Ah hem! Have you seen the tiny bit in Sept Evo about this trip? Ok, so the the full 2000 words got cut to just 200 but it is there. Let's see if we can get Rich's Jag roadtrip to Norway in Oct edition.

My fave line " the last time anything from Brown’s lane last crossed the Ruhr at these speeds it was being pursued by Messerschmitts"

Funny and nicely jingoistic; but let it lie Duisburg with the WWII gags or else we'll never blag any Porkers!

Ha ha, yep we got back Friday evening (2 video cameras captured the action!)

We did a small pass from Stelvio into Switzerland the first afternoon, then stayed the first night at a hotel at the top of the pass itself. We then went up and down the north side 2 times on the Thursday morning before driving back down the pass from the previous day, into Switzerland, driving along beautiful scenic road which went through St Moritz on our way to Milan.

We then had a night in Milan, before going to Monza F1 circuit on Friday. There was F2 and GT cars taking part in free practice for the race at the weekend. That was a very pleasant surprise and really helped round off the whole trip.

We then caught the 17:20 flight back to Stansted.

An exceptional 3 days away, all my fellow travellers were thanking me for sorting it all out, telling me it was the best car related trip they had ever done. (that list includes several Ring trips as well)

Many thanks for posting your original write up, it was the whole basis for my planning the trip. It was also bloody good value too.

Cheers

Matt

Wow. Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it. Keep an eye on my website www.s2b2.net for more of the same. I'm itching to blab about next year's big trip but don't want the KBG to find out :secret::eclipse:

Yep, will keep checking your site for more ideas.

I've already done the flying to the ring thing 3 times and a banger rally to Rome but have been researching either a 3 day Route Napoleon trip (flying into Nice and renting) or a trip to the Evo triangle in our own cars.

Decisions, decisions!
