I'd like to say Thank You to hdg76 and all the other M2, M3/M4 owners who have posted their ED trips on here. Your experience and sharing of knowledge, made my first M car and first ED, the best trip ever! And my wife and I travel a lot.
If any of you are debating whether to do an ED or not, research this forum for suggested itineraries, locations, hotels, driving routes, etc and DO IT! It took, 3 planes each way, 12 time zones traveled, 24 total hours to and 27 long hours back from Europe for us to do it. And we'd do it all over again.
I posted my trip in the ED section, 12 Time Zones to a European Delivery. A shorter trip then hdg76's trip, but one that may be of assistance to those who have less time. Once again, a big Mahalo & Aloha to all of you that have shared your prior experiences!
