As some of you know, the wife and I, my friend and his girlfriend are off on a little summer tour of Europe. A total of 15 days, covering approximately 3,300 miles, just for ultimately one reason - Stelvio! Me driving The Bug, and my friend in his 53 plate Z4. We are embarking on a trip that we thought we would regret it if we didnt do it this year, whilst we both have the opportunity. As quite a few people have shown interest in where we going I thought I would put some info here to show what we doing and where we're going. Feel free to add comments/advice/etc. We leave on July 26th and get back on August 9th. This is more or less the route we will be taking: Map…

As posted in events I know that there are a few MLOC'rs out there who have shown an interest in doing a Stelvio tour. So i have got together with Steve N and we have come up with rough tour and price. We have outlined the proposed route, hotels and price in the link below. The proposed tour is for 10 days (one week taking in two weekends) If anyone is interested, we will get together and finalise the details. It will be up to each individual to make their own bookings. In order to ensure that we all end up in the same hotels, i would suggest that anyone interested in this tour adds their name to the list as soon as possible. We intend o…

Hi guys! I thought these might be of interest to people? When I've been planning my routes, I've found organising them on Google Earth pretty handy. What I've done is download a couple of routes for you to look at to see if they work. All you should have to do is remove the .txt part, then double click the file and it should load into Google Earth (You'll have to download the application first, it's free though). Let me know how you get on! European_Tour_2006.kmz.txt Eurotour_2008.kmz.txt

If I was to be planning a trip to the Stelvio area, Italy next year, what kind of 'tourist' sites can I make as stops along the way to help convince the wife we should go? I also need to convince a mate that we should go there instead of the Nurburgring so some great roads along the way would never go amiss. I know some of you have done this trip before. I want to make it a sightseeing trip, not just a jump in the car for 5/6 days and drive lol. We are thinking of going at Easter time, where ever we end up going. I guess I should expect snow/ice in Italy? Is this a good/bad time to go? What can we see/go/stay/do along the route? I'm really a novice at car trip…

Friends of ours have a villa in Torrevieja, on the coast south of Alicante. We are intersted in doing a roadtrip sometime in May. They are going to buy something fun to drive just for the occasion to compliment our Elise and hopefully give us plenty of boot space (he's in car sales). Anyone driven down that way? I've been told by bikers to do Plymouth - Santander on the overnight and then drive down through Spain, doing the Pyrenees and France on the way back up. Any thoughts anyone? Snapper?!
