Mclaren 750S into Europe, the usual nonsense!

Stunning location Br d although I’m dizzy and got whiplash from that drone footage ????
The beer was moving the joysticks, I was in the toilet at the time. I'm completely exonerated.
If I wake early, which I normally do, I'm going to do another flight from the room and see how far down the valley I can get.

Came down to a nasty scratch on the wing this morning, it definitely wasn't there when I arrived at that hotel because I spent an hour cleaning it. The car spent most of the stay in the underground garage, I only went out for one quick drive, it doesn't even look like something that could be caused by a stone.
It's suspiciously right on top where you could sit on it. I don't know, I'm probably just being paranoid. Can't get a photo yet cos the garage at this new hotel is pretty dark.
In Austria now, this hotel is pretty sumpsh.
Why not?
Going in the restaurant in an hour, just killing time.
I normally post up any decent cars I see but there just hasn't been any. Could be the weather, had days and days of pissing rain. The last place had a huge underground garage but it was just wall to wall SUV Hybrids which all seem to look the same.
This place does seem to have some nice stuff in the garage, I'll take a wander down there later.

Incredible camera quality on that drone …stunning spot what hotel was it ?
It was... checks notes. The COMO Alpina Dolomites.
It really was a stunning place. There's plenty of here like that but it was the attention to detail that stood out, all the little things were right, loads of extra towels. endless toilet rolls, loads of interesting things in the room fridge, loads of shampoos and stuff.
All that seems trivial but it's surprising how quickly you can run out of stuff in even nice hotels.
And clean man, the whole place was spotless, looked like they cleaned everything once a minute!
It's also a beautiful area, well worth a visit.
Just wait until they've finished resurfacing the road up to it, that was a bit of a nightmare.

Loving the motor what do McLaren charge for Volcano Red these days ?! It’s one of their best hues of course…much of a step up on the 720s overall?
Those bikers sounded like a lovely bunch a certain scene from A Bronx Tale springs to mind!
Sorry bandit, missed this. Those bikers sounded like a lovely bunch a certain scene from A Bronx Tale springs to mind!

Volcano Red is an mso colour so it's a 10k option.
Is it a step up?
I'm having dinner, let me get to the bar and I'll give my thoughts.
Btw, dinner has been a laugh! Things crawling out of my food!
.
Dinner.
Honestly you'd think I was making this s
t up.
I go down to the bar, have a beer then head into the posh restaurant.
You pick your food and they also have an amazing buffet that you can go to as often as you like, Tbh you wouldn't even need the mains, you could just eat from the buffet but I order two courses anyway.
I order a lovely bottle of Cote de Beaune, it's 150 euros but it's Saturday night so I'm feeling effusive. I eat the starter, the buffet, everything's lovely.
Then max, my waiter, along with Julia the waitress, says "Would you like the Gnocchi now sir?"
Yes please max you lovely effeminate man, I'm half way into this bottle and this guy is an absolute gentleman. If I was that way inclined Max would be my fantasy, he's lovely.
So he brings the gnocchi. This is lumps of potato I think, with a sauce and a little sprinkling of rocket salad on top.
So I'm chowing down, I've had about 5 of these, then as I spear the next one I see a green head appear, borrowing it's way out of the gnocchi!
It crawls out and starts a steady exploration across my potato!
So, without any fuss, I quietly call Julia over, show her this little wriggly fker crawling across my food, she looks a bit shocked but acts completely professional.
Wait.
