Dnk Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just got back from my trip to Spain in the 330 E46 and it didn't miss a beat, 2600 miles and averaged 34 mpg. Came home a different route than on the way down and crossed the Pyrenees from Jaca in Spain to Pau in France, amazing scenery and for all you tunnel lovers the Somport is 8.5 km long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It's only a few weeks ago I was near there in my Supra such a beautiful place. That's decent economy too, I assume you had the roof down most of the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Some of the views we saw during our Spain trip were fantastic. I hope we can get down there again in a sports car, rather than a 4 x 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 The biggest problem I found was parking the car, Lloret de Mar front was all pay to park spaces and a max of 2 hrs stay, the small bay at Canyelles which was the closest beach to our villa was even worse with only a 30 minute stay between 08:00 and 16:00 but free !! Tossa de mar was better and had unlimited parking in one car park but very hit or miss if there was a space in it Some great beaches along that coast and nice places off the beaten track but you had to search for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Sounds great! Road trips throughout Europe are fantastic. A few months ago I drove over to Spain, Soto Grande and last week I went to Benevello in Italy. Its all about the views and the company with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Looks lovely dunk glad the weather was on your side. Cheers Mike the weather down in Spain was great bar for the last night when we got a thunderstorm. Bad fog on the drive home from Poitiers to Le Mans was hard work and I pulled off the autoroute and parked up for a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad fog on the drive home from Poitiers to Le Mans was hard work and I pulled off the autoroute and parked up for a few hours Good decision, had some bad fog here and people continue to hurtle down the motorway like normal.

I was virtually driving by the sat/nav, I was doing around 40 mph and that was hard work but others were going past me and had disappeared in under 3 seconds which is simply nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
