zriha · Post by **zriha** » Sat Apr 09, 2022 11:55 am

So, gents, I invested almost 1000 GBP in preventive maintenance of my Zed and now I am excited that we are going for an epic road trip to French Riviera. Zed got new cooling lines, belts, tyres, and oil, I don't know what else it needs. I will pack a few litres of oil for a refill.

Starting point: Zagreb, Croatia
Ending point: Avignon, France

Route:

So, roughly the plan is:
Zagreb to Genova - 780 km - about an 8-hour drive - there we will be for a couple of days
Genova - San Tropez - 300 km - 4-hour drive with stop - Monaco (I need to drive my Zed on the famous track and in the famous tunnel

). We will stay in San Tropez for a couple of days.
San Tropez - Avignon - 200 km - 3 hour drive

Returning home:
Avignon to Milan - 580 km - 6-7 hour drive with a stop in Cannes and maybe Nice - plan to come to Milan at night.
Milan - Zagreb - 635 km - 6-7 hour drive

I will put here photos, and reports on everything.

We booked almost all accommodations.

If you were in those cities and have some recommendations on what to see or eat, please let me know!

Excuse my ignorance but what are rats tails for cars, something to do with tyres? Or a joke I'm missing?

Thanks, mate, I have a compressor and a tyre repair kit in my booth. I just bought new tyres - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, so I hope it will all be ok.
