I can't make it unfortunately, having said that I think my Evoque, or 125cc Yamaha scooter would struggle to keep up (unless Ken's Morgan is of the sidevalve engined pre-war variety)

[Whitean3]

I'm tentative at the moment- I think I'm not around on 25th, but we'll have to see. If I can make it, it will be in a B7 RS4 (like John, my 996 is also gone!)

[Snowlife]

It's all very quiet here!
Less than 2 weeks to go, has anyone worked out a route?
Where should we meet? I'm near Zurich Airport

[eyebeebe]

Ive got the outline of a plan on my head, but I've got one eye on the weather at the moment. I've already cancelled a trip to Stelvio this weekend because the weather is looking awful.

Basic idea is to meet in Koblenz early morning and do a big loop from there. I've never driven in the BF though, so if anyone with more experience has a better start point or has a specific route in mind, I'm all ears.

I'll send you a PM this afternoon with some suggestions but initially don't cross the border as a convoy, might be better to meet somewhere in D....

AFAIK
Route has been reviewed - but not yet confirmed
Weather was looking good - then OK - then acceptable - and now concerning. Accu says 69% chance of rain - with it saying "Shower and Thunderstorm around"

Thoughts?

Given you spoke to me 5 minutes ago about this, I would say yes that's a good summary!

Thank you to JMGS4 for the route, looks good. DK proposed some small alterations. Accuweather has a more optimistic view of the weather than Google. I propose to wait until tomorrow lunch and make a final decision, given how changeable the weather is at the moment.

My preference is for as early a start as possible, to have the roads as quiet as we can, but again weather dependent.

We are moving to Basel next year, so I will keep my eyes open for the 2017 dates.

[danzrh]

A friend and I would also be interested in joining. Could someone send me route and schedule? Am I right to assume that the route is so curvy that it would not be enjoyed by SWMBO as co-driver?

[Snowlife]

I'm still up for it if it's a bit wet.
Did we agree on a meeting point?
I haven't received anything (I know last time there we're emails flying around in the background)

[eyebeebe]

The weather looks like rain all day long on Saturday.

Personally, I would prefer the Exige not to come out in the rain. I propose to postpone until the weather gets better. Only problem is I'm booked up until September.

I've also looked at weather down in the Gotthard/Grimsel triangle and it doesn't look much better.

JMSG has very kindly produced a route, which DodgyKen has tweaked a little. Big thanks to both! If you want it, let me know either on here or by PM and I'll send it on.

If only we were going today!

[dodgyken]

As much as I like a good run out - and unlike the Exige the Morgan can cope with wet weather, I'd rather have a day out when the roof can come off an I don't get wet.

Come to think, it is a Morgan, it makes very difference to whether the roof is on or off when it rains

[Araantonak]

I'm out due to the weather.. not fond of driving my cars in the rain :/

[JMGS4]

Still hoping to make it but no e-mail as yet!

I'm still up for it too.
Who else is still coming?
Do we have a meeting point/time?
