TBH... I normally share the driving on treks like that, but it felt good under my foot and I just wanted to savour the experience...

Always does when it is welded to the floor on the autobahn

How very true... I glanced at the speedo, looked across at Laura and she was reading a book, so I welded it that little bit more!!

fair enough, I don't watch the speedo on the autobahn either............. My GPS is more accurate!

I am going to stop reading these posts It just makes me wish it was May in which case i would be heading for the Italian Alps

With my epic fear of flying and my epic love of driving, it was no choice which mode of transport we took again!!!

On the way out, it took just 55 mins to get to the Eurotunnel and from the other end, we were on their doortep within 4.5 hours!!

The autobahns as you enter Germany from Belgium are amazing!!! We were able to "stretch her legs" for a good 30 miles

Fuel consumption? 300 to a full tank - ish... Total journey was about 740 miles. The roads were superb and I enjoyed every minute of driving!

Looking forward to our next Euro-trip next month when we head back there again!

Oh and I just checked the clock.. picked up the car mid August 2009 and have just clocked over 10,000 miles on her since we collected her!

14 weeks of ownership which works out at 714 per week on average or 102 per day lol!!! But we have LOVED every minute of it!



as you entered Germany did you use the A60 ???? out of Belgium on the sort of comming from Spa

QUOTE(LawwaST @ 8 Dec 2009, 12:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>We did indeed!!!

used the A60 when goin to the 'ring, but have to turn off just when the Autobahn propper (derestricted bit) starts!!!

go on then......

QUOTE(ViperST @ 8 Dec 2009, 01:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Just a different route there. I'm not sure on road names, I just follow the pack.

ah... I used A1 on the way back from the 'ring earlier in the year - it amazing how far you can get in the first 6 mins or so when it's empty....

EDIT:

found this - might be of some use.... open both one's a map the other's the key
