Halfway through a road trip through the Champagne region of France, Switzerland, Italian lakes then on to Germany and Belgium.
Very comfortable on the motorways, rapid as anything but kept the Abarth in the rear view mirror up the mountain roads. It'll never be a 911 but you can't have your back massaged in a 911 while carrying 3 people!
no comfort now i know but the top tip for the tunnel is book yourself onto the carriages for "high" or basically commercial vehicles as the carriage is much wider, no alloys issue. i've watched a number of videos from the youTube fraternity who use the chunnel a lot and they all do this to get the width needed for their various wide supercars.

Great advice on the tunnel, shall definitely be doing that next time!
Some more pics from today's drive to Germany. Only about 5km of unrestricted but managed 130 easily, shocking how often Citroën C3 etc just pull out, which really gets the adrenaline flowing!
Rubbish shot of the lake at Lucerne Charging the battery on the downhill.
Coming down the mountain with regeneration really is fun, all those other saps burning away their pads whilst the ehybrid is adding free kms. Smart.
France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg (haha), Belgium and France.
3 Adults + a 1 year old - in relatively high comfort - with those in the back enjoying the entertainment system which streams very nicely from the on board Wifi. For those in the UK - pay the money and get FlexiPlus in the tunnel (they physically walk you past the long immigration queues) and get a Sanef tag for the French tolls - you slow down to about 50kph then punch straight through the toll gates.

Downside.... Channel Tunnel killed the alloys...
That tunnel train design is idiotic - I (gently) scraped 3 wheels in that tunnel on my brand new 911 Turbo S during Euro delivery this summer. There are basically sharp metal rails on both sides, and for tires of taller profiles the wheel isw above the sharp edge, so no curbing happens. Low profile tires curb in an instant.
