[3S Service Centre]

Hi Guys.

We are organising a European road trip this summer. We will first call at the Hungaroring for some track day fun.
See here.

We will be organising accomodation at a local rate making this trip affordable for lots of people this is possible because my wife and I have friends and Family in Hungary and Romania.

We are planning a long way ahead to make the very best plans and ensure finances are in place.

If you would like to share in this experience let us know and we can keep you informed as the plans take shape.

The Transfagarasean Road .

Romania looks like a really really cool country, the mountains are amazing

Awsome mate. Start putting the pennies aside, will keep this thread updated, we have started contacting people already, we planned to do a similar trip summer gone but plans changed, not this time, the wife wont allow it she's driving now

Now that IS tempting...when are you planning to go (my wife teaches so I'd be limited to school holidays )

Saw that road on top gear last sunday

[3S Service Centre]

Yeah we are slighty restricted by the F1 but July/August, we will treat it as our holiday so organising the fun stuff too cos it will be very warm plenty of tanning nice sticky roads. We can alter dates around others to a degree. Will close the workshop and the lads will come too.

Toni, great to here from you, your all very welcome, this trip will have a very "Holiday" feel about it only with some fantastic motoring fun here and there, there are lots of great places we can show you guys.

The hungarians are very warm people and will make us very welcome. The Transylvanian mountains were Hungarian Territory before the war so there is a big devide between the more wealthy Hungarians and the Romanians, the place if full to the brim with culture/customs and amazing landscapes to explore. Theres some great bars/clubs/restaurants too. With my broken Hungarian I could order a drink or two.

i might be up for this, was looking at doing some sort of trip next year.

[Barnz]

Sounds great James, going to keep an eye on this

[Quigonjay]

shouldnt be too dificult to include the stelvio pass in that journey

[3S Service Centre]

very true, that might be pushing it for a 10 day trip at a relaxed pace though.

believe me... its worth the squeeze





Just don't expect great performance that high up, from the car or yourself

[3S Service Centre]

lol chicken

[cantfindausername]

No I'm being serious. Its not through lack of wanting performance, its the lack of air at that altitude. It really is mental. My mates 350z was very sluggish in comparison to sea level, and running back to the car to get the camera leaves you out of breath. The air is very thin at 9500ft.

I hear ya, just joking

[Munnsy]

this sounds great
Any idea yet (i know its very early days) on kinda budget people should be expecting to allow for mate??
