s ego. Good work.

I came for the cars, but I now value your delivery and joie de vivre as much as, if not more than, the automotive content. A real antidote to the dark side of life over the last 18 months. Oh, and I have learned much more about farming than I have in 25 years of living in the middle of a rural farming community. Keep it up - a real joy!

We are probably around the same age, and mutually gifted with fathers who preferred high performance European cars and had the means to own them. My dad went through the top British, French, and German marques. The car that left the strongest impression on me in my formative years, and prompted me own several examples of that brand after I grew up, was my Dad’s Jaguar Mark 2 compact sports sedan. This was the M5’s predecessor, but with far more comfort and sex appeal.

I think that 5.0 supercharged V8 is an absolute gem of an engine. Thanks to sticking with the supercharging, it delivers lots of shove from really low down making it enjoyable in so many more scenarios. Sounds great too! I had the less powerful version in the XK-R and miss it when I see videos like this! Fuel economy you were getting was great. Last trip we did down to near Pau in a Discovery Sport (fully loaded with Dog, roof box & back box) was 30 mpg in a diesel and autoroute nearly all the way! Swapped to the tags a few years ago and they are great. Still a bit nervous about the 30 kph lanes, but do find it amusing watching all the French behind you avoid the lane you choose as they assume the daft English car will get stuck!

I too owned a supercharged AJ V8, rated at 370 hp, in my 2001 Vanden Plas Supercharged (the U.S. name; in Europe the Daimler Super V8). In Jaguar’s best tradition, its sedans are hundreds of pounds lighter than their German rivals and so transition faster in corners, yet they also deliver superior ride quality. My 4200 lb sedan’s 11:3 pounds per horsepower ratio was optimal for any kind of driving. This “Project 7” has a bored out and over-boosted variant of the AJ that, at 575 hp, seems excessive. But due to the horsepower pissing contest among rivals in this sector, Jaguar’s upping the AJ’s power was required. To those who think you can never have too much power, I beg to differ. As I piloted a 500 hp F-Type on a test drive, the sales guy suggested I step on it. I did and the experience was terrifying. The first-gen F-type was known for its tendency to snap oversteer, and this is the last thing you want when you get on the throttle a bit too early as you exit a corner. I will never shake the sensation of panic I experienced as the guard rails came flying towards me. I caught it, but was thereafter chastened while cornering, which greatly diminished the car’s fun-to-drive quotient.

Can't believe I've just driven roughly the same route to Frejus, S of F - 10th September and returned back on the 18th. We've had the Tag too few years now - absolutely invaluable on French Motorways. The mountain pass - what a great road to drive. Cannes to St. Raphael on the DN7 - try it if you haven't - stunning climb and decent with epic bends and spectacular open views. So I drove the tour in the newly acquired BMW X5 45e MSport based on your recommendation. Fuel consumption wasn't as bad as I thought it would be on the longer journey given I bought it based on 85% of my driving being below 40 mile per day trips. Left Frejus at 8.30 am - arrived back home - Leicestershire at 2.30am - 18 hours including stops - 925 miles covered. Journey back to England achieved 31.6mpg sitting at 83mph on active cruise control and managed to regenerate 76 miles of electric (ie no charge on set off). What a great car it's been - quiet, smooth (particularly on French roads) and the clever electric regeneration based on your Sat Nav destination is quite simply amazing - ie knowing when to harvest at roundabouts and coming up to other vehicles in front but free running when empty road and slowing down. Is a completely different way of driving - trying not to use brakes! The longer journey really showed how it all worked especially the controlled steering in traffic - no hands on wheel - - just flashing display when the wheel needed touching to inform the car that you hadn't joined the passenger in Zzz's. So otherwise day to day I'm getting around 45 miles in elec with revised driving technique - at a cost of around 90p on low tariff. And don't you just love the quality and information of Head Up Display? Sorry I've harped on about the X5 but one last thing.... the Sat Nav information provided on the continent seems so much more rich in content to that of the UK? Traffic detail ahead by colour coding is exceptionally accurate along with breakdowns - why not on UK roads where we get flash ups at least two hours out of date? Keep up the brilliant narrative .... a joy to listen and watch.

Oh, it's good to be back on the continent with Harry on a road trip. Halfway through the video and love the mundaneness of driving the autoroute with Harry, like driving with an old friend. Superb.

Got a Eurotag a few years ago for our runs to Southern Germany through France, was great driving at the barrier the first time with my regular ‘ballast’ companion who was used to being Tolls man. So easy and saves good time on a long trip

Some of the worst rain I've ever driven through was just north of Rouen on the way to the Le Mans 24hr. Whilst peering through the spray, we were overtaken by a couple of Morgan Three-wheelers, who looked drenched, but like they were having the time of their lives.

After watching Your Hcoty and round up, I've searched back for Your P7 roadtrips... Definitely worth it! 😎👍🏼Love that car, now I've watched and heard it! Colour 💚 I'm amazed that Mrs Metcalfe is so accommodating and extremely jealous, after sharing Your vids with my Mrs... No way She would be happy with the jump seat on relatively fast trips 😂

Harry…a dream trip even though a large part was more determination than enjoyment. Our “German Invasion” tour in 2019 seems an age ago but we hope to do more next year. It is a long time since I was touring French roads in a Citroen B16 TGS but maybe we need to go back. Your stay on the boat was a surprise…well at least we have an apartment on a Marina and I have the SL so we can follow your thoughts..just on a different level!! Looking forward to the next section! Stay safe..avoid meeting those gendarmes!! Richard😃😃😃😃

Always traffic between Valence and Avignon, but the road from Avignon to Apt and around Verdon Gorge is very scenic, if you get the chance I'd recommend stopping in Goult for a coffee or lunch. Great road trip and no doubt fantastic to be giving the Project 7 some well needed exercise on some great roads. Lucky sod!

You drove through my back yard and I am guessing past my house as we live in Drome and I recognised a roundabout with some sculptures and sections of road. The roads are a dream to drive on and I never get tired of them, next week we are going to drive down to Arles for a few days sadly not in anything as exotic as a Project 7 just a humble 3.4 S Boxster. Nice video look forward to the next instalment.
