Swindon to Tromso 2016 my W12 Jurney

[daviesbike]

Well ... in February 2016 my partner and I are embarking on a Jurney of epic proportion...

And request the help and advice of fellow A8ers

A tad on the background is that I used to live in a small town called Sjovegan "south of Tromso " so we have a family owned log cabin there that we will be staying in.

We are going to drive there in the W12 taking on Austria near Vienna en rout as we will stay with friends one night to break it up.

Main concerns are I'm struggling to map out the rout with frequent LPG filling stations .. " current range 200 miles to a tank" Only a 65L tank sadly.

Second questions are .. when we lived in Norway it got to -30c in winter... we used to have an old ford sierra that had to be plugged in over night to avoid freezing .now I have Auxiliary heating with engine Pre heating but will that be enugh to protect it in cold start environments ?

I have 18" winter wheels with a 55 profile tyre. They are studless ice tyres. "Bridgestone blizak LM25 " brand new. With tpms to keep an eye on things.

You may have seen my suspension mod to lift it and give more clearance this will also be implemented Pre departure

Roof box will be going with 1-2 spair wheels. " I have 6 of the above wheel set ups" .... slowly built up the collection of them now have 8 of the rs4 wheels. And 8 blizak lm25 s.

Any Norwegian A8 owners living in Norway able to help out with this incase I've missed anything out ?
