Yeah cool. Well, closer to the time, I can contact you to find your intinery and we can work from there. Hope I'm not stuck in Siberia for this one, lol. (It actually could happen though)
Hello guys,
This is me signing in to let you know unfortunately i won't be coming with you guys on this trip. Alex / Leon sorry guys would've love to meet up and go again with you esp after last time round but work and life has been so busy lately i won't make it for this one! Bummer!
The location looks even better than last!
Gutted to be honest but next time for sure.
Cheers
Ali
p.s. did you see some of them tunnels going through the mountains in one of the pictures!!
This is lookng more and more likely for me. I've just, apperently, booked a holiday for my misses, our boy, her parents and sister for a week which I am not going on.
So as long as nothing comes up with work I am a definate for this. So looking at the above I should be back in southampton at some point late sunday night yes?
J.
Yeah, should be back Sunday, (Monday morning for some of us) glad you'll be coming too. Never seen a Z4 being driven properly yet.
Come on everyone else, we can do better than 11 cars! Just look at the pics so far, is it worth missing out on?
Hehe, no worries Ali. Are you 100% your arm cant be twisted for this road trip though?
Love the signature pic btw! Where have I seen those cars before?
Hehe, no worries Ali. Are you 100% your arm cant be twisted for this road trip though?
Well there is a possibility that I may be able to tag along with the Mrs. Something that we have discussed doing for ages.
It is subject to cost and being able to move a family BBQ to the Monday.
That is if you could stand an oil burning A3 joining in, it is no slouch though.
So for a Diesel A3 what are we looking at, would £350 each all in be a reasonable guess.
My TomTom has the latest Western Europe Map loaded.
Any other Ladies going ? Not that Kate can't hold her own in the Company of all Males.

Guys.... you can put me down as a very strong maybe! Was talking to a mate yesterday about this trip and she's well up for it so she'll be my co-driver!
Am I too late for the deadline? Could one of you guys let me know what I'm going to need to sort out myself and what I'll be needing to take etc? Thanks muchly!

Good point, it's the 16th today. No you've not missed it.
Are we getting everything booked tonight then?
Not looking like I`m going to make this now...I`m still trying but as its `d`day today so to speak I thought I best let you know where I`m at-just a little tight on disposable cash with the holiday etc coming up...will keep an eye on the thread and see if there is any other billy no mates like me lol that are\were going it alone closer the time, to maybe go halfs etc...
Same as Wes above, haven't been able to get a yes / no from my co-driver and disposable cash is pretty low (read none lol) at the minute, i'll keep an eye on the thread though and if I can make it I will come along.
Will do The deadline is just the last point at which we will change the route, you can decide to come a day before we leave so long as you can arrange a couple of hotels and the eurotunnel
Today I've never been so excited about booking a hotel and train ticket! It's barmy!
Any news? My credit card's getting impatient.
Few links that might help with some of the stuff people need for this trip:
https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/home.do - Free EU Healthcare, don't go to Europe without one!
http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/ - Best places to get EUROS from, I am personally waiting until a week or so before we go to buy them, just to wait and see if the rate gets any better.
http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/Financial_Services/The_Audi_Card.html - Mine arrived today, 0% transaction fee for using it abroad, will be useful for fuel purchases. (Already mentioned in this thread)
Another good card is the Abbey ZERO (http://www.abbey.co.uk) is essentialy the same as the Audi one...
http://www.kayak.co.uk is a good hotel search site, will compare the prices with Expedia as well, just tick the box!
Been looking for some Eurostar coupons / group booking discounts / cash back offers etc, but not much available. If anyone finds any good deals on this sort of stuff, please post it!

Booked! And it was only £77 with the early booking discount.
I can't get in here, no rooms left. Has anyone actually booked into there yet or do we all need a different hotel?
Got my ticket rearranged for 8:50 departure on the Friday and 22:42 return on the Sunday.
Thanks mate! I'll let you know by tonight what I'm doing for sure. Chances are I'll be coming
Just booked this myself, think it's full for the Friday night now though, as it's showing as unavailable on the online booking.Booked! And it was only £77 with the early booking discount.
Got the same eurotunnel shuttles as you mitch, just need to sort out the hotels...
