Yeah looks rubbish

Quite a few in surrey now

Bet it's nice to be out and about in the zed again, and for it to be out from under the wraps

you just cant help yourself can you lol.

So what an adventure. 8 days, 9 countries, 2341.6 miles, driving for 59 hours and 32 minutes and it was absolutely awesome. Car was bullet proof and averaged 27.6mpg. As many people are interested in doing a euro road trip i thought i would provide a description of our route, where we stayed and some tips. But first off i want to say a few thankyous. First off a huge thankyou to Steve for the idea for the route, he went a week before us and we used his route as a basis for ours. It was amazing so thanks a million steve. Also a big thanks to Karl and Amy for the euro packs, thankfully we didn't need them but they were invaluable just in case - hope you enjoyed the meal. And finally a big thank you to Ken and Phil for coming along for the journey and making it so much fun. So where to begin: Day 1: Guildford to Baden Baden Our plan was to catch the ferry as early as possible and get to baden baden as quickly and as painlessly as possible. I wont put a route up for this, just follow your sat nav. On that point I have to say the connect premium was brilliant. It got us everywhere, avoided the toll roads, was easy to use, and found local fuel stops without issue. We booked a motel in advance which was ok but really nothing to shout about, it was just a stop over ready for an early start the next day. http://www.booking.com/hotel/de/am-rasthof-4-76532-baden-badem.en-gb.html?aid=303948;label=postbooking_confemail;sid=4501046da15ee8520003838573ba93e7;dcid=4;ucfs=1;srfid=a904ef1a37aa6758e886ef6969ab63b4754f4dd9X1;highlight_room= Have to say the autobahn was fun. Its weird going over 100mph and its legal. A lovely Aston martin went flying past me so i smiled and decided to give chase. I could hear him from miles away and put my foot down. Gave up at 145mph though as i dont have balls of steel but the zed was flying and could easily have pushed on further. Had some fun back and fore with Ken and Phil on these roads. Today was the day of speed. Tips: - Book the eurotunnel rather than the ferry to avoid all the close parking - it was scary lol - Book in advance to get cheaper prices - Don't worry about the GB sticker on the back of the car - just have the GB euro plates. Also dont worry about the light reflectors so long as you dont drive at night. We got stopped at borders and no one raised an eye brow Day 2: Route 500 down to Glarus The primary reason for stopping at Baden Baden was to follow route 500 down into Switzerland. https://goo.gl/maps/c1LIS . What a great road to start the tour. Route 500 takes you up high overlooking some lovely landscapes. Lots of sweeping bends and lovely views. http://www.ultimated...route_ID=20007. The best part of the route is the initial journey south from Baden Baden - don't miss this road. Unfortunately the weather was a little drizzly but still very enjoyable. The road took us 6 hours south to Glarus / Nafles which was an ideal stopping point ready to take on the Klausen pass the next morning. We found an amazing hotel near nafles prior to leaving and booked it because of the view. http://www.booking.c...highlight_room= I would definitely recommend this place purely for the location and the friendly hosts. It was relatively cheap to stay but food and drinks were expensive. The road up to the hotel was interesting. The main road was closed and we looked lost but a biker who had followed us to Nafles stopped to help. When we asked him where our hotel was he looked up to the mountain towering over the village and said on top of that mountain. See those tiny bridges up there, you head that way. What a journey that was. Tight twisties right against the rock face and over tiny bridges with huge drops. But it was well worth it. This was the view from my room And a little video of the hotel and lake http://vid1016.photo...zps02cd9b60.mp4 After a slap up meal and a walk in the mountains it was time for an early night ready for the passes the following morning. Tip: - Don't worry about high octane fuel for your zeds. Most of the petrol stations we saw had 95, 98 and 100 octane and they had garages like we have pubs in this country. They were everywhere. Day 3: The passes To be continued

There will be plenty of other opportunities Adrian Looking forward to seeing what you have done to the car too

Turned it off on an activity day at one of the local airfields - car was very playful and controllable, was a fun day but not for the tyres

Thats one way to put it lol

Welcome to the forum, looking forward to seeing the pics and definitely get along to one of the local meets

I wonder how many roadsters are out there

Same steve, we hit a closed road south of nafles and had to take a detour but it went through a national park and some lovely views, we also found a great pass with a cobbled road.

Nice pics there Phil. I'll start uploading mine tomorrow. I have about 8 hours of video to go through too lol For anyone interested in doing a roadtrip that way I'll put up a little post for tips and tricks and roads to visit.

"For me, it's a combination of; Halo, Mass Effect SP, Borderlands Co-Op campaign and Skyrims weapon and armour system all wound into one mega budget computer game." Now I am intrigued as i loved all of those

Original halo was awesome, looking forward to trying this out
