Been far in your Elise !!

[goodwoodweirdo]

Just wondering if anyone's traveled with their Elise ... Indeed I mean further than Le Mans, even Italy .. how about Turkey or Morocco or even further !!

well it's friday afternoon ....

[Stu_00]

London - Milano - Como - Swiss alps - Zurich - London

All in 3 days.

Probably should of taken 14 days not 3 !

How about 4000 miles in 9 days and i drove them all. (s2 Exige)
Route was Edinburgh to Chunnel through the alps to monacco. Then on to Maranello and Prague via Venice and then back via the ring. Epic trip. Did it with www.rallytrek.com.

Highly recommended!

Good effort. If I was not stuck in the office I may start that Journey now, worth just for the roads around Marenello, been there a couple of times but only ever in hire cars !

Umm maybe I will leave tonight lol

Greece would be great to do.... decent roads, plenty of mountains, great food, decent weather ... and it’s only a ferry ride from Venice....

Morocco, too many light fingered kids and st loads of pot holes…. Great mountain roads without any traffic - well apart from donkeys !!!

[edp190]

Yeah i did thankfully!

Everyone else didnt though and they had a driving passenger and i was the freshest out of everyone afterwards.

If the trip had included stelvio it would have been perfect!!

[Stu_00]

Missed the Stelvio on our trip as it as raining (Sorry I wimped out).

So I will have to do a longer trip this year, its a hard life when you have to do these things....

(Stuck in the Office and cannot get out, hellllp)

I did the Stelvio last year in an electrical thunderstorm as the light was fading. Awesome!!!!!

That was in a GTM Libra not an Elise........

You've given me a thought.

I have a villa booked for Corfu during September. According to Google, its 939 miles from my house to Venice by road, then ferry to Greece from there.

Be an interesting road trip for me, plus I absolutely DETEST airports and flying cattle class with all the unwashed dross.

Some fine driving roads in Corfu. The coastal mountain road on the NE of the island is particularly good. Largely well-surfaced with lots of switchback hairpins, some of them open with great sight lines.

The Troumbetas Pass is another great road.

I drove to Marbella from Glasgow last summer and back in my HondaElise. I did 5.5k miles in it during my first month of ownership...

[elise2000]

Drove to Croatia in it last year. Unfortunately it then had to be towed back...

We're planning to try again this Summer!

[Tin Hat]

Took ours to Ibiza then through the Pyrenees a couple of years ago 3.5 K in all

[Philygumbo]

I did the Stelvio trip in 2004 ( everone should do it once) and went around Scotland in it 2007.

That sounds like fun! I'm keen to do Ukraine in mine this year, did Lituania in a normal car 2 years ago and roads were not too bad so I am hoping the Elise should be fine.
