Any roadtrips planned?
Hey All!
I don't know about you guys but I do love a good road trip. Last year a couple of friends and I drove from London to Lake Como, Italy via Luxembourg, Germany & Switzerland. 5 of us and 4 cars; my old BMW 420d, a Porsche Macan S, BMW M6 & Toyota GT86. It was a great experience (2 min video below if you want to see the trip). So with the new car I do plan to do more euro road trips, I'm thinking to check out the Geneva motor show next year and another euro trip with the same bunch of guys I went last year but this time 3/4 cars are new What about you guys, anything planned? |

I've never been to Goodwood, but it's on my list for 2019. I really fancy doing a European road trip as well. After watching Joe Achilles' Petrolhead Tours videos it's given me the itch, big time!

Your trip sounds like a blast! Haven't gotten my M2C yet, but when I do, Ill be doing Euro Delivery and will be touring Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Austria with it.
Once I get back to North America, I plan to do a cross USA road trip, as well as a Cross Canada road trip! Really can't wait to start putting KMs on it and take photos in unique locations.

Made a rough plan for my road trip this summer (9-10 days)...
UK > Monaco > Lake Como > Lago di braies > Munich (BMW Museum) > Stuttgart (Mercedes & Porsche Museum) > Nurbugering > Brussels > Bruge > UK Questions: 1) Anyone know any good passes around Italy/Switzerland? 2) Good Autobahn routes in Germany 3) Anyone driven on the Nurburgring? Did you do the public or track days? How much did you pay and what were the protocols?

Done! Made a trip to my hometown of Savannah GA a few weeks ago. 1160 miles round trip. Gave details in a previous post. Took the trip the week after my break-in service. I'm sure you can imagine why I held off on making the trip until after that service. So much fun!
