I've been driving in Italy for the past 10 years, and thats absolute bollox. Don't let it put you off. Go, be careful, and enjoy :) . You'll soon get use3d to their "ways" :D
 
Wow, what a great trip!!! Thanks for taking the time to post these up. Impressive display of clothing for packing in a roadster :thumbsup:
 
Hang on are those italian flags on your wing mirrors :o Oh no no no we cant condone that! Sharing a car park with a couple of Ferraris does not constitute a BMW wearing the italian flag :roll: :poke: Youve got carried away now and gone all euro havent you :D
 
Absolutely. Any excuse for a couple more stickers :D

Day 15 - Nottwil to Lens - 470miles

A fairly mind numbing drive north today. Once we'd navigated Basel and Strasbourg it was pretty much plain sailing on the French Autoroutes

Fortunately the weather was good which made the long drive less tiring

Not many British roads like this on a Saturday afternoon; but you do pay for the pleasure

As is tradition with us we break the journey with a short visit to the old Riems circuit gandstands

From here it's just over an hours drive to our hotel in Lens

When we arrive we spot this strange thing on the carpark

Day 16 - Lens to Home 381 miles
Up at 05:30 and it's still dark as we head north for the 1hr trip to the Chunnel. After the usual grind around the M25 and up the M6 we arrive home around 2pm.

The final mileage total was 3328 miles.

Glad you enjoyed my post and many thanks for you replies.

Hi mate, im new to the forum and am impressed by your photo's :)

I was just wondering though, how much did you spend on Fuel for the whole trip?
I take it you took it easy most of the way also due to have the other half in the car with you? :wink:

Cheers fella
 
Fabulous pics and a great great trip, thanks for sharing. You visited some fab places and wow did you see some cracking cars on the way.
