Pistonheads Alpine tour...anyone going?

[J12MOC]

Well we just signed up for the Alpine South tour in September. Still a few places left. Any other Astons ?

Martyn, you and Mona are going to love it . Molly and I have been on North and South. You are a top driver , your car is fantastic , the whole tour is just the business . Hope to see you both well before you go regards Rob and Molly

There's a reason why there are places left, Martyn.

Be afraid...be VERY afraid...just not as afraid as you would be if Rob were there

Take no notice of that Jockers Martyn ! I thought all of PN's 2014 tours were virtually sold out. We were planning on doing the Norway trip but have agreed to something on a much bigger scale . Our aim is to join them on the American one in 2015.

Jockers, the American trip is about the same price as PN's other tours other than you need to pay for a a flight to San Francisco. On arrival you are supplied with the latest Corvette or similar then off you all go to places Death Valley , Las Vegas to name but a few. Remember fuel and food is much cheaper so you can offset the cost of the flight. For Molly and I the trip will be very different.

Not long back from there - some great roads - they love you taking pictures near Area 51

Please don't try and drive a Corvette the way you drive Pearl! I'd hate to see you doing an Italian Job balancing over the precipice in Death Valley

Thanks for the confidence booster Jockers. I'm sure it'll be brilliant.

Rob...the 2015 US tour sounds interesting

Where you going then Mikey?

Summer 2014 2 weeks in the Alps

I've got the bones of a South African and New Zealand tour as well

One of our fellow tourists on Alpine South just shared this video so I thought it would give you a taste of what to expect. It's not the conventional 'how fast we went' video but rather the things that held us up! Makes for a pleasant distraction on a dull day

The best Petrol Head Nirvana video ever. Molly and I had such a fantastic time. Anyone contemplating signing up? Just do it!

I know I posted the video in the first place but Rob & I just watched it again and really enjoyed it. Steve even got the music right on this one

Happy days
