International Driving Holidays

nitrous · 23rd November 2009, 12:14

As a bunch of petrolheads, I'm sure a lot of us would be interested in taking driving holidays abroad.
I would like people who've done a driving holiday or are planning to post about your experiences. Do post links and pictures.

I've done some extensive driving through Europe. Touched eight countries by car. I think I have written briefly about the things to be taken care before you embark on a driving mission in Europe in some other thread. (Some thread related to driving in Germany)

@nitrous, is this what you meant or you wanted to know the destinations that we can drive to from here ?
There is always Nepal, Pakistan for a drive from here.

Thanks for the link Mahendra. That trip will be the first thing to be done as soon as I hit my jackpot.
