Pinz 4x4 Driving on Narrow European Roads?

[nicholastanguma]

Do you lads in Europe ever find it difficult to maneuver your Pinzies along Europe's narrow, winding roads? I know the 710 has a narrow width and short wheelbase, but some of those streets you have in Europe are so tight we'd refer to them as pedestrian sidewalks here in much of the USA.

A roadtrip that avoids high speed carriageways through the Continent sounds great fun, but getting stuck in alleys, accidentally mowing down scooters, and causing snarls of congestion while getting lost in some tiny Italian or French village--or maybe even worse, lost in Rome's traffic!--sounds like a great way to make my wife very angry.

I have driven in several countries with "narrow" roads; Italy, Spain, Greece, small German villages. All
with midsize rental cars. Never had a problem driving in the town back alleys/roads. The only real tight
squeeze I have found are Hotel under ground garages, there you come to appreciate folding side-view
mirrors and guidance from the bell boy to get you in -- a pinz won't clear the header anyway

What kind of problems do you anticipate ?
I sometimes take my 6x6 to the proverbial ice cream shop.
People tend to make room for a Pinz

I'd say that with a Pinz 710's dimensions (except height, most underground city parking will indeed be too low), and the fact that it turns on a dime, you will be better equipped than most modern station-wagons or SUVs.
Any modern SUV will be stuck before you will be, as anything the size of an Audi Q7 would have been called a van or a bus in Europe 50 years ago...
