Re: F-Type Grand Tour of alpine regions in Europe

Great videos Dan. Given how much brake dust mine sheds in normal driving, you must have been permanently cleaning your wheels. Thanks ! Was meant to be 5x better, but the first time since they started recording snowfall, 70% of the mountain passes were still closed in mid-may.. Even now : Splügen p...

Re: F-Type Grand Tour of alpine regions in Europe

may 29th.. Lukmanier pass, canyons, cowboys and cops..

Susten, Furka, Grimsel, Gotthard and Nufenen were closed when we were there !

For all of you that wonder : its recorded this year. The '2018' is to confuse third party use.. 8-)

Re: Just ordered my first F-Type

..So an average of 31 mpg overall. Not bad, My v8 sometimes reaches 25 mpg, 11.3 L/100km on a run but not often. Usually low 20's. 13.5L/km.... I -hope- you mean "13.5L / 100km..." :shock: This was a reason not to buy the V6 [ V8 is disustingly heavily taxed here..] , just think at a petr...

Re: Just ordered my first F-Type

I don't know if anybody watched any of my roadmovies in the 'alpine tour' thread. We did 7500km in 20 days with the 2-liter, not trying to save at all, sports mode dynamic about 40% of the time, almost all passes.. We averaged 9,0 L/100km ! On the highway at 140km/h it still returns 6.5 L/100km... b...

With me the same thing happened. Next they halted production and started building the MY2020..
So you're just sqeezed in before a production stop or change.

Re: F-Type Grand Tour of alpine regions in Europe

Another day from the tour, may 28th.

Trip from Pontresina through Maloja, Splügen and SanBernadino passes. Gloomy and clouded. No mishaps,
but many, many, many hairpins.... No 'pink elephants' , but two pink cars oncoming ; what are the odds..

Re: F-Type Grand Tour of alpine regions in Europe

@XZ4. Thanks ! About 8 more vids to come ; short of time to deal with it. About 30min work to get to 1 min of 'condensed' video ... We have about 6 hours recording per day. I think 10 mins per video is too much, try to keep it under 8 minutes. I once owned an MG-F ; nice in spring or clouded weather...
