El Turko Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I love road trips abroad.... I took my 330 around Europe in 2013, highlights were Stelvio Pass, Stuttgart and Nurburgring. Last year did the ring again in my e36, followed by Munich (BMW Museum) and Black Forest. The Laird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) No chance of 1 this year, although I've now got the car I was waiting to do one in. Maybe early next, 2 weeks year, down to the Amalfi coast. Always loved them, great roads and scenery in mainland europe, just don't stick to the motorways!

dunk1 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I'm driving down to Barcelona in Sept and found this site http://all-aboutfrance.com/tourism/routes-to-spain.htm I'll be stopping at a B&B in Dover the night before www.castle-guesthouse.co.uk then non stop bar fuel and coffee breaks to Spain. My route is Calais, Rouen, Chartres, Orleans, Clermont-Ferrand, over the Milau viaduct to Beziers, Perpignan, crossing in Spain down to Girona and onto Barcelona airport then drive back up the coast for 2 weeks in Lloret de Mar On my return trip I shall stop about an hour outside Calais just below Abbeville right on the Somme in a lovely little hotel www.manoir-les-arums.com I'm planning on using these for covering any possible car dramas, www.eurobreakdown.com Edited August 4, 2015 by dunk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNotJon Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Not as epic as previous posts, but we've booked the euro tunnel to drive into france at the end of this month.. do you reckon we'd get there and back without a hitch? Two mates have chickened out, leaving just two of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
