My rakija-enhanced soul is missing the Balkans in the same way Richard Hammond misses the Demon he drove in Detroit and John Coleman misses my Richard Mille posts.

Fortunately, Renault Italia kindly lent me a Clio - the full hybrid model that does 11,000 MPG - and I immediately decided to s*d off to Slovenia.

This car can do anything and go anywhere. And I drove from Koper to Florence to Milan on 3/4 of a tank so that’s a plus. Full review coming soon
