Just ordered 4 stickers for £2.19.

Tried really hard today in a 70 mile round (linear) trip to max the fuel. Got 42.7mpg out and 41.8 return. This from a 3.5l V6. I bet I could mash that with a CT!

My magnetic one left a mark on my paintwork. Might buy a new UK numberplate unless that is outlawed.

Oh, I also very much enjoyed the Lexus female navigation voice chipping into my journey, even though I was using a TomTom. Very accurately she would say "You crossed the border." Worth crossing a border just to hear her voice!

Called "intrusion sensor cancel switch" -
Just had a look at the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake. https://uk.motor1.com/news/506804/genesis-g70-shooting-brake-reveal/ Looks very nice, although no V6 engine for Euro market, so I am oot. For me the shape is exactly what I would want in my ideal Lexus.

I have European breakdown cover and my insurance gave me a green card, though not needed. Did take out extra health cover for the month though. As to mileage. I did a straight run in one day from Brighton to Southern Switzerland last year on the peages. Very tiring. This year did a max of 250 miles in one day. Much easier on the bum, although the GS seats are exceptionally good.

You have to stop over in Montreuil Sur Mer, a bit south of Calais. Wander around the town walls. A place where health and safety does not exist.

Just have to factor in costs if you are planning Switzerland. We did it on the cheap by not ever eating out, and with a free cable car pass. About £2.5k spent for the entire trip for two of us, 31 nights, including Covid tests. Food is about 3x the UK price.

Back home after a month of continental wanderings. Lexus was sublime. Only one issue. After a long 300 mile drive I accelerated hard onto a slip road. Hurt my back with the power of the car. Careful out there!
-
Popping into Germany tomorrow, but the top box means I cannot put my foot down on the autobahn. Shame. 80mph is plenty unless I want to see 60 bars of Swiss chocolate in my rear view mirror.

In a forest in Alsace this weekend. On the way back to Blighty. Slowly.
-
Reverse steep hill start on concrete. Full hybrid battery. Engine did not kick in. Torque from electric motor was too much. Lots of burnt rubber, eventually ice kicked in to calm it down and get some traction.

In the background are bonkers glacial moraine rock pyramids.

One of my favourite spots.

Srdtuning.com in West Sussex. Know their way around Jap cars. Have personally used them. Tell Lee and James I recommended them. -
The Police will appreciate a quality item when they see it. It might brighten their weary day.

Homemade UK sign. From a plastic plate.
-
Yes. Some hilarious signage over here.
-
Spot the Lexus. Nothing much to report. Just relaxing, walking the bisses (irrigation channels) through the vineyards.
-
Switzerland is a microcosm of that. Fabulously wealthy few, loads of people on breadline, and a huge workforce who schlepp over the border everyday from poorer countries.
-
That comment was one step beyond.
-
Drove over the allegedly unspectacular Simplon Pass back into Switzerland today. Seemed ok to me.

Bit of a secret. I thought the Italian lakes would be rammed. Turns out this one is not. We had a lakeside village completely to ourselves today. Saw no one except some workmen renovating a home. Ronco on Lake Orta.
