European road trip ??
 

Anyone fancy doing this??

Wow would need to start saving for a once in a lifetime drive of some of the best roads in the world .

You know that means leaving the Hastings area Ian?;-):five:

Yes and I will not be staying with the YHA. :lol:

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........

Well am already there, it is on my bucket list..:nod:

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 :) )

agreed. Also the stelvio pass would need to be in the trip which I don't think is on this one. The rest looks great though

Are there tunnels :grin:

Does look like a brilliant trip but not this year

Defo tunnels.

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? :)

No it is not me, as the trip I am going on is on September 13th to the 19th.

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'm sure stiggy will tag along with you as he would be too scared to get his scoob dirty :lol:

Buying the house after getting the flat sorted is going to pretty well clean jo and my wallets out this year, so probably out of the question unfortunately.

Has he still got it ???:whistle:

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:

PM'd :doubleup:

This is the current list of cars going :doubleup:

Looks brilliant. Definitely a worthwhile experience. Hope you love it mate.

Got to do something in Europe this summer. I can see the ferry leaving from my apartment in Newhaven...frustrating!

The Rico Rally (myself and 29 others) will be leaving the Holiday Inn (Ashford Central) Canterbury Road. TN24 8QQ at 08.00 this coming Sunday..

I see there is an F12 on the list.......one of my current favourite cars8-)

Have a cracking time Ian! Stay safe!

Cheers for all the good wishes.
The reason for me posting this up was because Tim and Dave H said they might pop up to see the rest of the group off on our travels. There are quite a few nice motors going which includes several high end vehicles.:doubleup:

Have a great trip Ian and hope it all goes well :ok:

Hi Ian, hope you have a great trip.As said before,stay safe.

Cheers, chaps.:doubleup:

Have a good trip mate and take it easy on the twisty bit's.

I'm looking forward to the photo's and the debrief.

Have an awesome time Ian, I am pretty sure it's going to be an incredible experience and quite a week!

Look forward to the stories and the pictures, get plenty of snaps! You taking a Go-Pro or similar too? (do you know how to use them if you are... I have seen you with a Sat-Nav...!)

Cheers Scott will need Ollys help sorting out the vids I expect..:nod:

Cheers Rob, Im a wizzz with the old sat nav now :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:
Poss SES trip next year????

Me too. It does look epic and pictures so far look like the weather has stayed clear.
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! ;)

No rear end shots then? :whistle:

Scenery looks awesome :more:

What is it with you and rear ends :nono:

I know im starting to worry about him:lol::lol:

Just had a text from Ian saying I've got to get my name down for next year as he's lost count of the tunnels he's been through, not sure what he means ;)

Don't worry about me, It's only a faze that I'm going through at the moment. ...so I have been told? :hurrah: :sos: :tequila:

Well we are back safe and sound the 3 of us me Christine and the 1 that didnt miss a beat.

All I can say is wow wow wow fantastic bloody BRILLIANT.

When Ive time I will post up some vids, here is a little taster.
