    Great series - got the LCI LBb m2 and have mid June booked to do a trip with my best mate. Don’t suppose you have the route/itinerary list saved (hotels etc..) keep it up👍

    Hi great video and thank you for taking the time doing it i know is not an easy task and the editing is great . I have few questions if you can help me .
    1) how may hours and distance approximate you were driving each day .
    2) the Monaco Italy seem to be your most difficult day but I understand main reason was the track day and stelvio pass and return to dropped your mate . How long you did have to drive from Monaco this day .
    3) how easy is to find petrol stations
    4) if you were going to do it again would you miss any part of the trip you may thought could be made differently ?
    5) what month of the year you did this trip
    Will really apreciated if you reply this ?
    I am Planning to do a 12 days trip and your video will help us a lot to plan our route .

      Thank you. 1. Between 6-12h. 2. Actually it wasn’t. We spent a few hours on motorway and we did only Gavia pass that day. The longest one was from Aosta towards Monaco. 3. Apart from the day in point 2 no issue at all. 4. I would love to add Grossglockner. 5. End of June. Happy to answer more questions. I hope you’ll enjoy have a great trip. Regards 👋

    Great video and really helpful as we are booked to do a similar route in August. Can I ask what do you use for route planning ? This is our first trip with 3 cars driving the passes and not sure yet how to share a common route map with route waypoints for all 3 drivers to access! Any steer on this would be really appreciated.

    • @MDrives
      @MDrives  Рік тому +1

      Thank you. Google maps is your friend. Unfortunately you’re not allowed to use navs like Waze (agains law to use apps warning you about speed cameras and police). Plan it on Google at you PC. You can add up to 10 stops so you can do one route for each day with some stops. You then press send to my email and you can share that with your mates. On the morning you all click on the link and the route will load on your mobiles. Also you can do a street view when planning to ensure the road is suitable for your cars. Have fun!

    Great series of videos Marek. Taking some of your route in July in our M3.
    Can you give me some indication of the cost for this trip please? Just trying to budget for it and really haven't a clue regarding expenditure.
    Many thanks.

    • @MDrives
      @MDrives  Рік тому

      Thank you Paul. Difficult to say as I’m sure that some of the prices gone up (hotels, food) and some gone down (petrol). Roughly £1600 but I split the cost of hotels with my mate. This included my sea crossing which was £370. In general hotels were between €60-110 per night. Add food and drinks each day. You need vignette in Switzerland €40.

    Do you fill up the car with ultimae 102 when you were in the germany ? And do you fill the difference between uk and eu fuel?

    • @MDrives
      @MDrives  Рік тому +1

      Hi. In general I’m using 99 from Esso or Shell. More due to the cleaning additives to help keep the engine clean rather than additional power. I filled up with 102 only when I got to Nurburgring. Sure there is a little difference especially between 95 and 102 but it’s not huge. But it’s healthier for the engine to have higher octane fuel when you push it to its limits.
