Driving into Europe

[maddox710]

Hi peeps. I know some of you may have drove to the nurburgring. I wanna know how you found this experience in the starlets? Or if have have driven further afield.  I plan on going into North Italy sometime in the summer. I know about the tolls and vignettes while driving through certain countries but is there anything else to take note 

Thanks

Will

I drove to Finland from the Netherlands. It was about 18 hours on the road from Netherlands to the ferry in Stockholm. To make the ride more comfortable I fitter thinner/stock wheels, exhaust silencer, removed front and rear lips and set my suspension softer. It was pretty easy to do but I might look into making some sort of cruise control for future road trips

I didn’t find it too bad, mine was 10 hours of driving to the Nurburgring, I got about 300 miles before it needed filling back up. The ride was okay but I have a bucket seats and stiff suspension, definitely worth doing though, get some very funny looks off people because they don’t know what car it is lol.

We drive to the Netherlands which was a 1200 mile round trip. Mines on BC Coilovers and it was a great drive.

Cheers lads, the thing I think I will struggle with is seat time. I think the most I've ever driven in one go is about 3.5 hours

You'll need to carry spare bulbs, a warning triangle and possibly other bits and pieces for continental driving as a legal requirement.
