I need to look at these when my boss isn't in the room, I can get away with the forum with no pics as it looks like it could be work, but 100,000 pics of clio's? I don't think I can swing it...
I'll reserve comment until then, but after speaking to Neil at FCS, can I come next year? Please? (I'm SRS)

Thanks for the comments
I really hope we do something like this next year, but one thing we quickly realised is that you couldn't make it work with loads of cars.
There was originally 6 cars down for the trip, and we thought that would be a handful - 4 was much better. I would say that would be the limit, any more and it just becomes a nightmare to organise everything - even keeping together on the motorways lol!
We'll see what happens next year
The Boosh!

pppffrrrrtt you wish you had 10% of my talent
as said above anymore than 4 cars would be OTT.. Was hard enough keeping us together lol! "go go go.. Overtake, the road is clear" hahaa
ohh Dan btw, what do you want to do about walkie talkie monies?!

Just sat and went through it, only one word for it: Brilliant.
Me and a few friends want to do something similar, but they're an unorganised bunch, so I may be better to set it up with some of those who are keen from CS

lol, yeh we had enough brown pants moments with 4 cars, any more would be trouble!
Gray - Don't worry about it mate. Give it to me on the next trip next year
That's a recipe for disaster mate. Fair play to Dave, he spent weeks preparing the route, and booking all the camp sites etc. Proper holiday rep

fantastic writeup and looks a blast and a half
Honda & VW
That looks like an immense trip guys, some AMAZING photography there.
I would really love to do this, me and my mates talked about doing this a few years back but at the time a few of us had just bought our house, others had car issues so it never happened
oh and btw its either Bruges or Brugge
Looks like Dave had melted a gurt hole in the snow here almost causing a minor avalanche.....

can i ask what sort of money it cost each of you from leaving your front door until returning through it?
R26
I posted a rough cost earlier, it was in the region of £500-600 for me, but I had no passenger (tears!), so I didnt split all the costs.
But bare in mind we didn't pay for the ring, which would add quite a bit on top of that depending on how many laps you wanted to do.

mine works out about £600 too, we ate out quite a bit more than i had planned too tbh.
im lucky that my fuel cost will be halved, but £600 if you were doing it alone, plus ring laps.
we will be defo doing something next year again, its too epic not too!
REMEMBER GUYS, IT WILL BE FEATURED IN FASTCAR MAGAZINE FOR EVEN MORE DETAILS OF THE TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, so just as well I missed the ferry then! I was debating just staying on the motorway hoping it would clear, but I'm glad I got off!
I past over the motorway and got a view of the incident, loads of police cars etc and a helicopter, so must have been pretty serious

I've just uploaded another video, it's the same video of us going up the Stelvio Pass, but I've added Neil's footage to make a PiP video.
It's not long finished so the quality will improve at some point.
