sorry for the lack of updates but the second leg to Innsbruck took 10 hours, roadworks on the A8 between Stuttgart and Ulm.
Then after Arriving at the Hotel in Tuscany i decided that id go for a swim in the pool. This would have been fine if id remembered to remove my phone from my pocket
Anyway the hotel was great, With amazing views of the surrounding Apennine mountains.
During our stay we visited Pagani, both Ferrari and Lamborghini museums also Florence, pisa and Modena.
Covering a total of 2661 miles during the trip the car was fantastic. Averaging 28MPG, Fuel consumption was better than i expected.
Coming back on the Innsbruck>Metz leg I got 290 miles out of the tank before refueling (two bars above minimum) and that was including the autobahn where for ages we were at 100+ MPH for miles Chasing S63 AMG's, Panamera's ETC
What can i say about Italy? Its an amazing place and one that ill definitely be revisiting. Fabulous Architecture, Amazing Scenery and the best food I've ever had, Be warned if you go you'll definitely gain a few pounds
one highlight was coming out of the Maranello Museum, Walking back to the car and spending 20 mins talking to an Italian guy in a Ferrari top carrying a walky talky about my MR2. he'd been admiring it as we walked back to the car. i was very humbled that this guy, Although surrounded by millions of pounds of prancing horses (they were selling test drives all around the outside of the museum) was impressed and interested by my car, In fact the 2 got a lot of admiring glances everywhere we drove. That said i didn't see another MR2 of any mark our whole time in Italy.
I have loads of pictures and ill post them up after sorting and uploading them but for now all ill say is do a long distance road trip in your 2, You'll love it
