I had another great run from London to Amsterdam this week. Monday early start from Richmond to the Eurotunnel and in Amsterdam for lunch. Very lucky with the weather, dry the whole way.
Then back home yesterday, left Amsterdam at 1pm and again a great run through, clear skies and 14°, so roof down for much of the way. Took the toll road to avoid the horrendous Antwerp ring road, it’s also a much more scenic route. On the Eurotunnel at 7pm.
The Six was absolutely flawless both ways. And it achieved a remarkable 43MPG Not sure how that’s possible while having so much fun, but I’ll take it. Now I’ve got everything set up, it’s so capable for a long road trip. Suction iPhone mount on the dash with a USB charger. AirPods for a bit of relief from the noise & I can now fit in a surprising amount of luggage behind the seats with the right bags. And that’s without using the rack.
Happy motoring. Ollie.
