Ok, so my RX-8's on it's way over to Rotterdam and should be here in the UK around the 4th, so I thought it was time to start planning a road trip. I've been thinking about a raod trip for a while now and previously I was thinking of going to Italy via Germany but seeing as a friend has just moved to Copenhagen I thought it made sense to pop over there too.

For those of you interested, this is my initial plan:

**Distance:** 3,449.85 miles **Time:** 60hrs 46mins**Toll costs:** 143.18 GBP**Road tax cost:** 5.14 GBP

Based on 25mpg and an average of £0.90per litre (I'm hoping its cheaper in Europe than here):

**Petrol costs:** 496.78 GBP**Giving total costs:** 645.10 GBP + food/accommodation

Stopping off at:

- Rotterdam Hamburg Copenhagen Berlin Nurnberg Verona San Marino (it’s only a small detour) Rome Napoli Amalfi Genova Dijon Chalons-on-Champagne Calais Dover London…
