Oh I need to decide which Fiat. The Coupe, the 125 Special or the Argenta 120ie ..?

My word, life must be hard!

Gimmo's home -> Berlin -> Goteborg ( ) -> Alesund
2500 km.

Not bad.

Hoping to find a new job in Germany, UK or Sweden to have less km to drive

Hang on Gimmo, you're a couple of hundred km nearer than me!

Me and Lara are seriously considering to have holiday in North Europe.
I want to come at the meeting, she wants to visit St Petersburg.

This year we were in Paris (for her) than in Spa (for me)

Finger crossed that can repeat the Coupe'Trip next year!

I love to travel, but the distance is a lot for me

We must create a meeting near Munich, it is quite in the centre of Europe.
Or a the Nurburgring, and rent all the track for us

That is a good idea, Gimmo

Is there any member of the German FC Club present here?

2,500klm Gimmo! are you sure?

Alesund has a fantastic aquarium built into the costal land. Highly recommend it!

Trying to justify this...
Newcastle to Norway ferry..
Harwich to holland ferry...
Dover to France...no chance

Check yourself -> click

It seems to be very expensive, more than 600euros only for the travel, sob..

If it will not be Alesund, it will be Spa
Or stay some days in German all together, to visit Castles and go at Hockenheim

We will have to go and check out the Atlantic Ocean road

You are tempting me, Bob

But what the hell: Convoy!

No sacrifice, no glory.

All those years of protecting my car from salt.... ruined in an instant

Some interesting ideas on these sites;

Nordic national tourist routes

Tourist Routes

I have a better idea



Seriously, it could be an EPIC trip, with a Coop convoy of unbreakable coopers!
I need to make some calculus, to know how much does the trip cost.

I am tempted, given the incredible Turin trip - which must rank with the top couple of things I've ever done (yes dull life perhaps).

Have been to Norway fairly recently, and going again in May, so could be hard to justfiy....

Hmmmmmmmmmm. The roads do look stunning though.

I'm currently weighing up the pros and cons of either (a) channel tunnel and 300km extra driving or (b) Harwich-Rotterdam ferry, cabin on the way back (overnight).

Price is about the same on both, perhaps a bit cheaper on the ferry, and keeps the (limited) miles down on the coupe.

Looks to be about £180 return from Harwich to Hook of Holland.... but then it is another 22hour drive to Alesund......

Crikey !

Perhaps we could all charter a C130 and airlift our Coupe's over there ?

Sob.. lot of money...
I don't know if I can come to Norway from Italy.

When the deadline is?

Just requested a booking for four nights in Alesund - Thursday to Sunday night. No idea about the rest of the trip yet...

The good news is that I'll be booking the Coupé in for work listed above very soon. I've made progress on a few little jobs I wanted to do first so now I just have to find time.

The bad news is that we've also had to book a trip to the USA in June. Mrs BB wants to visit her mums sister who hasn't been too well recently. Because of the distance we've decided to stay for a few weeks, booked a car and plan to visit some sights - on a USA road trip.

This was totally unforseen and is having a bit of an impact upon our finances. Whilst we are still hoping to make Norway too there is a slight possibility that we may have to pull out

I do wish to stress it is only a slight possibility. We have made plans to visit several friends in Germany & Holland en-route to Norway and have also booked some elements of the trip.

Bob

Be a shame if you can't, Bob... at the moment it looks like it's just you and me from the UK!

At this moment in time I can't truely commit to this trip. As much as we want to visit Norway this will be a trip which will remain on our radar. Possibly in two months from now I should be able to say Ja or Nei to this adventure.

I think our compromises will have to be sacrificing the extra week we were going to spend in Norway and taking the less scenic route

We've already booked the four days in Alesund so I guess we will take the quicker route to get there. We do have a stop planned in Hamburg on the outbound and Hanover on the return but will probably need two further waypoints in Norway (Perhaps Lillehammer on the way up and Oslo on the way back?).

Neil,

I am aware of one other UK owner who was committed to attending the event but they have not posted on this thread thus far.

Unfortunately we won't attend to this meeting.
The reason for it being that I can't take off any leave during this period.
For those who will attend have a lovely time in this stunning surrounding.

Oh noes... looks like we're down to only a couple from FCCUK then.

Never mind Pieter, we'll send you some pictures!
