Hello everyone, I've been pointed to this thread by a good friend of mine and I thought I'd register :-)

Is it too late to ask for the email with the routes and possibly join the fun?

I'm a big fan of our passes and this seems a great occasion to meet cool people eheheh
Besides, my German basically _sucks_ so any occasion to speak English instead is indeed welcome.


If I'm too late or a "no strangers" policy is in effect, there's always next year ;-)
Welcome Roberto! I'm sure Pete (Krallicious) will see this and send you the necessary info redface)

I'll start a voting list.

Route 1

Route 2

Susten will be not be completely openbut we can work a wa around that small problem I think.
Pete, as others have said, I'm easy when it comes to the route- the company, cars and scenery are what it's all about! As long as we don't finish up a long way away from the meeting point, so I can drive home at the end of the day!

Really looking forward to it (as usual!)

I still haven't received an email with the routes. Pete - did you try resending? If yes then perhaps your emails are being blocked. Coud someone on the list that has received the routes send them to me by PM?

I have sent it twice now...... Hmm. I'll try from another email account that I have and see if that works.

Just a thought - is the closing of the Gotthard rail tunnel / lots more traffic on the road going to make the pass busy? Anyone done it recently?

Just wanted to drop a quick email. After my car was in for repairs (Supercharger failure) I am now back on track and picked my car up. Looking forward to Saturday! Hope the weather is good and will be nice to see the lot of you again (it's been two years for me!).

Cheers Phil

There will probably be more traffic (especially lorries) on the motorway and some car drivers may decide to take the pass instead of the tunnel.
Three days ago the government said that there hasn't been a particular increase in traffic.


That said, I don't think it's going to make that much of a difference.
That's going to be _us_ trying to park fifteen cars in the same place driving

Thanks - much appreciated. I'm car-less at the moment and the friend I've been trying to convince to come with his M5 would prefer to head down to the Med this weekend frown

FYI I've sent the route to Schnellmann and he's received it.

Both options look good to me, haven't done the second half of either yet.

I'll be alone if anyone wants to use the passenger seat!

Thanks for forwarding the route. I also have a free passenger seat if you find yourself at a loose end on Saturday!

Looks like I'll have to pull out of attending - I have to be over in St. Gallen Friday and Sat now. Look forward to seeing some photos. Have fun!
