European trip including the Swiss alps.....

[55Fisher]

Did a European road trip down through France, into the alps and back again. Four days, 1,750 miles and huge fun. Looking to do it again early next year as soon as the snow melts and the mountain roads open again.

Just floating an idea out there but how many would be interested? Depending on numbers could do longer and go into Italy too or some could join later for a shorter trip. Really is such a great place to drive.

So.....?

Morning

My brother and I have been considering another road rally, we've done the Cannonball etc.

So we might be interested.

Cheers

Great news.

Most of the cars down there are British and doing exactly the same thing. Hardly saw evidence of speed cameras and some of the roads are truly amazing.

Sadly I did it in an A45 but now I'm back to an M car the rear wheel drive shall undoubtedly change the experience!

The cannonball must have been an experience too. Where was that?

We are looking at doing this next June (Brussels, Luxembourg, france, Switzerland, Italy). We will be in the OH's diesel though unfortunately so likely wrong time/wrong car but any recommendations on the way would be great

Sounds like a good trip. To be honest it doesn't matter what car you do it in given the drops in places and any car shall get to dangerous speeds! For me it was about the scenery and roads.

You must do the Gottard Pass and Susten Pass. They are linked with the San Bernardino Pass too so do that also. If you do you are only a few miles from Italy so lake como isn't far either.

Welcome along as it shall be May/June time anyway...
