Video - driving my M around Europe last year

Couldn't agree more with the above sentiments.

I've put roughly 20k on mine since I bought it 4 years ago and quite a lot of those have been either road tripping through Europe or heading off to the Alps. As much as my car would be worth a little bit more now had I not done those trips, the added/saved value wouldn't make any significant difference to my life and I'd have missed out on some amazing memories.

Personally, I think you'd be mad to deny yourself a great roadtrip for the sake of adding 3k miles and losing very little on the value. Besides, if the prices keep slowly rising then it's a free trip!
 
Great video, really enjoyed the different to the norm format :thumbsup:

N260 - my favourite road anywhere!
 
Yes, you’re all right, of course. The truth is, I hardly ever drive the car. I don’t drive to work, and at weekends I usually use the TVR, unless the weather is bad, in which case we use the M135i.

I have been thinking of changing the Z4M and Griffith and putting the money into a 991 911, or a BMW M4, or Audi R8 and doing some long touring next year, but in reality, I think the little Z4M would be a great car to do it in.
 
Great video, i should have done one myself instead of snippets (below).
The Route Napoleon is now my favorite piece of road bar none.
And yes, memories always beats 'low milage'!

Thanks! If you have the time, making a video is good fun. And it is great to go back and watch it for the memories.

Loved the blast of acceleration at 12 seconds in you second vid :evil:

Last year I was lucky enough to get a month off work. I decided there was no better way to spend it than doing a 4,000 mile drive around Europe. I drove down to the coast, got the ferry, and spent the next 20 days working my through Europe. Focusing on the Pyrenees, southern France and then a lot of time in the Alps.

This is a short video of my experience.

I recorded a lot of video, so this is just a snippet I quickly pulled together. Having sat on it for a year.

Some may not like the music in there. Which is fair enough. But it was the video I wanted to make. I have however kept some of the great engine and exhaust noise in there as well (I took a mic with me). If anyone wants to hear more of the exhaust (H&S) or engine (with Eventuri intake), or if anyone just wants to see some of the uncut footage, I am happy to share!

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the video.
