We visited Easter 24 and stayed in the hotel (Homewood suites by Hilton) behind you at the start of the video, in fact the room right behind you! I visited in 97 with my parents and remember Int Drive being a place to go and do things outside of the parks so when I took my own family I wanted to stay in the area so we could walk and do things. There's so much to do in the area and we felt safe day and night. We did the helicopter ride and found the cost to be decent considering what you're actually doing. They have different length flights at different costs. We did the 12 minute one which took us over Disney and back, well worth it. Shame you missed "The Pointe" complex just beyond the Walgreen's as there's a lot of restaurants down there and a cinema. Also lots more to do up the other way after the McDonalds. We will definately stay in Homewood suites again, great breakfast included and free parking if staying over 7 nights, one note though, even though clean and tidy it is a little dated but I Can overlook that due to location and breakfast etc.

Thanks for commenting. I considered adding The Pointe but it’s become quite a ghost town over the years, it has so much potential but many of the businesses left. I am going back in the summer and I’ll add some videos on other parts of Orlando that are less touristy, but still kind of cool things to do, especially on rest days between park visits.
@bikeronnie18 күн бұрын
@@michaeldoesstuffs We were there while it was spring break so probaly doesn't get much busier, found The Pointe to be busy but not until 8-9pm onwards. There's also Wonder works (the Upside down house) just past Walgreen's. We did an airboat ride At Wild Willy's on the east side shore Of Lake Tohopekaliga, St Cloud. Thoroughly recommend it, great guides who knew where to see the wildlife.
@michaeldoesstuffs17 күн бұрын
Wild Willy’s is great, especially if you visit at the right time of the year when the alligators are out. You’re right about Spring break being busy, as is May and June. I was hoping to visit in June next year but hotel prices are expensive, much cheaper towards the end of August so going then instead. Easter is great for the weather though, much less thunderstorms.

Thanks for breaking down all the costs. It's on my bucket list to do a European road trip, I will do one sometime in the future and it was helpful to have some idea of costs
@michaeldoesstuffs20 күн бұрын
No problems. Go for it, decide where you want to go and book the train, then you’re committed. That hardest part is booking all the hotels. Some people are happy to book them on the day as they travel but that adds extra stress and is often more expensive. If you have any other questions then let me know.

I watched a few other videos that covered older bmw’s and many said it’s related to sludge that gathers in the bottom of the tank. From reading articles it seems that they recommend using bmw approved screenwash, which is expensive.

Most French people go on holidays in August or July for a few weeks and cities in the interior of the country tend to get a little empty during that time, Meanwhile beach areas and resort destinations gets unbearably busy. To enjoy visiting France, a late spring or early fall trip are recommended, unless you're going to the coasts (Atlantic or Mediterranean).

Cool, glad you’ve got one. I still love mine! There are other videos on my channel where we did a roadtrip over the summer so go and check those out. I’m always amazed at the size of the boot given it’s a roadster, it makes it easy to use as a daily driver. As for cleaning the back window, I’ve not attempted it but I’ve seen some comments online where people say they take the roof part way down which then allows them to access/clean the rear window.

My 1st BMW, few Mercs, RS and Lexus’s, was after a Boxster 718 but still little pricey and when the Mrs was getting new Lexus this had been traded in, had a test drive and Sold 😂.

Honestly curious what made you want to do a road trip in the z4? I´ve got a g29 z4 20i (looks like exactly the same spec u got, red exterior, black vernasca interior) here in spain and after 1-2 hours of driving it on the highway im both fatigued and bored. Love it for short trips around town or to pop into the nearby city as you can have a ton of fun on local roads, low speed, traction off etc. but its really not great for long highway trips, doesnt have lane keep or any of the tech its sibling 3,4 series gets, seating position is too low and not enough space behind you to get really comfortable.
@michaeldoesstuffs2 ай бұрын
I agree that it’s not as comfortable as my other car, and I was a bit concerned before setting off but I actually got used to it and it was fine in the end. The trip wasn’t just about the cars, we went for the adventure and to see lots of different places, there’s not many trips you can do where you see countryside, mountains and palm trees in the same day.
@grjlynchАй бұрын
My G29 M40i UK spec hasn’t got full lane assist (although it will gently tug at the steering wheel if i wander across a white line without indication). If does not have adapted cruise control or warn you if a car is in your blind spot (which can be quite big on the Z4). I bought my 1919 Z4 used, and trying to get one with the 'Driving Assistant package’ which I think added all these features, was impossible. Having said all of that, I have driven 100s of miles in my Z4 and found it really comfortable - much more so than my previous cars (TT, Z4 35is, MX5, SLK 55, Boxter etc). The only convertable that was more comfortable was my Jaguar XKR, but it drank petrol and was very unreliable. As for the Driving Assistant package, I miss it on long motorway trips, but I try to avoid these as it’s so much more fun on the twisty roads!
@sshanev9956Ай бұрын
@@grjlynchwithout a doubt the new gen is 10x more comfortable than the e89 gen. I find the driving position to be a bit uncomfortable for longer drives and also the fact that brakes and steering are quite sensitive which can take a toll on u on long drives. Adaptive cruise control would def help, although tbh I’ve never had an issue with the blindspot on the z4 (you’re low enough to the ground that you can pretty much see everything out the mirrors
