I did nearly 800 miles last autumn on trip to Disneyland, absolutely no issues either with the car or the French roads (Paris suburbs excepted!!). Mine had nearly 199k on the clock at the time and without pushing it hard it still did the 300 miles from Roscoff to Paris in 4 hours.
Coming home, due to an accident on the A12, we had about an hour to do the last 145km to Le Havre and made it just These cars are built for doing long distance trips in comfort. Just make sure you have the required travel kit, a reasonable selection of tools, service it prior to traveling and you should be fine. |

It's what it was designed to do so ... let it do it !
As long as it's well serviced and has no underlying or apparent issues .... stretch it's legs, a good long run can sometimes be exactly what it needs. |

I thought twice about taking my previous 75 from Norfolk to the Scottish borders for a touring holiday. It never missed a beat and kept us in absolute comfort for the week. 75s and ZTs are not just garage queens!

Some great responses, I had no idea our 75’s were still getting used so extensively including abroad.

If I understand correctly, for all of you who will join the Dutch meeting here, the roads concerning: you will enter heaven compared to the rest of Europe. We pay the highest road tax but the roads are the best. Did not know in the UK they aren't that good.
To the subject: I agree, our cars should be garage and road kings and queens Treat them like where they are designed for: long comfortabel luxurious trips! N-joy. Emiel |
