would love too, dependant on costs and organsation. is there a certain age you have to be to drive in europe? iv never known...

I would be interested in a Euro tour. I took a big Euro trip this summer and would love to visit Turin again

I am already looking to attend SPA Italia 2008, as is Petep, and John (fastjjs) is thinking of hosting a bit of a Coupé doo in Holland arround that time too

It would be nice to go to Holland before doing SPA and then heading south France / Italy and if possible meet up with some of the French and Italian Coupe club members too.

I will start a New Thread in the Euro events area to cater for a possible Euro trip

easier to get to holland from harwich port which is a little easier to get to than dover for the northern boys and not to bad from southern guys but a bitch if you live in devon or wales

Note that this thread is now for people wishing to express interest in the UK road trip only (title has changed too).

UK one first for me.

Depending how the UK one turns out I may be interested in a Euro trip the year after.

Yes I'm interested...

I'd prefer a small euro trip but a couple of days around the UK would be good too.

i would be interested in this aswell as the eurotrip that i have put my name down for!

Try this!
Been, seen and goin' agin'.

hell why not, obviously depending on dates.

still on guys how about a little run to the sun kinda thing and back?

Sorry guys, you can definitely count me out of this one

sounds good CD, but 93,000,000 miles is a long way

At least the aircon cars would have an advantage or are we going at night?

I would be interested in a UK road trip, i know some cracking roads in north somerset!

amen to that...

This is what owning a coupe is all about.Yes i will come and yes whatever date i will put this first!!!!

Don't mean to sound unnecessarily negative, but I'd say that unless things have changed drastically, the chances of a Euro trip actually happening are very slim. I've been here long enough to remember several different Euro trip suggestions/plans and none have ever happened, because on the day where you start writing down how much it will cost, everyone suddenly has something else crop up which means that they can't make it now. That was the key reason I suggested a UK trip to start with. I'd love a trip down to the South of France then up through the Alps, etc, but do some sums and see who's still up for it then.

I think one of the good aspects of a UK trip might be that people can dip in and out for shorter periods if they want to, e.g. join for a couple of days. This would help if costs were an issue, and also if leave from work is tight.

I like that idea Cappo, almost have it like a series of mini-meets where the main contingent tour around going to the different coupé hotspots (Durham excluded for obvious reasons )

Nice idea!

I checked with the girlfriend today, there was abit of umming and arring but shes warmed to the idea.

She suddenly appreciated the fact that i dont own a bike and go swanning off for weeks on end with the lads

Good suggestion Cappo. I think we'll need a good 15-20 bods throughout to make the hotels etc cheaper, if we get more in certain places then thats a bonus.

Im up for this with both coops but would have to be....beyond doubt, during the 6 weeks school holidays.

I totally agree with Cappo. Euro roadtrips have been discussed every year for the past 5 years or so and it never happened. It would be great if it would happen at some point, but I seriously doubt it.

As for the UK road trip. I could be interested in this as well! I've done several trips to the UK in the past years and have always loved it. I'll definately keep an eye on this

I'm interested

I have an idea...

Clubcento a while ago done a south england to north scotland run. People joined along the way, and then on the way back down dropped off. Maybe something similar could be arranged?

Ross

but you guys in scotland would only go for a day, where people down south would be gone for days!

plus what do we want to go to scotland for!

Only joking, i'm sure scotland has lots of great roads!

As clarkson said "Im going to the UK's racetrack..... scotland!!"

Ross

Dont forget route planning is going to be a major nightmare and if this goes forward it may well be worth putting 2-3 people in charge of it.

Avoiding Motorways and major towns would be the biggest challenge.

And roads littered with speed cameras

Cappo had the same sort of idea a few posts above Ross, so could be a winner.

Definately need a few people doing route planning. We can call on the knowledge of those around the UK to suggest places, then take a look at how we can achieve it!
