Quite the trip. Back in 1989 when I was 18 I fancied some chips, so, I jumped in my Ford Escort 1.3L Y reg and drove from Bedfordshire to Sidmouth for some chips. I ate them by the sea, got back in the car and drove back to Bedfordshire. I went there because I went on holiday with my late mum. It felt good and the chips were nice too 😁 Those were the days when you could go from Bedfordshire to Devon in around 4 hours due to the lack of speed cameras and much much less traffic. These days its a 6 to 7 hour journey 🙄

I knew you would be stopped coming back into the UK. The first thought that flashed through my mind was "he's gonna get stopped" because I've just finished reading a book by Peter James who writes about Roy Grace a Brighton detective. He caught his man , a drug dealer no less, by sheer luck when his man was stopped coming back to Britain in a Ferrari full of cocaine and as yours is an exotic car it was inevitable you would look suspicious . Moral of the story. Travel to Paris and back in a Ford Focus.

I’m so glad you binned the BM off and took the AMG! I was stationed in Germany for 12 years and started off with the ferries but then started using the tunnel as it helped with the time to pop home for the weekend. I remember us getting stopped at French customs after we’d been on exercise in Canada for a month. We’d flown home and jumped straight in the car to go on leave. Well our dirty washing from Canada was in the boot and the customs officer was keen to look inside, my mate said you don’t want to do that which egged him on to look and as the zip was yanked open on the bag his face as the aroma hit him and his urges to be sick had us both laughing our heads off! Good times!

Your experience with that van pulling out from the side road in Paris is probably the mad concept in France of “priorité à droite” at junctions that don’t have give way (cedez le passage) signs. It means the vehicle on the right has priority even if the road on the right is what appears to be a side road. They even have this on some roundabouts which is even more exciting!

I used to travel across the continent, to Hungary every summer, even in the winter once or twice. We stopped in Paris and other places for a few days and I always thought that the ideal car to do this journey is something in the range of a 5/7 series BMW, E or S-Class/CLS, an A8, XJ or maybe a CL. Your LS would have been also a fine car, but people driving those never leave the country by car. I drove a few 3 series and C-Class across, but you need plenty o refinement and long/wide chassis to make long journeys comfortable. Also, driving around the Arc de Triomphe in a RHD car (or generally in Paris) that costs a small fortune is not fun. I spent a few months in France when I mainly drove a VW Caravelle, a gen 1 Range Rover and occasionally, a Daimler. The French love the latters. Maybe avoid the Range Rover in Paris, unless prepared for hitting scooters or having extensive dent removal and crash repair. My last few cars were mainly E-Class estates and I’d say, that is a good enough car to do continental journeys even better than it is a good enough car to do the shopping. An E350 CDI estate would be a marginally less dynamic car on this journey than any sports car. May as well, you could head south and make it a GT road trip! If you are travelling in the winter, take an Quattro or Allroad, A6 or A8. I was genuinely looking forward to see the 730d on that journey.

@@heinrichschmitz8964 200bhp is just about or below the range of the six cylinder diesel versions of the cars I listed. I’d say that on the autobahn, you may notice the extra power on high speed cruising, purely by lower revs and less noise. Overall, though, I would not enjoy a long road trip more in a GT, SL or 911 than in a six-cylinder German executive.

The consumer advice had largely disappeared and had been replaced by celebrity and toxic humour...... and that's why I love your channel Matt. You give factual, honest advice and opinion; something that seemed to have disappeared for 20 odd years. Yeah OK there have been other KZbinrs during that time but you..... I dunno...... you have a depth of knowledge and a charisma that has got me hooked. We're not all about Interviews with Jimmy Carr and dead prostitute jokes.

@@HighPeakAutos crazy. I’m the same age as you and have been watching you since the early Skoda superb review days ;) Just actually sold my perfectly maintained high mileage w211 e220 facelift diesel over the weekend :( 430k km, and in the family since new. Too expensive to insure & run an old diesel these days, especially with a company car

I'm pleasantly delighted by the last minute change to the AMG GT instead of the 7'er! Top Gear Aston DB9 to Montecarlo vibes!

Now that 730 has a full tank, gonna have to use it! I lived in Paris for a little over a year, took my UK car with me. A Mercedes a very similar colour to yours except it was an SLK and it was diesel. Every single time I crossed back on the ferry, without fail, I got pulled into the little customs shed built for one. Honestly, why, every bloody time. Well done on making the detour to London, god bless you Ma’am

question about your range rover: have you tried putting your rear seats down and been able to sit in your normal position. my l405 autobiography with the executive seats makes me sit so far forward with all the seats flat

First video I’ve had to dislike of yours, felt a bit clickbait, would have been a more interesting video if you had gone in the old 7 series. Even if it had broken down.

Yeah fair enough but I didnt have time to waste - as it turned out, the football match was cancelled and the filming the following week was pushed back so I could've taken my time in the 730d

I drove to Paris 3 times from Macclesfield in both a 1991 Citroen BX estate TD (worth £200) and a Citroen ZX TD Estate worth £1500. No mishaps. Your BMW would have been perfect- just without the added deadlines! Please could you do another film with some 'risk'! ? :)

Look at the background in the start of this video. Just magnificent! I have to admit I thought you were going to try to go somewhere and back in a Range Rover initially which caused me to spew my cup of coffee all over my keyboard. I agree the finishing touch was tasteful. No one can do pomp and ceremony as good as the British.

Thanks for taking us along for your quick trip to Paris. Perfect ending to your video. I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the resemblance to Geroge Clooney in Brother's Where Art Thou, Dapper Dan and all. And, given your acting career, we can indeed say you hit your marks in a way most KZbinr's just don't. Well done-- you've earned your success!; regardless of the suspicions your age and cars arouse at Customs.

Great Video just had the Gear box re built in my 2008 Disco 3 (192k) and done 3000 miles around Southern France and Northern Spain with my baby Daughters 23 and 26 !!!! She ran like a dream used an amazing ZF gearbox specialist in Liverpool called Birch Motors for the Job Euro tunnel there Ferry back Averaged about 32mpg which considering the miles and age of the car not bad. Love a Euro Road trip going to the Snow at Christmas next. Actually got all around Italy in 2019 before all the travel restrictions hit. Love the content you are getting better and better, when are you on the Box !!! Stay safe Good Luck.
