European Road Trip

Post by phraze » Sat Jun 21, 2008 11:56 am

Me and Mrs Phraze just back from a great road trip around Europe - not many car photaes but here are a few.
Tried to get on 'the Ring' but there was a bloody rock festival on so didn't manage... other pics from a road i'm sure you all know well!

Our itinerary took through Brussels, Munich, Lake Garda, Florence, Nice and Paris. En route we also made it to the ferrari factory in modena which was very disappointing for the amount of money it cost and had a wee late night blast around monaco too which was great.
The car was brilliant and received lots of very positive attention and comments - we even met a German S1 owner in Munich who was talking about their annual trip to Stelvio and how there are quite a few passionate owners in that part of the world. Only slight problem with the car was that the rear offside indicator lamp housing seemed to melt and a the bulb dropped out into the light housing. I had a very awkward hour unscrewing it with a Gerber to fish the bulb out then gaffer tape it back into place. Will have to get it checked out by MMC next week.

We stayed in some brilliant hotels if anyone wants any recommendations give me a shout otherwise hope you enjoy the couple of pics.

Looks good - I would have been on a similar trip just now but for various factors (including car trouble) :roll:
