>>>>> 2009 Euro Road Trip !!!!

booforty · 09-12-2008, 05:10 AM

NINE COUNTRIES IN NINE DAYS!!!

It won't be a road trip without you guys...

Here's a rough plan of the journey. We won't take this exact route, its just that Google decides its own route to each destination!!

E92Fan · 09-12-2008, 05:15 AM

After our previous chats, you know I'm in... will call you later...

Serjames · 09-12-2008, 05:52 AM

If I can A) afford it, B) still have a license C) get the time off

I will be there.

Serjames · 09-12-2008, 06:53 AM

If there are at least 15cars departing from the UK, we can get preferential rates on Eurotunnel...

...assuming they manage to put out the fire by 2009.

That route looks pretty good Boof, would be sacrilidge to miss out Modena, when your soo close `tho.

I get married the end of Sept next year so try and make it a little earlier than that (Our Caribbean holliday got cancelled last year after I moved the dates to squeeze a `ring trip in, don`t think moving the wedding is an option `tho

).

booforty · 09-12-2008, 01:52 PM

Modena is definitely an option Mike!

That's the purpose of this thread to gauge thoughts and ideas and I think Modena is a superb suggestion!

Its only 67 miles South of Lake Garda anyway

robbie99 · 09-12-2008, 01:58 PM

Oh wow that's a trip and a half

Sign me up please! That'll be 11 countries for this Dublin boy

Hoops · 09-13-2008, 04:39 AM

Jimbo - you only ever scare yourself when you've got either me or Carlos rammed up your tailpipes!!!! Thats enough to scare anyone!!
Ps; have you managed to get rid of that certain unpleasant "aroma" yet!!???

mjbmw · 09-13-2008, 11:26 AM

Looks a great plan, and a trip I'd like to make.

But I fear my 'NEW' 320d would be left behind.

Don't be silly

It's not just for people with the quickest cars

especially when it comes to things like the Stelvio Pass

SoYank · 09-13-2008, 12:11 PM

That trip spends WAY too much time in France.

gIzzE · 09-13-2008, 04:43 PM

I would be up for this, maybe only the first three days or so as I am sure getting any longer away from home without taking all the troops would not get the thumbs up!!

Not sure what I'll be in though.

booforty · 09-14-2008, 03:33 PM

Hello stranger!! Miss using the smilies do you!!

jjbirch · 09-15-2008, 05:13 AM

i have just been reading this in the sun, what ever you call it make sure its not a race, as the german police just impounded 43 uk cars on a euro trip and they paid 3k for the trip lol

I love this quote

He added: “They aren’t criminals. Some are over 60. .....”

dxb335d · 09-15-2008, 05:25 AM

I saw that ''Euro Enduro'' advertised in a magazine approx 4 months ago and thought abbout doing it. Glad i didnt now.

jjbirch · 09-15-2008, 05:32 AM

no point me taking part as my map is gone lol, and have to wait a week to put it back on as the company is racing this weekend at sliverstone grrrrrrrrrr

willhollin · 09-15-2008, 06:29 AM

Need to get some window stickers printed up for the German trip then.

Here's an idea...

booforty · 09-15-2008, 06:46 AM

All cars are welcome on this trip and of course it is NOT A RACE!!!

Please don't assume that we will be driving everywhere as fast as possible, we won't.

Whether you have a 318i or a remapped 335d, all are welcome...
