Re: UK to Bosnia!

My man from Austria used to do the UK to Salzburg trip in about 16 hours driving his 3.0litre n/a diesel with an eye to best economy, i.e. keeping it under 60mph. However, he was travelling alone and stopped only when he had to, which wasn't often. He worked on the "slow and steady" philosophy. When he did the return trip, it took us about a day and a half to get any sense out of him, or work.
