Days spent taking fun road trips with sometimes inappropriate cars.
About Detour Right
How does the cliche go? Life is too short to drive boring cars. Regardless, it’s definitely true. That’s why I tend to do my road trips in fun cars rather than an RV. Sure, having to book hotels can be a pain at times. Making sure the angle of entry is workable in some downtown car parks or ferries for river corssing, making sure it’s a secure place in the out of the way places and generally hoping the car will be there in the morning and as I left it the night before.
Wouldn’t change it though. Knowing the general direction I need to head and looking at Google Maps for some curving roads is my strategy. Other times I randomly find a great stretch of road and resisting the temptation to turn around and give it another run. None of that would work if I was driving an RV.
As you can see there is a soft spot for German cars. Porsche, BMW and VW mainly. Of course life wouldn’t be complete without an Alfa Romeo either. The one below is a borrowed car. I didn’t do a lot of road trips in my 1985 Sprint. Surprisingly the electrics weren’t great in that car and even worse if it rained.
