Had an epic road trip over the last couple of weeks in the Alpina. Having, of course, had the wheels inspected and refurbed at Platinum at Ade's recommendation - a great job, pics to follow!
Only problem was it breaking the traction control which we got fixed in Carcassonne for a few € and should be repaid by the AUC. One of the sensors on the master cylinder gave up...
It was brilliant. Here is the route:

And here is the Alpina going way above and beyond what it was designed for
And here is some great French driving, have some spare underpants at the ready at the end, I needed them...

And who said two seaters were not practical?!
All in all an excellent trip and the Alpina was amazing on its first long trip!

you were able to avoid an accident
when this ... was oncoming in your lane
probably this was him (take a look at his attitude written down on his car)

if you turn on your car, does it return the favour?
