Just got back from probably the best two weeks of my life.
Covered 12 countries in 7 days and drove some really exciting and scenic roads during the Gumball part of the trip.
Once we finished the gumball we stayed in a small town just along from Rijeka, on the North East coast of Croatia.
Stayed there for two days at the beach getting some well earnt rest and then we headed off via Slovenia to Modena in Italy.
We stayed in Modena for a night and spent the next day at the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums. (Even managed to blag a full tour of the Lamborghini factory) .
From there we drove cross country through some impressive scenery in Austria, where we managed to pick up a speeding ticket.....and then on to Germany to meet some of the other Gumballers at the famous Nurburgring!!
After an evening of beers by the fire and a day watching Mercs flying round the ring followed by a couple of laps of the almighty circuit as passengers in a friends car we drove the last stint to Calais nonstop yesterday evening , finally getting home at about 3 this morning.
Very pleasantly suprised at how well the Volvo (Batmobile) coped with the trip and enjoyed keeping up with some of the other faster cars in the rally not bad for £70!!. Only problems we suffered was a leaking fuel tank.... only leaks when full , and the exhaust snapping in two.
Here are a few pics, have taken hundreds but here is a selection:-
