Driving to Greece

[james_chim]

Hi

I'm thinking of driving the chim to Greece in summer with my mate in his S2.

Can anyone who has done a long trip (1600 miles) across Europe please give me as many tips as possible about what i should take, and what arrangements i need to make to ensure i don't have any problems?

Much appreciated.

James

Drive down through Italy and get the ferry. Then you will be covered by European breakdown cover. And you wont get stuffed by the Croatian/Serb/Bosnian police.

Put "Chim to Greece" in the search engine (forums/Chimaera) and you'll turn up a thread from Sept last year when someone drove to Greece in theirs.#

I always take a spare alternator belt & a bunch of relays/fuses, tape, cable ties, jubilee clips etc. These can be fitted in the cubby holes. I always invest in AA 5 star too.

Here's a guide to TVR Chimaera Touring.

The list is exhaustive but it'll give you an idea of what to take.

Enjoy the trip!

One thought - the Greek drivers are nutters - I've driven in Greece, and came round the corner to meet a bus overtaking another bus...

Hi,

I've done 2 Cannonballs in mine which were about 3500 miles each all across europe. Always had a small tool kit but never needed it. Just make sure you have all your doc's and have fun.(Not sure if you need a green card for Greece) AA cover is a must just in case its a long way home.
