ianmcintoshi Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Ta! The Alps are indeed epic, and the corners are all 100% win...or 100% LOSE (you'd get about 30sec to think about what you did wrong at the last hairpin as you fall off the mountain side!)LOL this is very true... We ended up driving down the stelvio pass in the pitch black!!! worst idea ever lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianmcintoshi Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Amazing mate. Tell us how you planned it all and any problems you encountered. Don't be afraid to go into detail, will be appreciated.It was my mate that planned most of it ( he had done something similar before ) We planed a route before we left hitting all the places we wanted, and using google maps to give us an indication of the length of drive each day. We then pre-booked all the hotels. That way we knew exactly where we were sleeping each night and didnt have any crap running around trying to find hotels in foreign places. It also meant all accommodation was payed for months before the trip and we didnt need to have extra cash for this, also pre-booked the euro tunnel to make sure all the cars got on the same train. Everything else we just payed as we went, ie nurburgring, stadium tours...Most of the time hit supermarkets for food to help keep costs down, did go to a few restaurants and stuff tho which was nice Before we left i fully serviced the glanza to make sure she was ready for the miles, oil change, fuel filter, brake pads all round, spark plugs and HT leads, changed all the fluids even bought her a nice new apexi air filter Bought the stuff for driving in Europe ie headlight beam deflectors, GB sticker, triangle and high vis jacket. Made sure Insurance was covered, and got European breakdown cover. My mate took lots of tools and some spare parts so any problem could hopefully be fixed road side. We also took walkie talkies to keep in contact on the road, came in very usefull at times.That was about it mate, Did take quite a bit of planning but we just sat down over a few beers and got it done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
