Europe Road Trip - June 2010

[Darlonick]

Hi all,

I've just joined up to share a video of my European road trip in June last year. The "roads" section of the forum was a big help in me and my mate deciding our route, so thought you might be interested to see what we got up to!

We did it in my Fiat Coupe 20v VIS (Currently in the "For Sale" section ) and covered 2600 miles in 9 days.

The route was;

North East England
Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium (for Spa Italia 2010)
Nurburg, Germany (For the Nurburgring)
Davos, Switzerland
San Bernardino Pass, Switzerland
Monaco
then a long slog through France back home!!

The video is here............... http://www.vimeo.com/20889218
(there's a bit of swearing halfway through the video, taken during my first ever lap of the Nurburgring! So apologies for that! I think I was just a little bit excited! )

Sounds great but the links not working.

Oops, thanks for the heads-up! It should be sorted now.............

I enjoyed the video, thanks for putting it up. If I were you, I'd have a word with the editor about gettting that bit taken out where you were 'done' by a bloody Fiesta, where's your pride.

Haha maybe I should have mentioned that I spoke to the guy driving the Fiesta in the carpark after the lap...... turns out he had recently fitted a 2 litre lump into the car, but hadn't got round to changing the 1.1 sticker on the back yet!!

It sounds plausible, but I suppose any excuse will do after such a public drubbing

Haha apparently it has a 2 litre Mondeo engine in it - i signed up to the forum today that the group of guys were from and they've just confirmed it for me!

So ner!

Alright you've beaten me into submission - as you were
