ETS2 - Crossing France on a Vespa in one game day
Here on the channel that likes to answer questions only the brave or foolhardy dare to even think, our next gem of consumer advice awaits you, dear viewer!
In this epic journey we will find out if it is possible to cross France from Strasbourg near the German border in the east to Brest, sticking far out west into the north Atlantic ocean in just one (game) day.
On a Vespa scooter...
Well, as near to a Vespa as you can currently find in the mod workshops supporting SCS Software's Euro Truck Simulator 2. In this case it's the nattily-named "Faggio", a mod by Marin (link below).
The main problem is range - and you thought it was just something that the popular media outlets would have you believe only EV drivers worried about! The route needs to pass as many fuel stations as possible because this little step-through twist'n'go scooter actually has 150hp and a real gearbox - plus something roughly the capacity of a large hat for a fuel tank.
Welcome to the ETS2 Tour of French Fuel Stations, with some scenery in between...!
