may have 'missed the boat' on this, but new around here and this sounds like a trip i'd be interested in.
i'd be interested in going back to the ring if thats part of the trip? could someone point me in the right direction for more info ?
Audi Factory Tour / Euro Road Trip Update
You haven't missed the boat on the trip but getting a boat across at the same time may be a bit of an issue now.
Schedule is;
Day 1 (Sunday)
drive to Nurburgring (300 miles) from various landing points in Europe, lunch and a lap or two round track. Freshen up, stay near the ring first night
Day 2 (Monday)
Early Drive drive down to Ingolstadt / Neckarsulm (300 miles) Tour round factory in the afternoon, stay in B&B just outside Audi
Day 3 (Tuesday)
Drive down to and stay at Davos (233 miles) Davos via Stelvio Via Bormio, play on Stelvio pass for a while, stay in Davos overnight
Day 4 (Wednesday)
Second go at Stelvio, take in views, pics, drive down to and stay near Lake Garda (203 miles)
Day 5 (Thursday)
Lake Garda to Lake Como up to St. Moritz and finish up in Zurich. (203 miles)
Day 6 (Friday)
Zurich back to the coast with Zurch being the point where we break convoy; duty free shopping, back to Blighty.
Caldy, Jonny and I are getting the DFDS from Shields on May 29th so best check availability. kr, mac4RS and pad125 are getting the chunnel or ferry from elsewhere IIRC and then we all meet at the Ring on Sunday.

Noted and booking will be confirmed tomorrow.kr wrote:Same here please , Mountains and Lakesmac4RS wrote:Mountains & Lakes everytime...There looks to be some great hotels outside Zurich so question is, do you want to see Zurcih and therefore stay in the city centre or would one taking in lake and mountain views be preferred?
As to our potential stragglers JohninSpain and magpie2K, speak up I can't hear you!
Sorry guys, my link to keep me informed of new post has stopped work. I'll be doing the tunnel so I'll jump in with the majority to keep it simple. Have I missed anything else? Do we need any monies up front Dave?kr wrote:mac4RS and pad125 are you two crossing in the Tunnel? if so what time for the crossing?
Was going to book a space for the morning of the Sunday 30th.

Nothing missed, still all going ahead. A few changes in the party though the list for the Ring and Factory tour is;
P_G
cadly
kr +1
mac4RS +1
pad125 +1
Unfortunately cadly has to leave us after the tour on Tuesday morning to get back to the Uk so thereonin there are 7 of us in 4 cars. All hotels are on the verge of being booked; fortunately only one has asked for a deposit, the one in Lake Garda, however we are getting a discount for that so I have paid for this on my card and all hotels know that each one of us will settle on arrival or departure. AS requested I have booked the final hotel just outside Zurich overlooking Lake Zurich and Mountains; details to follow by PM.
We are also being joined on the factory tour by the guy who is organising it for us, Stewart Miller and his partner IIRC (and Stewart we will be there on the Monday morning for 11am; is there an allocated car park there?).
There may also be one more to join us but waitng on confirmation of this. kr, you have PM.

Not sure TBH. Our ferry gets in to Holland at 9.30 so 10.30 by the time we get off the ferry and through customs and a 3 hour trip up to the Ring so ETA about 2pm? If you guys get there before us then fair enough, we can ring you when we are there and meet at the car park.
BTW has anyone walkie talkie's? Enough for 5 cars to converse?
