Just as important Enzo can save a few thousand miles off a long european trip , thought about this last year , when i fancied doing another trip made sense to me to take the hardship out of a long slog down there and home again and just doing the odd 1000 miles around the area you want to visit

Maybe for Maserati's 100th?

thats what i was thinking peter...thats 2012 aint it??

ill be up for that

 

[GransportFan1]

i would be up for that as well, get myself a Bi Turbo for about 4K, do you think a Bi Turbo could make it back to Modena?

What a fantastic idea, always wanted to drive to Italy but a long way, this looks like a great alternative and makes it a short stay holiday instead of 10 days which I think more of us could manage.

 

[dem maser]

thats more me aswell andrew.....train there stay for 10 days driving round there then if your knackered train it home....

 

[reservoirfrog]

this seems to be very reasonable, if you consider the cost of fuel to do the equivelent road miles, its cheaper. you save time, lots of it, not cost for overnight accomodation on route. wake up refreshed and ready to start your southern european tour.
I'm going to look at this for next years trip.

 

[conaero]

if we can get a group booking and get it down to £200, then great idea. I do think I would like to drive one way though, probably the way there.

 

[dem maser]

ill be happy with train both ways and drive a lot while we there.....just more relaxing...

Is'nt that 200 each way though. it's still cheaper than a 2000 mile round trip by road.

I think so Rob.....must check where it starts from....ends Milan?

[reservoirfrog]

[Parisien]

...or even better...end point at Livorno on coast....maybe closer than Alessandra!

[Easyplan66]

just spend a week driving around the Italian lakes and visiting car museums sounds like a great plan

 

[Parisien]
