Any roadtrips planned?

Hey All!

I don't know about you guys but I do love a good road trip. Last year a couple of friends and I drove from London to Lake Como, Italy via Luxembourg, Germany & Switzerland. 5 of us and 4 cars; my old BMW 420d, a Porsche Macan S, BMW M6 & Toyota GT86. It was a great experience (2 min video below if you want to see the trip).



So with the new car I do plan to do more euro road trips, I'm thinking to check out the Geneva motor show next year and another euro trip with the same bunch of guys I went last year but this time 3/4 cars are new

What about you guys, anything planned?

I've never been to Goodwood, but it's on my list for 2019. I really fancy doing a European road trip as well. After watching Joe Achilles' Petrolhead Tours videos it's given me the itch, big time!

Road trips 😍😍👍

Many many plans...

We have created a Whatsapp group of more than 30 M owners in Swiss and French surrounding regions and we already have some few ideas for 2019...

For the key ones:
- French Alsace, track coaching and wine testing early Apr
- M Fest France Magny-Cours end April
- Mountain passes South France road trip end July
- Italy legend Car & bike museums (Ferrari, Lambo, Moto Guzzi) date tbd
- Nürburgring open track days tbd
- Plus large monthly meeting every first Sunday of the month in Nyon for all sport & collection cars
... to start with

...group is growing fast 😱

Happy to answer MP for more details👍

Join us on the trip. Drop me a message and I will let you know when there is more planned.

Also make sure to do Goodwood! It is the best moving car event in the world.

Your trip sounds like a blast! Haven't gotten my M2C yet, but when I do, Ill be doing Euro Delivery and will be touring Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Austria with it.

Once I get back to North America, I plan to do a cross USA road trip, as well as a Cross Canada road trip!

Really can't wait to start putting KMs on it and take photos in unique locations.

Made a rough plan for my road trip this summer (9-10 days)...

UK > Monaco > Lake Como > Lago di braies > Munich (BMW Museum) > Stuttgart (Mercedes & Porsche Museum) > Nurbugering > Brussels > Bruge > UK

Questions:

1) Anyone know any good passes around Italy/Switzerland?

2) Good Autobahn routes in Germany

3) Anyone driven on the Nurburgring? Did you do the public or track days? How much did you pay and what were the protocols?

Done! Made a trip to my hometown of Savannah GA a few weeks ago. 1160 miles round trip. Gave details in a previous post. Took the trip the week after my break-in service. I'm sure you can imagine why I held off on making the trip until after that service. So much fun!
