I have been speaking to Pieter (Alesi) and also Bjørn from Norway about an event planned for July 2015. Bjørn has told me that the Norwegian fiat register have put together an event in Ålesund and that people from across Europe are invited. I don't have too many details just yet but this would be an epic road trip. Turin was, depending on your route and start point, somewhere in the region of 2000 miles round trip. Just getting to Ålesund would be in the region of 1500 miles, one way ![shocked shocked](/forum/images/graemlins/default/shocked.gif) That said there seem to be many interesting route options and we would take advantage of some friends in Hanover and Hamburg to help break up our journey. So, me and Mrs BB are making our plans to be there with the Coupé and we do know of at least one other UK based owner already looking to attend. Anyone else interested?

Googlemaps shows 1451 miles to get there for me and 27 hours on route. 2hrs 10 minutes flight non stop twice a week otherwise about 9 hours via Oslo.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

2150 kilometers which is 1336 miles ![rolleyes rolleyes](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) Sounds great ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) We had to cover 1700 kilometers to get to Torino which is 1056 miles. 450 kilometers further does not scare me ![driving driving](/forum/images/graemlins/default/driving.gif) I have to talk to my Coupes and see what they think about it ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) If any of them volunteers and promises not to make any surprises for the next 5000 kilometers then I think we can go ![snowman snowman](/forum/images/graemlins/default/snowman.gif)

"Welcome, good Sirs! My name is Thomas,I'll be your Trollstigen guide" ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) It looks like Trollstigen pass will have to be part of my journey as will Sju Systre. It is going to be fun planning a route through Norway, it looks interesting to say the least ![cool cool](/forum/images/graemlins/default/cool.gif) Per - Some really nice pictures there ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

Ooo I'd love some track time! ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) There are a few norwegian racetracks I've never attended. With a decent amount of Coupe's it should be possible?

I've sought permission from the event organisers to place further details of the event on FCCUK. To avoid having event details half way through a thread I placed them at the top of a new thread.
As will be seen there is an option for the possibility of some track time for those who are interested.

To my great surprise, it seems that you can get there without getting your feet wet: under the tunnel, turn left, turn left at Hamburg, hang a right for Copenhagen, cross the bridge to Malmo (watching for chopped-in-half bodies), then turn left up the coast. Stop at Gothenburg to see the Viking museum, and then into Norway and Ålesund.
A mere 1616 miles.
Of course, Anita wants to see some midnight sun, so that's another five hundred miles north...

If you do take that route consider registering for a bridge pass. Pre-booking would save having to deal with the toll booth (rfid tag) and saves a few bob over paying on the day too.

Thanks Bob. Nothing's finalised, of course!

Norway do not have road tolls, but indeed congestion charges in the centre of Oslo. And speed cameras! However past any populated area they are scarce too. Gothenburg, Sweden, though, has road tolls! As the only place in Sweden. I hate this city. ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

I feel I have to pipe in here.
We have road tolls. It's apparently the only way we can afford to build new roads/bridges/tunnels. (Oh, the irony) Some are cheap (£1-2), some are not so cheap (£15++). They can also be found all over the country.
We also have speed cameras, both for spot checks, but also for checking the speeds over a given distance.
If you want a quick trip from the Oslo-area to the Ålesund-area, then going up along the swedish border and over the mountains is the best bet. This way may be a little bit boring though. (E6 and E136 routes)
If you want the scenic route, try the Haukelifjell or Hardangervidda to Haugesund/Bergen, and then go up along the coast to Ålesund. (E39 route) This is a fair bit longer, the roads are most likely more crap, but the scenery is probably the best you can experience.

Indeed Neil,
I now have a six speed gearbox that needs fitting as well as a Cam belt that needs replacing and I suspect a manifold too.
Not too sure whether to get someone else to do it, or have a go myself. If only I had access to a two post ramp.
