This looks great, I did a few of the same stops for my honeymoon last September I am sure you will have a great time

I wasn't so fond of the Ferrari museum at Maranello; the display cars were not very well kept nor was the finish inside the recently refurbished museum very good (e.g. the lighting is a sh!t show)... The best part of that was turning up and leaving in a loud Maserati - I am sure you lot will enjoy that at least

My wife and I am still very much up for the Scandinavian road trip... Is that still happening in future years? I recall reading at some point that the idea had been indefinitely shelved due to some people not liking the idea of a summer holiday in a climate where it is not >30C

It'll be interesting to see how to work out the logistics of getting my car from Ireland to Northampton, then myself to Ireland the week after to then get back and to the airport and back again! But I'm up for the challenge

I am sure I will be able to assist.

Light aircraft, local airports (just check insurance)?

The Scandi trip is on the back burner, it really is a bit weather related. This year is a trial with the transport solution, it opens up a lot more possibilities.

Ah, thanks mate. Have been to Ireland before? You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.

Several times. I did very much. I was thinking more of a lift at the Northampton end of your trip, but I like your thinking.

Sounds like an awesome trip - enjoy

I love the idea of shipping a car out and may take a look at doing that myself sometime.

Scroll up

(That's not a euphemism, btw)

It troubles me that such deviant minds should follow the same sordid path. Well done, us! On the upside, those parts that have been sewn up have been done extremely well by a renowned tailor, a man from Cork, no less.

For those that are sitting on the fence, we potentially have a space available.

This trip is going to be epic, and we never go to the same place twice, so get in quick.

I am sure everyone on the previous trips will testify, it is a huge amount of fun from start to finish.

So so tempted, but work conspires against me, would even nail a trident to the old jalopy!

Sounds wonderful - We've done part of it, but driving down thru' Germany, Austria and Stelvio - would add a few of days tho' - and am seriously tempted to join in 'cept we have something booked for early October, including Nurburgring.
