European convoy next year...

I've read a few threads on here about some of the great roads throughout europe and it's got me thinking. I've always fancied driving through some amazing mountainous scenery, just like the backdrops in 007 and Evo. The trouble is I've never driven in europe and don't know any decent areas to pass through or stay. Top of my checklist would be stunning mountains, like the Alps, but would be good to end up somewhere like Monte Carlo etc. Ideally I'd love to be part of a convey of others that know what they're doing and where we're going! This sort of thing will take time to organise so I'm mentioning it now. I'll post nearer the time too, but I'll be looking for as many as possible to join me and the girlfriend next year in a trek. Think you'll be up for it around next May? Ages away now, I know, but you know what it's like with planning holidays and time off etc. It would be great if we could have a massive PH convey all the way, stopping off for stella, pies and some sleep! I'm sure it would be a bloody good laugh. Who would be up for it then?...

Ted - you might be able to drum up some media interest about the site with bigger events like this. Would be a cool annual fixture. "Gumball rally" or some such?...

All these ideas sound ideal. All I meant before is we need an event name, not that it should be anything to do with the gumball etc. The trip to Monaco, for example, takes 3 days I've heard. Ideally there would be at least a day spent lazing around the final destination too. Something this distance will clearly mean a week off work.
