[Plecodoras]

Well that was quick Dan !

Put me down for a place, but need to confirm the 26th is my 25th wedding anniversary, so if she no go - then i no go lol.

Edit: Dan this is 7 day trip? just to clarify...

Looks fantastic and you know what will improve the scenery?

15 RCZ's - you knew that was coming !! :thumbup:

:beer:

 

[DanRo]

Yes, but some people need to ask for vacation well in advance so that's why

We also have our 25th wedding anniversary in september but on the 18th.

We normally had planned a vacation to Lanzarote, but we had such a good time in Tirol that we Ann gave me a green light to organise the trip to Italy and cancel the vacation in Lanzarote :lol:

Nice to hear Jeff :thumbup:

Nice route! I can recommend to anyone to take the RCZ into the Dolomiti Alps. Unforgettable!

 

[DanRo]

You are welcome to join us

 

[RCZ-R]

You are welcome to join us

Thank you!
I'd love to. But according to my current plans I will not drive the R by then.

Oh..., pray do tell? New car on the horizon... :eusa-whistle:

Oh..., pray do tell? New car on th horizon... :eusa-whistle:

It depends on what the market will offer after Auto Geneva 2018. I hope the new 508 will fit me. If not, I will look elsewhere.
Nice, new coupes are rare nowadays.

 

[renegade79]

Is there’s enough bhp in a 508 for you?

Have you considered an E-class coupe? I quite like them!

 

[DanRo]

Please don't high jack this topic.

If you want to chat about a Peugeot 508, this is the wrong topic even the wrong forum

 

[RCZ-R]

Although I will not take part in the RCZ meet I have a question:

Is there a reason why on the 7th day you don't take the SS44 left of Sterzing and head for the climb towards Timmelsjoch via the S44bis? The road on the italian side is just breath taking beautiful. I mean you can have a look on street view :greetings-wavingblue:

 

[DanRo]

The reason why we don't drive over the SS44 and the Timmelsjoch on the 7th day, because on the 7th day everybody start the return journey towards home.

But the main reason is because we will drive over the SS44 and so also the Timmelsjoch on day 6

So ofcourse we will drive over this beautifull road over the Timmelsjoch during our road trip in the Dolomitit

 

[RCZ-R]

Got it!
You and the group will enjoy a spectacular view. The route you pin pointed follows some of the greatest roads in the Dolomite Alps.

 

[DanRo]

I know the region qieut well I have driven there a lot on my motorcycle. During the road trip we will drive over the nicest routes in the Dolomiti. Even to get there we will drive over the Gross Glockner. This high alp road should be on every driver bucket list according to Top Gear .

 

[RCZ-R]

I agree. Entering the Dolomites from east is way more picturesque than following the Brenner Pass.

In my opinion only French Alps can top that. Maybe 2019 you will be doing a French Alps drive?

 

[DanRo]

Yes in 2019 I will organise a road trip in the French alps.

I will go from Grenoble all the way Nice.
