It looks like I will be doing some work on a Client site in Geneva for the next couple of years.

I have been looking at changing cars and have been drawn to Alpina,, and have been to see a few, I will fly back and forth mostly, but quite fancy doing a few 800 commutes and having a car there to have a play with in the alps.

Seeing as the miles will be piling on I wouldn't want to go more than 25-30 K, any suggestions???

    How many times will you really do it once the novelty has worn off?

    Would it not be worth hiring a nice car once in while just for the fun?

    Or are you trying to convince the missus you need it? ;)

    (but then that will require guile and the powers of persuasion..lol)

    Ah the voice of reason, you do have a valid point, I did mention swapping cars with the Mrs and I take her 350Z to the alps.

    She said I could if I bought her a 370Z :eek: will do a couple of runs in the forester and see how I get on.

    When I first did the euro-commute it was great fun - twice. Thereafter a long waste of my valuable leisure time and at the mercy of weather, traffic etc. X 10. Let the plane take the strain.
