Last, but not least, what if somebody else is paying for the fuel? You still need practicality so a two-seater is out of the question. Options could include such extravagances as the Range Rover Supercharged or Porsche Cayenne Turbo, but they're just a little too ostentatious for this trip. How about the oddball Mitsubishi Lancer Station Wagon, in full Evolution IX specification?

Admittedly, this rocket-propelled shopping wagon was never sold officially in Britain, but there are plenty of importers that would help you get your hands on one if you feel the need. At an event such as Le Mans, among tens of thousands of other motoring fans, you'll get as much interest in your car as any Ferrari or Aston Martin owner. You'll also have as much fun as anyone else getting there, wet or dry weather. In fact, we'd recommend you take the long way around, taking in some of France's less crowded country roads.
