European Jolly
Well after setting off one week ago in my 190 from Harwich on the ferry with my two lads we are on the way back to Harwich via the Hook of Holland, Lyon, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Pisa, Milan, then Munich via Switzerland and Austria then Dusseldorf and back to the Hook of Holland, the car did not need a drop of oil or water, however it got through about £70 of petrol a day 😢
Not tallied it all up yet but it looks like about £650 with the road tolls and vignettes added In, I wanted to do it and we did! 😁😎 now back home, Door to door we did 2,848 miles in a week. |

We were lucky, the Hotel we stayed at was just outside Milan (a bit like Wembley to central London) so it was dual carriageway outside the hotel and fairly quiet, also they have a tube system and the station was literally opposite the hotel so we left the car at the Hotel and got the tube in, it's 1.5 euros each way, also we were told by the Hotel staff that Milan is quieter in August.

That's cool, I drove through Turin it was without doubt the single most unpleasant driving experience of my life.

The drive through Switzerland was worth the whole trip!

Nice one Roy, glad the car behaved itself, but why wouldn't it, it's a 'Rover'
