General Road trip!

[crabman]

Hi guys,

I have seen on the forum quite a few road trips around Europe and, as we are going to be tight on money next year, the missus and I were thinking of showing the car it's home country and touring a little along the mediterrainian coast.

By the time we take the trip, the car will most likely have done less than 3,000 miles and the holiday would be atleast that in around 3-4 weeks.

Having no experience with cars, or engines, I was wondering if this would be good or bad for the 'new' engine? I understand it'll loosen it up, but do you think it'll be too much for the little 500 to take as a toddler?

Any opinions greatly appreciated.

I'd have thought that any potential teething troubles would have shown themselves by then. It'd be a doddle!

Beaten to it, I was wondering what part of Poland has a coastline

I took mine to Italy at about the same mileage and covered 2.5k miles. The car went like dream without a hic-cup. We will be repeating the trip in a few weeks time too. Long trips are far better for an engine than short trips around town.
