A challenge I am attempting this summer.

30 Countries in 30 Days in an E30.

The idea behind the '30in30' challenge is to:

1) Highlight the fantastic community of enthusiasts the E30 has created in Europe and document such via a daily vlog (YouTube), web blog and social media updates throughout the trip. Go to local meetups, runs etc...

2) Raise funds for 3 charities.

The route is yet to be finalised and even when the challenge begins it may still be changed, however, it is looking like we will be visiting;

Ireland - UK - France - Luxembourg - Belgium - Netherlands - Germany - Denmark - Sweden - Norway - Finland - Estonia - Latvia - Lithuania - Poland - Czech Republic - Austria - Slovakia - Hungary - Romania - Bulgaria - Macedonia - Greece - Albania - Montenegro - Croatia - Slovenia - Italy - Switzerland - Spain

Am I mad attempting such a trip in an E30? Possibly

Will the E30 break down somewhere along the route? Definitely

Some more info can be found here: http://E30owners.com/30in30

Cheers,
John

Make sure you take a few spares with you, like a petrol pump for example.

When you get to Switzerland as number 29, you could get to Lichtenstein as number 30 much more easily than Spain!

Could do Wales and England instead of the UK, but guess making this easy isn't the point! :D
