not sure on age restrictions but would be a good idea to contact your insurance company to confirm your coverage for driving abroad and they should be able to confirm any details like that for you. If you are using a hire car then i believe there are age restrictions, but again check with the hire company

Spanners, big bit of wood sockets... Yea, fuck that. If it breaks call the AA out. It's not like they go that often unless they are about 20 years old...
