Smartbears road trip pics

Post by Smartbear » Sun May 07, 2017 7:53 pm

Hi, thought I'd add a few of my own pics to compliment Pastrys post :thumbsup:
I really enjoyed our adventure & would recommend similar to anyone thinking of going, really pleased with my e89 for comfort, economy & the way it performed during the trip-all our cars were trouble free.
In no particular order...

Definitely, I never reset the trip & just checked the tally-I probably covered even more than you due to all the wheel spinning I was doing :P
