Well, it would be rude not to...
1. Rosso 2. Barnacle 3. DaveG
What could possibly go wrong? Well, last time it was arriving at Dover with one wrong passport, breaking down and abandoning the Coupe at the St Bernard Pass, paying a small fortune to get the Coupe recovered back to Turin, and having an accident on the way back in Antwerp...but highlights were the 2 days in Turin and Parco Valentino, plus visits to Fiat Centro Storico, the National Automobile Museum, pininfarina and the Heritage Hub (all in Turin) and the Abarth Museum in Belgium...

Me too ![rolleyes rolleyes](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) Driveshaft decided to eat itself in Germany. None available in Europe so was stuck for 2 days while a spare was sent over. Managed to get there Saturday night and had to head back on Sunday afternoon after the dinner as I had to catch the ferry from Amsterdam on Monday. Good blast back though ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

I didn't want to be the oldest one there, but now I see Neil is going... ![chinny chinny](/forum/images/graemlins/default/scratchchin.gif) Cheeky bugger. Those grey hairs are experience, authority, and wisdom. At least mine are. Yours are probably just old age. ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) Neil

I'm sure in our younger years we would have seen this as a challenge arriving at the bar in Bern exhausted but happy, but now being of a more mature age I'm sure we'd all prefer an enjoyable ride down with an extra night to take in the sites and of course stopping for a spot of lunch I'm very much supporting this philosophy ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) Brian, we may even have a choice of Rosyth-Zeebrugge by then, that reduces the European driving leg by about 100km/1 hr but seem to remember it was an expensive fare back in the day. Atm Hull-Rotterdam is cheaper than NCL-IJmuiden and 100km less driving over there as well though more in the UK. Early days yet but do folk have their favoured accommodation points en route in Europe? I'm aware of showing an unhealthy increasing interest in this trip ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)

I found French motorways the easiest way to go if you don’t have a great deal of time for your overall trip. Stopped at Metz when going to Rome via Switzerland, and Dijon is a great overnight stop before crossing into Italy when headed for Turin. With an Emovis tag in your windscreen you dont even need to stop at the toll plazas.
