European road trip ...

[Flipc]

At the end of July me and the girlfriend took the LY200 across Europe, from door to door we covered over 3,100 miles.

Our 1st stop was the French Car Show, following day we headed for Dover. Brugge was our next stop, then we headed to Nurburg unfortunately the track was closed that week for Porsche track days. After that we headed across Germany and ended up in Bavaria. Our next leg then took us across Austria through the Alps and in to Italy where we went on the Stelvio and Gravia Passes. After fun and games on the passes we went to Lake Garda and then on to San Remo. Back in to France after that and then on to Spain for a few days in the hot sun. The journey back home was another stop in France before getting the ferry.

Found some great roads and although it may sound like it was tiring it wasn't until we got home. Here's a few pictures of the LY while on it's travels ....

Love it.

How many days did you take to do this?

 

[Webby]

Lovely pictures!


I did a very similar amount of miles along many of those routes myself this year. And you definitely had better weather at the top of the Stelvio than I did!



Did you come into France past Monaco? Did you manage the Col De Turini?

Love it.

How many days did you take to do this?

Took us 16 days, door to door. Great trip would recommend it to anyone. Mostly over night stays but we managed 2 or 3 days in one place here and there

I hope you dont mind me asking, but what sort of costs are involved?

The weather was hot. Left the car parked in direct sunlight at Lake Garda, the gear stick was so hot I couldn't touch it. From San Remo we took a coastal road toward Monaco and then we headed towards Narbonne and then Spain.

We were going to camp but ended up staying in hotels so we spent quite a bit more than budgeted. Fuel was about €60 to fill up, hotels about €100 per night. Lots of tolls in France and Spain. Think we spent about £2000 but it was worth it

Booked hotels when we arrived somewhere using the booking.com app, you can get some good deals and yes, had my bullets and door handles sprayed black.
