Thank you and you are correct. I finally got the folding mirrors (export) and also got the door plaque with the power folder switch BUT my mechanic cannot seem to make it work - it was much easier on the 2008 Cadillac STS-V - in that one it was just plug and play. So let me take the info you...

I just ordered them - and they are power folding

That's a good question. I live in Italy but have a US XLR here with me. I did buy (through GM China) the UNECE power window/mirror switch controls (different from the US version which does not have the switch for the mirrors - only for the windows and power locks). BTW, UNECE stands for...

well I drove from Spain to Tangier and back. Basically you just get on the ferry and before you know it you have landed in Africa. So it was pretty cool to drive an XLR to Morocco. I had planned on staying 4 nights with a friend joining me from the DRC (the Congo) but at the last minute he...

Has anyone driven to Morocco from Spain? I was looking for some advice.

My humble suggestion is that you put on the V-series wheels

More photos of the unique 2009 XLR - one of only two with a Bvlgari instrument panel - the Bvlgari instrument panel was only standard from 2004-2008.

Above are the other two cars - so in total it is 6 Cadillacs - 5 in Italy and 1 in Miami that is going to Italy. If members want to see other photos of these cars in landscapes that you dont ordinarily see I will add them. These cars and one SUV have driven the length of Italy, France...

The MkIII CTS-V was photographed in Rome; the MkII was photographed in Punt'Ala near Grosseto (notice the left-had rear position light is on). This is a really cool feature found on most cars sold in Europe. When you are parked awkwardly or double parked, or parked illegally, you turn the...

Besides the CT6-V; the MkII CTS-V and the MkIII CTS-V I also am a proud owner of an STS-V and an '07 Escalade. You can see below the top speed of the CTS-V MkII taken somewhere in Germany a year or so ago.....

Well you should do it then. I drove my 2020 CT6-V from Allentown, PA to Miami last month. I had done this trip a few times so I decided to shake things up a bit and rather than drive entirely on I-95 so after Wilmington I took an easterly turn and headed towards Dover on Route 13. Crossed...

Hi Batmobile - Cool V. I might be in Riyadh next month. Looking forward to all the automotive eye candy!

I ended up spending the night at the Marriott Hotel in Munich - it was $120 for a suite - hotels in Germany are not expensive. A 5-star hotel that starts at $600 in Paris or Milan is $300 in Berlin. I never understood why but I never complain. The day was a mixed bag weather wise. When I left...

But of course in Germany this is the GREATEST SIGN IN THE WORLD. This is the sign that denotes that the road ahead has NO SPEED LIMIT! Bless my sweaty palms I was going to burn some fuel on this day. Well not so fast - do you all know that at speeds above 200 km/h I burn through a tank of...

After leaving Metz in the morning this is the final stretch of French highway, appropriately called the Autoroute des Anglais, that takes you to Calais and on to the car train that goes under the spit of water that separates France from the not-so-much-anymore United Kingdom. The one-way passage...

So I arrived at the St Mihiel Cemetery minutes before the 17:00 closing time. This is the resting home of over 4k US soldiers who fought in the first battle comanded by a US general in the European theatre. Below are some photos of the cemetery. After the US cemetery I drove on to...

This is the map of my outgoing leg: One always tries to avoid driving through Switzerland - going north I either go through France or to get to Germany I go through Austria. The speed limit in Switzerland is 120 km/h and 100 km/h in the tunnels and there are many many tunnels. And there is...

I thought I would talk about a trip that I took with the XLR during the height of the pandemic. I drove from the Tuscan coast to London in 2 days. The first night I stopped in Metz, in Eastern France. I had wanted to visit the killing fields of Verdun - 80 kilometers from Metz (pronounced...
