Hey there,
If anyone is interested in joining, im going down to Faro Portugal for 2.5 weeks and back to Luxembourg in 3 weeks total trip...
Yes im taking the Atom... I was so miserable in the 5 series last year - but it poured all day non stop... not sure my box of belgium beer would have made it to Switzerland in one piece...
3 days to go down there with stops in Angouleme (say hello to Monza), Madrid (say hello to friends from Ecuador), then Faro visit friends form Lux, surf, eat, drink, and drive!
2.5 weeks later (time is relative down there), im heading up Lisboa, lovely roads near Cintra, Nazareh (surf spot), Porto, and then a special road, then the coast of galicia... back to France and Angouleme and finally Lux.
Each day is about 800KMs - return might be slower cause of twisty roads... Im still planning the coast return trip...
Any tips, things to see, places to stay or roads to absolutely drive welcome...
Tech stuff:
Looks like 5500KMs, will 5 liters of oil be enough? I have the NA 245...
Any idea if i'll need to change tires half way? Im getting fresh Yoko 052 for the trip...
If you want to come along, i dont think there will be problems.
Driving through southern Spain is going to be very hot... Any good advice?
Thanks in advance
