Maserati Centenary Trip

[allandwf]

I'm easy, if I dont do the twistys going will do them on the way home, I did assume we would sort of break into small groups , and possibly all meet up again overnight?

 

[conaero]

Probably need to split as well though, Roger, or we'll spend all our time waiting for each other to fill up.

The plan is to have a different hotel for the Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed and suggest various routes then leave you to it.

If groups want to form then fine.

As long as we all make it to each hotel, that will work well and everyone is free to drive at their own pace.

I am planning to take the twistys on the way down then a direct route home.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Is there a concensus on the departure date from UK? I think a number are heading down from Goodwood on Sunday, is that right?

 

[conaero]

Yes Adam. We are talking to Goodwood to try and get on the track and have a bit of press.

Sunday, Dover, then Mon, Tues and Wed stay enroute.

This also has the benefit that members can leave on different days and just drive hard and catch up.

 

[midlifecrisis]

My vote would be for a common departure, possibly Goodwood, for the ferry, then choose your route for a common hotel meet up for night stops.

Sounds like an eminently sensible scheme.

[roger102]

I think some of us are leaving Tuesday. I'll book my chunnel ticket and meet up with whoever at Tuesday nights RV point

god yes otherwise we'd never get out to the petrol stations

[Felonious Crud]

OK. Still not sure where I'll leave from, or when - could be UK early in the week or Netherlands on Weds. I'll catch up with you all somewhere, somehow. Perhaps via Germany if I need to get a move on.

 

[CatmanV2]

We're planning to leave on Tuesday, which I thought was the overall plan, but we're easy.
Will becoming back the slow way

[Roger]

I like the idea of leaving from Goodwood on the Sunday & taking in the twisty bits on the way down & the direct route on the way back.

I've booked two weeks off regardless so happy to go with the flow.

Still waiting until I have found a new car for the trip...otherwise its a return flight.

Any news on the routes Frank, would like to start looking at hotel stops etc

I have produced various routes and will get them loaded on as google links. Im not sure if everyone wants to do the Swiss / Italian Passes, but ive included the ones I think are the better ones and are on route. I am trying to get it reasonably direct.

Just finishing them of and will get together with Newton and then get them on.

If anyone has a particular suggestion or don't want to do some twistys let me know.

[allandwf]

Looking to leave up here 14th, then o/night 14th, possibly also 15th, then leave UK on the 16th. Anyone be o/night 15th near ferry and leaving morning of the 16th? Starting to try and get organised and booked now.

 

[roger102]

yes leaving on the 16th via chunnel waiting for the overnight stops to be confirmed so I know what time to book the train

 

[2b1ask1]

Routes = work in progress, thanks to those sending PM assistance/suggestions

 

[Blondie]

I vote to do the passes then a direct route home. Have to be in Oz for a wedding a few days later. Looking forward to it (Modena that is, not the flight )
