Car, guitar, drone, Europe, you know the drill!
Discussion
Hello people, another trip!
(Mods, been doing these for years now and you've always been good enough to leave them in GG, would appreciate that thanks.)
McLaren 570 Spider this time, this is the third different McLaren in 3 years, brand ambassador! I expect I'll be flown out to meet the F1 team for the final race or something, if I can fit it in.
The car:
It's just come from a detailing at Gleammachine who always do a brilliant job so it's looking spanky (cheers Rob!)
A couple of layers of miicro-fibre cloths in first for the all important washing duties:
Bags and jacket in, loads of room left:
And there's more room inside than previous cars even though it gives the appearance of being smaller, guitar goes in easy:
Bit different this year as I'm doing 2 weeks in the Alps alone but then my partner is flying out to join me in Germany for a week, so got to get all the "interesting driving" done in the first fortnight
Just arrived in Folkestone, staying tonight then early crossing tomorrow, first Euro night is in a French castle near the German border, don't know anything about it.
Apologies to whoever it was on the M20 if you're reading this, I didn't join in cos I was a bit distracted, I didn't even realise you were in a McLaren until you floored it away from me! All within the legal limits of course. Lovely car by the way.
I spent most of the journey down faffing with apps, I'm trying to get Waze, Camsam Plus and Spotify all to play nicely together. Got quite a bit of Swiss driving penciled in so I'll need all the technical help I can get to keep the car from being crushed!
I'll follow up with some other bits this afternoon.
Usual caveats, if anyone is interested I'll update if they're not ill let it die the death!
Really looking forward to this one.

Superb! Looking forward to reading it
Is the drone with you?
Indeed Justin! Is the drone with you?
And 6 batteries! Should cover most situations.
Now I won't pretend I'm an expert but I've flown it a lot since the last trip where I basically bought it the day before I left and didn't have any idea at all.
Hoping to get some car following footage at the least. Fingers crossed.
Hey Mods! Could we do something here? I did make a polite request straight after saying hello. The last 4 or 5 trips all played out in GG and indeed are still there years later, many people who enjoy these threads will miss it if it stays here.
Thank you.
