Days spent taking fun road trips with sometimes inappropriate cars.<\/h1>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

About Detour Right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
