The coffee brewing description really puts the Tech in eSysman Tech.

Hey up mate this was sweet seeing a sysman in another home environment, that area around mount blonk looks so nice just gorgeous, been using the little man to make coffee since eary 80s but switched to a lavazza one some years back as there made ov stainless, top vid lad really enjoyed it thanks

[@TheOUboy]

Glad to see you guys made it home safe.

Cold in Mont Blanc. Just wait till you get to Cheshire... last week it was 8°C !

If you had taken that right turn marked Martigny SS27 before the San Bernardo tunnel it would have taken you over the Saint Bernard pass. The road they filmed most of the opening scene to the Italian job. The curved bridge you drove over just after that turn is the very bridge where you see the Muira in the very first shot of the film. If you haven't done it before, try it next time as it's not much of a detour but so worth it and rejoins your route on the Swiss side. Just make sure you have Matt Monro ready for it!

Thanks for the road trip vlog. That last day looked pretty hard core miserable.

Another enjoyable video. Yes, SatNavs can be quite tricky as i experienced once with a brand new one. My son and I were on the way to Germany and I thought I had the SatNav all set up but as it turned out I by mistake set it to avoid motorways and, of course, we made a right blimming detour in Belgium. A gallon, by the way, is about 4.55 litres.

He was saying ov us gallon

[@hanshartfiel6394]

@@johngibson3837 I didn't hear the US bit and a US gallon is actually 3.78 litres which is a bit strange as normally everything is bigger over there

What a great trip. Love a road trip down there. Mont Blanc… and okay a little tour to San Bernardino Tunnel is always a pleasure!

In regards to explosives checking at the Chunnel,, they’ve been doing that on the French side since the 90’s when they used to swab 5 vehicles steering wheels in a row, test it in a cabin and either let all of you go or test individually if they came up with something. The UK started doing it about ten years ago.

[@gbphil]

Did hire a couple of motorcycles from Milan in September a few years back, 35 degrees in Milan, snowing after the Como tunnel in Bolzano and Stelvio. 2 inches of snow. Yet when we abandoned the trip early and looped back via Riva and Limone, it was once again 35-40 degrees whilst we toured the Ducati factory in Bologna and watched the Moto GP at Misano. Then again, it’s the Alps?

Bonjour,super,you ccreated good recording,

[@markukblackmore]

Agh I was going to send you some updated photos of Scheherazade from a few days ago. I guess I won’t have to now. 😀

[@clifbradley]

Well I know Spetznas didn't get you checking out Putin's yacht, thankfully. Since you released the video that's my confirmation. Only you are. Rave enough to report on that stuff. I remember driving around there and picking people up from the private terminal and bringing them back to the boat in rented Land Rovers. Getting Gelato at Mary's. Then even the yacht went to Spain and driving around there. Miss the views. Florida has no mountains. My mom lives in West Virginia. Lots of mountains there. Good driving roads too. Lots of twisted turns. But if you go off, because there aren't guardrails everywhere, kiss it goodbye because you are going down 200'.

[@wrightwoodwork]

I stopped in Genoa for an ice cream when I did the milan san remo grandfondo it was something like 38 40 degrees

The only thing better than a road trip through Europe in a Porsche Macan GTS is a road trip through Europe in a Porsche 911 GTS. Love these trips. JK Charleston

[@normbond8888]

Easiest is for the UK to start driving on the RIGHT SIDE of the road like most countries do. Even Sweden switched sides. Also I’m surprised you had to change your clock as most up to date vehicles in North America automatically recognize the time zones as you pass between them & change the clock accordingly. Until we can convince the USA to switch to metric we also have to bounce between metric & imperial at the boarder unless you can convert in your head. Good video. Thanks 👍🇨🇦🙏

[@eSysmanTech]

Sweden switched in the 1960s, would be much much harder now, and we don’t want to switch.

@@eSysmanTech & this is why the British Bull Dog is so stubborn. Once one quits hitting one’s head against the wall it doesn’t hurt so much anymore. The reason for driving on the left hand side of the road isn’t relevant since we moved on from the horse & buggy or knights jousting at tournaments. There is a reason why most of the world has it RIGHT. But keep up your videos on both channels as I do enjoy your candour & all the content you provide. I do respect your opinions even the ones I disagree with.

[@bryangreenwood8453]

Thank you for another great video, quick question. What was your average fuel consumption for the 2750 miles covered ?

[@eSysmanTech]

The Macan gets approximately 27mpg.

[@GreyHak]

I wish I could get a gallon for $3.50. In California, sadly, it's more like $5+/gallon. Thanks for the great video.

[@eSysmanTech]

Still cheaper than Europe!

[@stephenmurray9850]

Never ever trust a GPS/sat nav. As an ex truck driver I have first hand knowledge of GPS's sending you to no where near where you wanted to go. Thanks for the video.

[@charlienevergold3654]

You preferred lower level. What’s the difference between upper and lower level on the train?

[@johngibson3837]

Might get of first?

[@eSysmanTech]

Well my car is quite wide and tall and the upper deck is a bit cramped.

[@johngibson3837]

@@eSysmanTech hey up sysman, so is my unimog will have to remember use the bottom deck next time, hope your enjoying the beautiful Friday weather in pomy land today

@@eSysmanTech do you just sit in your car for the 40 minute trip? Can you get out and go the snack car?

[@DavidWilson-kr5gt]

Was that the same Aston Martin following you off the train that you saw in Italy? Do you share the driving with your wife or does she get the full chauffeur treatment all the way home? 😂

[@eSysmanTech]

I do all the driving!

[@normbond8888]

Your 65 litres would have cost approx C$102 or €72 or £62 or USA $78 (all rounded off) instead of what you guys paid 😢

[@clifbradley]

I didn't know you had anyone with you and just thought you meant 'we' colloquially. Then I saw the tiny poece of clothing in the back and you said 'when you got someone in back' I was just thinking you meant we as in the audience with you. Now I feel less special, lol.

[@glass1258]

Why you make your girl ride in the back ? lol

[@eSysmanTech]

She wants to sit in the back. More space she says.

[@clifbradley]

French police pulled over because you are a famous Yachttuber and they wanted to meet you.

[@tuberjr]

channel tunnel train .overpriced and inflexible......ferry every time

[@eSysmanTech]

I wouldn't say it's inflexible, I have been late/early many times and they are usually seamless in getting me onboard.
