360 Road Trip

[blueg33]

Just returned from a 2330 mile road trip over ten days. The 360 was brilliant. Great on mountain roads really showing its balance and handling, all day on the auto route in 30 degrees heat at 90mph, no problem. Luggage for 2 touring plus space for wine and goodies, no problem.

Smiled at, waved at and photographed with amazingly positive attitudes, multiple times every day. Given priority parking outside hotels etc.

All fantastic

The only downside, French speed bumps. Hundreds of the bloody things each one the size of Everest!

Sound like a marvelous trip and great that the 360 was trouble-free.

like a proper trip. French speed bumps are brutal on a 360 scraping noise makes you wince every time. Great to hear it got love though. They’re becoming rare sights now. Keep the story and photos somewhere.

It’s actually surprising how well they do the “GT” thing in their stride. Comfortable, spacious, civilised but still brilliant fun on the right roads. An F1 probably makes it even more relaxing, but no less fun in the twisties. Especially with the CS shift mapping.

10 years since I took mine down to Italy. Still have good memories of it.
This year, the McLaren will be heading down there.

Those waking great speed tables in most French villages are bonkers. My 430 scraped on a wry single one.

Quite effective though, I gave up on a drive through the Alsace villages on the way home from Italy in my F430. If the aim was to keep people (me) out of the villages and not spend money, a roaring success frankly.
