Road Trip to Europe in September 09'
Discussion
To all ex Cannonballer's we are planning a road trip into Europe starting Sunday the 27th September through to Saturday 3rd October this year.
Out trip will tkae us through France into Germany, then onto Poland, down into Austria and then into Italy, coming back through France.
There are no fees payable for this trip, the idea is that we all just get on the same ferry and we all book the same hotels, we are not asking for your money just your company!
We were amongst the few that were ripped off last year by our dear friend Conrad?! but we still went on our own trip anyway, and had a great time
If this is your thing then feel free to contact me and i will give you further details of what we are planning
Feel free to contact me through this thread or call me on my mobile on 07926 755169.

Thanks for that is Conrad Wall anything to do with cannonball europe ?
He took a lot of people for a considerable amount of money and wasn't even man enough to face
any of us . We would join in cannonball europe but a lot of us are nervous about parting with
money upfront hence we don't want anybody who joins us to part with any money.

No he isn't...thank god!He nicked the idea AND the Cannonball name & concept. He wasn't an ethical guy! The Cannonball Run Europe has run 8 successfull events over the past 7 years, have much repeat customers because they know we're tried, tested & reliable.
Contracts have been signed with 5 star/5 star deluxe hotels across Europe, 80% deposits have been paid with those hotels. A world class track has been secured for the track day and 100% paid upfront and we're not about to go anywhere with your money.
If I havn't managed to reassure you then give Jan a call and I'm sure she will, but hurry because I know there are only a handfull of places left.

Are you hiring a track?
Im sorry i have a terrible problem thoughts come into my head but end up on screen. Have thought of cutting my hands off but probably not a good idea seeing as i like driving .

Waiting to see how many cars join us before we decide a track day . Last year we overnighted in Dijon,drove route Napolean into Cannes for 2 nights then Austria for 2 nights visiting Hitlers Eagles Lair then 2 nights in France vising the Maginot line fortifications.It was a mixture of fast roads ,country roads and stunning scenery.We are not trying to compete with the big rallies costing many thousands just about 10 cars driving through Europe first heading through Germany to Poland visiting A concentration camp then onto Austria and then onto the Stavio Pass in Italy.
Only 4 so far but plenty of time yet, probably cost about £2.500 with fuel hotels food ferry and admissions but this is all down to how thirsty your car is and what standard hotels everyone wants .5 star are nice but you can still get good 3/4 star hotels at half the price.i am away for the next two weeks so will catch up when i get back regards john
Hey Guys,
Me a a couple of friends would be most def up for comming along. I was thinking about bringing along a Lotus Elise or my current car MR2. Have you got an idea no numbers yet? Also has the route been carefully mapped out to take in some of the best twisty roads? lastly have you guys got an idea of total milleage and budget?
Cheers
Wayne
This sounds interesting especially seeing there isnt some corporate behind it who simply multiplies the cost by 2 before billing.
What cars have you got so far?
Poland sounds interesting as well - any security issues? (heading further East there are lots of car jackings etc)
Is there a contact email?
