Chevrolet Volt adventure to Frankfurt

Flights to the Frankfurt Motor Show are for wimps. Who needs the 'comfort' of a budget airline when you can choose to drive the highways and byways of continental Europe in Chevrolet's latest green number, the Volt?

That's just what I aimed to find out when I teamed up with fellow Autoblogger James Baggott, who was driving the slightly more exotic Corvette Grand Sport, for the 1,000-mile trek into deepest Germany. The big question was would the Volt and I make it from Luton to Frankfurt in a day?
