Sent my email off ...any first timers coming ?.

Hallo hier Norbert habe  italien  hotel gebucht  komme mit silberling 131 ohne Frau diesmal leider  freue mich sehr euch alle und neue kennen zu lernen da mein englich ja so schlecht ist habe auf deutsch geschrieben dann musset ihr halt übersetzen lassen ;D ;D ;D bin auf Heini angemeldet meine passwort vergessen theo kannst du das mal löschen bei Gelegenheit .
So bis dann und startet die Motoren  Gruss Norbert ;) :) 8)

He lost username and password... but we were told by the computer that there is already someone with his email address... so no way out  :o

PM sent to both of you  ;) :D

Bookings at the hotel are coming in steadily and it seems we will have a larger than normal UK participation this year. If all goes well, we could have a UK convoy of seven 131s or even more travelling to Turin. At Jason's suggestion (insistence more likely....) we'll be visiting the Abarth Works Museum in Belgium on the way out. That'll  require a 6:00am ferry from Dover to Dunkirk. I have found that for such early ferry crossings it's best to travel to Dover the day before and stay at a hotel nearby; the Ramada Inn normally have good deals  ;) And of course we'll need an overnight stay on the way to Turin and then another single night's stay for the way back. I'm not proposing to arrange group bookings for these hotels but if you're in the UK and will be joining us, let me know and I'll keep you updated on possible hotel choices and offers. 

Hotel 'Parisi' booked. ;D
we will be travelling via the Tunnel, hopefully we can meet up at the Abarth museum, need to put some timings to it so i can book the right train, has anyone worked out travel time to the museum and how long we are staying.
I think me and Dawn might have another overnight in Belgium or thereabouts before heading for Turin the next day.
Let me know what everyone's doing.
Steve

Steve,

The very rough outline of the outbound time schedule is as follows (not yet confirmed, but most likely)

Tues 4th June - 0600hrs ferry Dover - Dunkirk then trip to Guy Moerenhout's Abarth 'Museum' in Belgium. Leave Museum just after lunch and travel west, then south with an overnight stop somewhere in Alsace/Strasbourg.

Weds 5th June - Full day's drive south via eastern France and Switzerland, dropping into northern Italy and Turin late afternoon/early evening.

I think an overnight in Belgium is too soon and won't give you enough time the following day to complete the trip to Italy in 'comfort'.

We've not yet booked the ferry as we've not confirmed the homeward timings as yet and I realise you favour the train, but we usually use DFDS from Dover. Usually cheaper and not so many kids!

I've PM'd you my mobile number - give me a call and we can chat through the finer points.

Cheers, Simon

We plan to take a 6:00am DFDS ferry from Dover arriving in Dunkirk at 9:00am local time. It's just over 2 hour drive to the Abarth Works Museum in Lier so we expect to be there 11:30-12:00. Guy Moerenhout and his guys are expecting us and we'll spend a couple of hours there drooling over the cars or having lunch or both. We'll need to leave there by 2:00pm to allow us a 5 plus hour drive to our overnight stay which we expect to be somewhere near Strasbourg (for a Flammkuchen dinner?  ??? ;) ;D). We haven't finalised overnight accommodation for Tuesday night yet as we need to know the size of our convoy before we find a suitable hotel. On Wednesday morning we'll depart around 9:00am for the drive over the Alps and to our 3ma19 "home" which should be 7-8 hours with refuelling/coffee/lunch stops.

Just this week left to book your accommodation for 3ma19. Booking deadline is Sunday 31st March!

I'd suggest an overnight stay at the Ox hotel, just over the border from Strasbourg, where we stayed in 2014. Definitely nicer than most French hotels  :)

https://www.oxhotel.de/

Most probably we'll be there.

We certainly liked the Ox hotel last time and it's still being considered but may be just a little bit too far from the Abarth Works Museum in Lier. The Ox seems over an hour's drive from Strasbourg and likely to be about 7 hours from Lier with refuelling and coffee stops plus the odd bit of traffic. If we are leaving Lier around 2:00pm it'll be 9:00pm by the time we get to the Ox.

Another hotel being considered is the Hotel Majestic in Alsace (https://majestic-alsace.net/en/ ) which should be around 5 hours' drive from Lier. We can get good deals on Booking.com but with only 25 rooms we might not all be able to get in unless we book soon. Can't really finalise the overnight stay hotel and book it until we know how many we'll be.

At the moment we have 13 confirmed travellers from the UK in 7 cars but I suspect we might end up with a few more. Plus some of our German friends might be meeting us at our overnight stay for a convoy drive to Turin, Italy.

Hotel 'Parisi' booked. !!  ;)

Just now we booked hotel Parisi. we arrive morning 6 of June hotel Parisi

-janne-

Ok, nights at the OX in Heitersheim confirmed. We'll be there from June 4-5 and 10-11. If anyone wants to join us: on June 4 only 1 room left; June 10 is whitsunday, so it might be difficult to find rooms at all, whether in Germany or in France. I suggest you all make early reservations for the return journey!

I assume we'll meet the UK convoy at the Swiss border on June 5? What about the German section, any ideas yet?

Hi
I send our booking wrong email adress :'( but just now i send new booking and we hope that it succeeds !
Robert and Theo i send PM now

-janne-

But June 10 is a Monday! Or is the Monday a holiday in Germany and France?

A quick check on Booking.com shows plenty of availability in the area including for the Ox hotel. But we must sort out our outbound and return overnight stays for the UK contingent soon....

We currently have  13 rooms booked at the Parisi hotel which have been taken up by 21 people, 4 children, 12 Fiats and 1 Ford  ::)  ;D

We had reserved an allocation of 15 rooms at the hotel Parisi and they have now agreed to extend our booking deadline to the end of April for the remaining 2 rooms.

I stand corrected, June 10 is a Monday  :'( but is anyway a holiday in Germany (so, less lorries on the road!). However, most likely weekend guests will be on their way home by then, so no pressure in finding a room I suppose.

All of our 15 reserved rooms have now been booked for 3ma19.
The Hotel Parisi still have some accommodation available for the dates of 3ma19 but you better be quick if you want to join us  ;)

I confirm June 10 is a holiday in France ...

The Grand Hotel Filippo (https://grand-hotel-filippo.net/en/) in Niederbronn has been booked for outward journey (4-5 June) and the Ox Hotel in Heitersheim has been booked for the return journey (10-11 June).

I may have an old sat nav ,but some of these foreign post cide and streets need a little  persuasion !! Bit added after working it out sorted now 😊
