Might well be interested (along with my other half) as it seems to work in my diary. As a new(ish) member of the forum and a first timer for this sort of driving trip, it would be great to get some more details of what's included (and what's not).

I would say do it! (But I would)

To sum it up, it is a boozy couples based tour with fine dining and laughs all the way whilst exploiting your fine motor vehicle.

It’s not the lads based ‘Le Mans’ type rolling stag doo. It’s much more civilised than that.

It’s also reduced number this year from the usual 18 cars/36 guests to 12/24.

All great people and very welcoming of new blood and absolutely not ‘stuffy’ at all.

To add to that my fondest memory’s are the 3 Euro tours we have done so far:
Maserati Centenary
Viva Espana
Monaco or Bust

Zep who is the co-organiser of this trip cut his teeth on Monaco or Bust and has a very good eye for detail...adding in very clever day activities such as Portofino-speaking to the mayor and getting our cars all lined up on the town quay, Alfa Museum In Arese and probably his best effort, triple speedboats on Lake Como. I was James Bond that day! Absolutely E P I C

Just also like to add, the money you pay all goes into the trip and SportsMaserati don’t take any fees for it. Just to be transparent, Zep and I get the odd free hotel room that we negotiate for our efforts.

Kind words! :)

I have to agree on the speedboats, that was a totally awesome day!

The whole trip was awesome every day, perhaps not so much the journey home babysitting Benny in the loaner! But that said, he was trying to blow it up before Calais so we just let him act as bait for the Gendarmes!

Yeh, sorry all. I really want to come but several things have conspired to make it not possible. See you all at the Xmas doo. One love.

A real shame, I was looking forward to the sound of the FF and the laughs in the bar. We’ll get you on the next one!

Shame Athol, these trips are very, very special. You will be missed but your loss is Marks gain.

There may be one final place on the trailer that we can make available, do ask Zep.

Looks fantastic!

However I couldn't help but notice there's no stopping in Bologna!!?

We aren’t staying in Bologna, the idea of this trip is that we are visiting smaller villages, a hilltop tour.

We will almost certainly be visiting Belvedere di San Michele in Bosco which has a fantastic view of Bologna and is just off Via Emilia.
