[Where's Shmee?] 191mph, Epic Mountain Roads and 5 Countries - Episode 03
- 5 years ago
Where's Shmee? I'm travelling around Europe in my R8 Spyder, visiting some great automotive venues and events while uploading daily coverage of my trip with a friend in a Gulf Boxster.

Day 3, a 16 hour drive, starting out with Autobahn blasts as we progress through 5 countries towards the Modena region of Italy. The morning involved reaching a top speed of 191mph in the R8 V10 Spyder with the car still rising in speed (I wonder if 200mph is possible...), along with a 175mph run top down - but believe me that was seriously windy. We then crossed the border to Austria before visiting Liechtenstein briefly and heading into the Swiss Alps. With lunch and some glorious mountain roads in the Klosters/Davos/St Moritz area we progressed through Northern Italy in the evening. For the record, Italian drivers are absolutely crazy!
Tomorrow we head to visit some of the famous Italian car manufacturers while taking a break from long driving legs.
Stay tuned for coverage of the event and more in the coming days!
Thanks for watching, Tim
