I've been saying for years Id like to do a trip along the lines of this trip. It would be good if someone here could join me... :ok: |
Always said I'd do one of these one day. Maybe when the kids are slightly older!
|
I think I would struggle to justify £1480 to the missus.
It's hard enough justifying the £200 ;) the Ring Trip costs....... Maybe when I'm old and grey.........I'm half way there........ |

No one ??
Granby this would be so up your street..:doubleup: |
Looks pretty awesome! Any money I have this year however is going into the Nurburgring trip, any money after the trip is going towards the credit card...!
|
It must be easy to set up one for less. Decide the definitive locations/ roads you want to visit, fund some cheaper hotels in the vicinity... Hmm, may start doing some research to get an idea of costs.
I will not be able to do anything for 2015 due to other commitments, but could consider for the future possibly as an alternative to the Ring trip (but including as part of the trip :) ) |

Does look like a brilliant trip but not this year |

Look at the rico rally vids on youtube.. Not sure about Stelvio as yet, (the owner of the site is getting back to me, could be a personal detour) but I have herd it gets so busy especially with cyclists that it gets spoilt and that there are other passes equally as as good but not so well known. |
A Subaru is confirmed for this - Is this you Ian? :)

It does look like another good trip though. Anyone fancy joining me? http://ricorally.co.uk/september2015/ It would good to have another scoob or 3 joining me or even a GT3 Rs or how about a nice blue VW R32 or a very nice grey Vauxhall VXR8....:ok: |
Sorry my GT3 RS will be staying at home..............on the shelf along with my Aston Martin DBR9S.
O.K their only 1/18 models.....:) |
Looks fantastic Ian! If it wasn't for new windows, new kitchen and building work I would love to go on something like this. Can't wait to see the photos.

I dont think I saw his scoob at all last year..:getmecoat: |
Still looking at this I wonder how much it would cost for food and fuel on top of the price for the whole trip:whistle::whistle:

The old man has sent me a few pics of the cars and scenery whilst on his trip and all I can say is WOW! Looks truly amazing!!:drive:

There are some on Rico rally Facebook and 'E' seems to of photo bombed the funny blue one into most shots. |
Beautiful scenery in their facebook photos. At least the photos of E are nice shots with the scoob, rather than his more usual photobombing approach! ;)
