Signing in from the Jersey contingent. We are bringing a '99 Diablo Roadster and Espada SIII. They are being serviced at present and trailered down; we are flying down and meeting the cars in Milan, and driving back. Full trip.

Hi Markylooby

Cheers

Anjum,
No problem. You're welcome to join us.
plan is... head to Stelvio/bormio to see what passes/routes are open, and then hotel booked overnight on the 12th, in Davos with secure car-park.
Not booked a hotel for 2nd night back 13th (looking somewhere around Nancy area), then head to Calais Eurotunnel on 14th.

Just so you're prepared, it's very unlikely ANY of the good stuff will be open

Hi everyone,
I'm filming a documentary about the passion of owners & fans of Lamborghini, specifically around the 50th anniversary. I'm going to be following the tour in May and would love to hear from anyone from the UK interested in telling their stories and sharing their passion for the marque, or who just want to explain what makes Lamborghini so much cooler than other Italian supercar / t-shirt / mouse matt / baseball cap manufacturers beginning with an 'F'!!!

If you're doing the tour in a Lambo as either a driver or passenger, or as a spectator/ follower and want to share your passion for the raging bull, I'd love to hear from you, email me at [e-mail]

Grazie

Hi!

For what it's worth everyone, The Lamborghini Club of Australia is doing a tour after the main 50th and Lamborghini family stuff. It starts in Bologna and ends in London.

You should still be able to book on that. I think David, the organiser, would be happy for others to join in... so long as he can still get hotel bookings. We did open it up to other clubs (Mark Jansen - outgoing president had chatted to various clubs around the world asking them to join in - not sure if the word got out properly).

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. (For those concerned about the cost, spare a thought for us downunder shipping ourselves and cars over there... not cheap but hey... when will you ever get another opportunity?... take it while you can). :-)

Cheers

What is the cost? I couldn't find it on that link.

Passes around Stelvio, etc.?
Most of the passes (Stelvio, Furka, Grimsel, Susten, Julier, Albula, Offen, San Bernardino, Petit St Bernard, Grand St Bernard, etc.) won't be open until June.

[Anjum]

Ahh! I get it now!

Anyway - good news - just been told that my car is in build - and I think I'm going to do a factory pick up! Can't wait.....

I have no idea whaat legal stuff I need to get fixed first - any ideas?

A quick note on factory pick up. If your insurance requires tracker fitted I do not think the factory fit them so you may invalidate theft until you get back to UK and have it fitted. That is what I was told when thinking of picking mine up at the factory.
