Awesome! Build up your arm muscles for Stelvio lol. Fill up in Livigno as it's tax free usually do a Euro trip like that on a Hayabusa but now I have the Z i'm seriously tempted to do it on 4 wheels!

If you're going back through Italy to the French Alps, I suggest entering through Claviere then heading to Le route de la Bonette, Europes highest paved pass. Great drive, amazing scenery. Then follow La route des grandes alpes all the way down to the med!

Why is Livigno tax free, even though its Italian soil? Are we talking about much cheaper per litre? Not that I'm complaining!

The French Alps route is the exact one I have planned!

Nothing more satisfying that a long drive home in a newly aquired Zed, try wiping the smile off your face / looking back on it when you enter petrol stations to re-fill.

thats only two pics... would call that a mini pic whore time

Exactly, get more added!!

Its over 16 days.

I've budgeted £1500 petrol, won't be far off that.

I approach Stelvio from the north as you guys say, from Davos.

To Venice my plan is to head from Stelvio - Bolzano - Pordoi Pass - Sella Pass - San Di Boldo Pass (check them out, really interesting roads)

Ps, out of interest I had planned on stocking up on a little oil, which would you dudes suggest?

Thought I'd give you all a wee brief on my plans next month in the Zed and any possible suggestions for me along the way.

Cars - CRX Del Sol, Glanza, Silvia S13 & Zed.

Miles - 5000 circa.

Route - Scotland - Eurotunnel - Nurburgring - Luxemburg (cheap tank of petrol we hope) - Black Forest - Swiss Alpine Roads - Stelvio Pass - Venice - Milan - French Alps - Monte Carlo - Barcelona - Madrid - Bilbao - Nantes - Paris - Home.

Any opinion's or tips for those who have done similar would be greatly appreciated, I done a Euro Trip last year on a smaller scale in a hire car but to do it in the Zed..

I of course plan on uploading pictures if you guys are interested when I return.

Looks fantastic mate, what side skirts and front you put on it?

wallace monument! down the road from my folks and where I used to live

 

Where abouts are you from?

 

PS: looks great

I'm from Stirling myself mate, laavley place at times.

Loving your LED work, may be interested in the future!

Just purchased, here it is after a wash today!

I, too will be the proud owner of a gun metal grey come Tuesday, hope you enjoy mate.

Can anyone help me out as to what colour code my Zed is (in my original post), i'm stuck between a few. Its a 05 btw.

In in the progress of doing simply mods but this is pretty inspirational, keep up the good work, coming along nicely.

How ever small or insignificant it may be?

I'm picking mine up on Tuesday and have a thousand thoughts running through my head!
