Big Power Meet 2014, Vasteras, Sweden 3-5 July
Discussion
Once again for anyone interested.
Gareth, Gurmeet and I are planning a return trip such was the experience.
We only touched the surface of what was going on.
Essential equipment;
- Spare rear tyres
- Linelock
- 20L fuel container
- Engine Oil
- Gearing for 100mph+ cruising; autobahn's of course and Ill be impressed if you never get overtaken by the local Merc's, BMW's, Porsches etc. We were all left behind at times
- Sleeping bag
- GPS Satnav
- Walkie Talkies
I spent a total of £1200 for the week. That included ferry crossings to Denmark and the UK, plus toll bridges etc.
I think next time we will do it in 2 days each way. 3 was relaxing, but un-necessary, we did a mega 18hr run on the way back, which was a bit too hard core.
So plan will be travel tuesday AM 1st July 2014, overnight Tue PM, then Wed PM, arriving Vasteras for the meet Thursday AM about mid morning.
Overnight Thurs, Fri, Sat heading off Sunday morning some time for the return trip on the 6th.
Plan to arrive back in the UK on the Monday PM all going well.
Mods please sticky
Will probably look to book accommodation next month or so, just a deposit at this stage. We now know where to stay for optimal traffic movement.

Yeah old cars fit in better. But there are cars from all ages.
That being said, we flew past many of the older marque's toddling along at 40mph.
Maybe a pro touring make over with an overdrive trans?
I think "I will catch up with you guys at the hotel" would work out cheaper That being said, we flew past many of the older marque's toddling along at 40mph.
