Commander Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Sorry, don't think we did - to be honest when you get in-country there are so many routes to drive and places to see its impossible to do it all on one visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Sounds a great trip, good write up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Excelent post... The Swiss passes are excelent, Grimsel and Middle Furka more so, no no, all of them... The old St Gothards with the cobbles and bad surface is good for a laugh (and squeaky bum moments)... Seeing that mix of supercars on display is just one of the great things Eurotrip can bring up, things like that makes the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Brilliant write up, really enjoyed the read. I see your in Bracknell , I'm just down the A30 in Camberley We are hoping to do something like this in August this year. Trying to work in the Belgium F1 at spa too (August bank holiday weekend) Do you have any plans for your trip this year yet? Thanks for taking the time to post, made me think I just need to book the train etc and go for it Mark Ps I used to have an SMG2 M3.

Humpy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That was a cracking read and some great pictures to boot. Think i need to out this on a list of things to do Did the RX-8 owner enjoy the trip with the problems he was experiencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake4136 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This looks brilliant! Really makes me want to do a Europe trip this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks chaps - it was a brilliant trip. This year we're planning on doing something slightly different - car ferry to Bilbao, east to Barcalona, North through the Pyrenees, east along the south coast of France, through Monaco, through the alps up to Germany, then Autobahns and Black Forest up to Nurbergring / Spa before heading home via the train. This year, the RX8 driver will have a working car (he still enjoyed last year, but not to its full potential), the Elise will be upgraded to a Supercharged Evora, my Zed will have a few small upgrades (hfc, k&n panel filters, remap, brakes), and we might bring another car or two along as well. To anybody 'thinking' about it - just do it. Book some time off work, go on google maps, find all the wiggly roads you can, and get over there. Excellent driving, scenery, food, people, you name it... There are loads of Zeds around Reading and surrounding area it seems - I never manage to spot any out and about though! Wouldn't fancy breaking down where you did! lol - think I'll stick with my Jap reliability! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wow that does sound epic. Our plan at the moment is across to Amsterdam, couple of nights there, down to Brussels, couple of nights there (f1 in spa) then carry on down, but not sure where yet. I'm fairly limited on picking because the 350z is actually my mrs car, so it's one of those " 50/50" decisions...lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That looks like a lot of fun, ....goes to check diary to see what he's doing this summer...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Booking our spa tickets tonight ! Only plans so far are Amsterdam, down to Brussels and the to SPA for the f1, yet to plan anything else. All in the 350z of course 👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Erm, ok, I got one... Ebay a couple of folding bicycles or arrange a normal one through your hotel / B&B as you have just no idea how chocca Spa is... Serious, you cant get near it for miles and its gridlock... Try staying somewhere like Robertville (Malmedy is expensive and used by the teams), and cycle to the track, its ten miles thereabouts... The Ring will be busy as well a week either side as Spa is so close to it, you just get more track closures but its still worth the trip too as just stalking the parking lot to see the other cars on show and talking to other Ringers is a cool day as well... Oh and wet gear... Take wet gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
