Milano to Glasgow, via Dover in 2 weeks in the Mig
« on: 11 July 2010, 10:39:17 »

Well after bringing my Irmscher Omega down to Northern Italy in April, I'm taking her back home again, the car gets a lot of attension in Milan as there are no other omega here (I think i've seen 2 estates) and its right hand drive, so anyway I'm driving her back to Glasgow via Switzerland, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belguim then back into France to Calais the reason for this route is that you avoid the tolls in France and save about €45 and the route is only about 30 miles longer and driving via Luxembourg means you can also fill up at about £1 a litre there :y

Jim,

Any chance you can keep half an eye on LPG prices/availability on your way through as I think we'll be driving down in September :y

Thanks

Sounds a bargain, it cost us over €100 to get from calais to annecy!

I know, luckily with my job I get tax free fuel in Italy (€0.60 a liter or £0.50 a liter) so I'II be filling the tank to the neck and filling up my 3x 20 liter fuel cans in the boot before I leave :y

I know road tolls are such a rip of, when I drove to Monte Carlo last weekend it cost €54.00 for a return journey of a distance of 400 miles round trip and we where stuck in traffic >:(I'm glad we don't pay road tolls in the UK
