The route was Fife - Dover - Dunkirk- Luxembourg - Metz - Bodensee - Garmisch - Munich -Berlin - Apeldoorn - Dunkirk -Dover - Fife, with a jaunt across the Polish border at Frankfurt/Slubice. 8 countries in all and roughly 3000 miles covered in 3 weeks.
After getting the arches sorted earlier it was a belt, water pump and oil change and new Good Years all round.
I didn't take any spares just European cover (free- courtesy of a Nationwide current account) and Autoglym Fast Glass to get the flies off the screen each night.
Highlight was going to the museum in Munich and getting a picture outside the factory. The old girl ran well the whole time the only problems being one of the front shocks went and I also discovered that in 30 degree heat at over 90 mph eBay bonnet badges start to de laminate as the glue melts. I also saw far fewer E30s than previous trips to Germany although a US spec 325 on Potsdam plates was a surprise.
Would I do it again - possibly but not such a circuitous route. You get used to modern cars and without a/c hammering down the autobahn in 30 - 35 degree heat is hard going.
Some pics below.
