Now that we're 2019 and that much closer to our Turin road trip it raises the question for planning, the duration, where we stay and how we get there. I'm hoping Giorgio will update us with hotel details for Turin, this and the program so assuming the anniversary meeting is the two days 22nd-23rd June I was looking at travelling over early on 20th for a night in Switzerland, Friday arrive in Turin, enjoy the weekend and reverse it so I'd travel back to the UK on the Tuesday afternoon, if that sounds right let me know so I get an idea of how many rooms to book for both sides of the journey.

That sounds good to me Joe- none of my family are able to attend so it’s just me room wise
Doris the 1998 Portofino Blue 20V and Zoe the 1999 Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Bog standard needn't be boring...

Hi Joe Very interested in joining you for this road trip especially if it includes an "Italian Job" style drive over the Alps. Tunnels are so boring (And expensive) Dave A route over the Alps would be awesome, what roads to you take when you drove down for the 20th?

Boys, Coupé owners ....... finally we on Friday January 25th we will have meeting with event organizers. Then we will have answers to everything. Meanwhile, we have found 3 hotels for you and will provide you with more precise information. Even how many fiat coupes can participate. We are working for you Thanks Giorgio, ideally hotel accommodation for 3x nights from the Friday.

I need to run something past your guys, driving times from Dunkirk to Bern Switzerland is 8+hrs, that's the road time Europe side so doesn't include the Ferry crossing from the uk, too much for one day, thoughts? It’s certainly a very long day. Question is, where do we stop otherwise?

From experience - much nicer to stay eu side somewhere and have a quality beer to two in a new place- then to spend the night before uk side near a ferry terminal.
But obviously it adds another night (or two) to the travel...
regards Totally agree, driving in Europe is so much nicer then the UK roads and traffic. I'm happy to go the extra night if everyone is, means a possible extra night on the return leg of the journey as well.

Still looking to get to this one. This trip was just going to be me and my film maker but I can't leave Trish at home, the dates straddle our wedding anniversary! The Coupé needs loads of work doing too - got most of the parts just need to get the enthusiasm to fit them and then get other work booked in! And finally I have to try and convince myself I want to drive the Coupé that far again. Since Norway I've not gone further than 200 miles in any one trip! I have even looked into sticking a tow bar on the Audi and taking the Coupé on a trailer ![shocked shocked](/forum/images/graemlins/default/shocked.gif)
Gone Audi mad!

Extra night each way is fine for me. I would drive down from Leicester and stop overnight in Dover before we headed across the channel regardless as it is 5-6hrs from my location.
