    Default Euro Tour - 2023

    It's been a while since I posted anything on the forum, as I never did anything to my car over the winter, as nothing really needs doing that bugs me enough to, warrant getting the spanners dirty So I've just been enjoying driving it, since putting it back on the road, once the last of the winter salt has been washed away & this year there's been plenty of rain to wash the roads clean of salt

    So come May & it was time for this years Euro trip with a couple of friends. This time we got the 24 hour ferry from Plymouth to Santander & spent a few days driving around the northern Spanish mountains, stopping off at Bilbao for a night. Having driven a lot of the driving roads through the Swiss Alps & Germanys Black Forest, the Spanish roads were amazingly free of traffic, which made the drive even better, not getting stuck behind numerous camper vans & packs of motorbikes.

    After a couple of days, we crossed the border into France and drove along the west side, up to La Rochelle for a stop over then up to Hon Fleur near Le Havre & then onto Calais to catch the train back to the UK. All in, a drive of just under 2K miles & my car passing not only 195,000 miles but 196,000, with no issues at all, other than the attention it attracts, even with two AMG GT's

    Here are some photos of the trip.

    Thank you for sharing and enjoyed the nice photo.
    Especially the photo of museum and the last one with your NSX parked nicely.

    I used to visit AMG every year so always loved their models.
    Wish Honda operated in similar way as AMG for some of the models and not like Mugen operation.

    Nice hearing the NSX being driven long distance.
    Mine is just about 172K miles and counting.
    There are few with more than 300K miles so still long way to go.
    Let's keep enjoying the driving.
