OK, we've booked our rooms in Strasbourg at the same hotel.

Have you booked your tunnel crossing yet ? (Kirsty will probably fly down to Gatwick on the Wednesday evening so we'll stay over somewhere near the tunnel that night ready to cross whenever in the morning).

Is anyone else looking to hang on in Italy for a few days after International or is it all a mad dash for Coquelles ?

Hi Fellow forteeners, looks like we will be running solo for this one! :( my plan is---- Tues 27th drive to Hull for the overnight ferry to Rotterdam, Wed, drive to Dusseldorf and catch the Autozug sleeper train to Innsbruck, drive the 100+ miles to Bormio arriving Thurs afternoon, join the pre-meeting friends for the evening meal. After the meeting ends on Sunday return to hotel, Monday, drive to Innsbruck for return journey home. SIMPLES!!

Hi Dave
I got a good deal on the ferry so we are going P&O at 0925. Hope that's ok with you.
Re stopover, Dover is not brilliant I would suggest Folkestone is better and only 10 mins from Dover.
Pm me your mobile number so we can communicate arrival at the port etc.
cheers

Your looking good Gustl, see you there...


Not long to go now!

Are you ready?

Will be spending the weekend getting my 914 ready for the trip to Italy, as I’ve been spending my weekends getting others ready for the trip when I have not been attending car shows!

New set of tyres to be fitted, wheel alignment and service to do and then to work out which spare parts to pack, so we can all get there and back under our own power.

The Bormio 914 International staff bus is ready!

The clock I believe will be in the attendees goodie bag. :wink:

Rod if the blue bag is available I will be happy to pick it up for you.

It is looking like we all need to bring the snow chains for the Stelvio Pass and other passes as the Italians might not have it fully cleared in time! :roll:
