    Re: Holidays in Australia

    Not in a Strato's?? Why the engine light on?? Did 100miles (1600km) in 2 days in a 1955 Lancia Aurelia B12 last October. Took 2 days as it kept over heating and the dynamo broke....

    Re: Holidays in Australia

    The longest drive I've ever done in the Stratos in a day was after the Lancia Centenary. Andrea & I went up to Malcesine on Lake Garda for a few days. The journey home started at 10ish on the road and we headed South towards Milan, across towards Turin before heading for Aosta, Lausanne, Besancon, Dijon and stopped at Reims around 10pm. Stops for fuel along the way and the odd butty we did just over 1000km in the day. The following day was Reims to Calais, Dover and Liverpool adding another 800km for a total of 1800km odd in 36 hours.

    Longest drive in a day, sharing the driving in a Stratus was just under 800 miles from San Francisco to the Grand Canyon. I think that took us 14 hours with stops for fuel and food.

    Ha! Yes, following you from Toulouse I remember you disappearing in a cloud of steam as the header tank dumped it's contents on the front bank headers!
    And we left behind some thirsty horses.......
