Pics: IS F vs. Swiss Alps
I spent the last 2 weeks road tripping Switzerland, Italy, France and Monaco with the F. 13 years ago I did the same in my Celica GT-Four, so it was cool to recognize some of the passes and replicate some pics with the F. We had a blast chasing Teslas on the mountain roads with glorious V8 noises echoing from the rock face and many tunnels. Here’s some pics you might enjoy. 
Specs of the car can be found in my ghetto build thread. Pics are taken with a Samsung S10 phone (hence some lens distortion).
ODO meter broke down on me
Driving part of the GP track in Monaco (hairpin at the Fairmont hotel. During the race cars go the other direction and will then make a right turn into the tunnel near the harbour):
Despite visiting the 24h of Le Mans multiple times with this car, this pic was still missing in my collection. So since we were close..
All in all the car held up great. We drove just over 4200 km (close to 2650 mi). Spirited driving in the Alps @ 25 deg C (77 F) ambient saw max 4 bars oil temp. Avg fuel consumption was a relaxed 19 mpg!
