Trent Edge Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Wife and I took the car on a short road trip for a week around Europe with the grand plan being down to Croatia and back via France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Luxembourg. Anyway, just thought I'd share some pics of the car and you might be interested 馃檪 Also for those interested, theres a map at the bottom of the rough route. Overall was a good trip and no problems (fortunately) and for a car that's almost 2 tons it doesn't do too bad. Had it cruising at 130mph for a while on the autobahn a few times but couldn't quite match the Mercs/Audis etc 馃榿 The sign recognition is much more suited for Europe and worked great. Different things in different countries as well as showing speed signs in black for some reason in Croatia, not sure what that was about if anybody knows? Anyhow, total of... 3089 miles 60 hours driving (Trip Computer) Avg. 39.4mpg Rest stop in Hungary Rest stop in Croatia Random village in Hungary Viewpoint in Croatia Viewpoint in Croatia Ferry from Pag to Prizna (Croatia) AC and AC seats quite nice in the heat! Read a lot of bad reviews on the Sync2 but I quite like it and having used a Sync3 in a Lincoln Navigator on a road trip in the US, prefer the style of S2 Apartment in Croatia Bonus pic... Spot the Edge Trip computer reset as we left home Rough route we took except M25 via Dartford both times 聽 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving in mainland Europe seems to be quite a bit nicer than the UK, especially traffic wise in my experience. Good eye but not looking hard enough! 馃榿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quofan Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Is it half hidden behind a palm tree on the right of the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks like there is another hidden Edge right in the middle of the picture, to the right of the white van mostly hidden by the tree. Or something of the same colour at least, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour does hide it quite well but all front surfaces are fully covered in bugs and front wheels are covered in brake dust. After around 1500 miles in Split, Croatia, I stopped in a self service jet wash and gave it a quick once over to get the bugs off so that helped a bit. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
