Alpine A110 2022 in Finland

[Portti]

It was again time to get my Alpine serviced in the beginning of May 2024 and that meant another road trip to Europe. The plan was to take a ferry from Helsinki to Travemünde and then continue to Netherlands with planned stops in Den Bosch and Breda. Then short drive from Breda to Antwerp to Alpine Antwerpen. Once the car would be serviced, then plan was to drive to Northern Netherlands to Groningen. Then from Groningen to Hamburg and from there back to Travemünde. It was altogether 8 day trip and 1,700 km of driving.

Great write up and interesting road trip, but not sure I'd be too keen on the 30 hour ferry crossing. Car still looks great.

Yes, I'm not too keen on the ferry crossing either but that's just the way it is. I'm also quite sure that not many people would be keen on owning a car that requires a lengthy ferry crossing to get the car serviced. The easier option to get the Alpine serviced on an authorized dealer would be to travel Stockholm where the nearest Alpine dealer/service is. That would require only 17 hour ferry crossing from Helsinki to Stockholm.
