nice journey mate.

I've just calculated that we did a 2192mile (3528km) journey (Stevec1603 lives in scotland so he did 600miles (900ish km) more than we did.)

Don't want that kind of journey too often, will need an oil change every few weeks lol!

Blue line was going to Parma, red line was roughly coming home.

to cHinaman727: laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif yea you are right. However that crocodile farm and monkey sanctuary are hundreds miles from each other (monkeys are in Salem and crocodiles near Nimes). My fault not explaining it clear smile.gif

to vsideboy: agree this is not a trip I wish to drive every day smile.gif however damn nice trip as well smile.gif

to Borghe: Italy is amazing... Driving there I enjoyed much more than France, Germany or Austria... I want to visit Italy for 100% again!

to m0dd3d1: Go for it! It's amazing there...

to xs94st: is that sarcasm or not? wink.gif smile.gif

to Jlacker3: Thank you!

Again thanks for comments folks smile.gif

to dtlwrc: I can tell travel through Europe is amazing experience. Every country had different roads and different drivers on it smile.gif.

to manolis: thanks smile.gif

to CelicaDriver: Honestly... I'm bit sorry about not using track with my car my self now... Although I have enjoyed track on drivers side I was only passenger wink.gif biggrin.gif. You can see my face how different feeling it is biggrin.gif. Next time I must be the one who hold steering wheel on track...
