2016 Euro Alpine Roadtrip Write Up (Pics and Vids) Even More Pics Added!!!!!

Dirty Tool · 07-14-2016, 03:35 AM

What an epic thread. I just came back from a road trip around Europe, done all the alpine passes and went down to Lake Como - 2762 miles in 8 days.

mjn77 · 07-14-2016, 03:56 AM

Yeah, we passed a few other small groups of what we assume were club roadtrips.

pbjjj · 07-14-2016, 11:27 AM

Thank you for sharing pictures from your trip! From looking through your pictures, I felt like I just took a quick road trip! Now I don't want to return to work...

I definitely need to plan a similar road trip in the near future.

mjn77 · 07-16-2016, 10:28 AM

The road to the Spluga Pass, tighest hairpins i've ever driven!

Apologies for the inaccurate data, seems i had GPS issues.

mjn77 · 07-16-2016, 11:31 AM

Spluga Pass Ascent (apologies for the 3 mins wasted at the red light

)

mjn77 · 07-16-2016, 11:32 AM

And unless anybody has any requests, that is all my photos / videos

mjn77 · 08-10-2016, 04:10 AM

What do people do with the stickers?

Bin them?
Display them somewhere?
Put them in the rear quarter windows?
Something else?

Anybody interested in 2017's trip, drop me a PM. The route and hotels are all sorted.

Just finished reading and looking at all of the pictures. I'm on my way to Switzerland in a week, so this definitely made my day! And you love your pizza!

Watkins01 · 06-22-2017, 09:09 AM

Do you have a Google map link for the entire road trip?

Would love to do this but would need to add in a couple of personal places.

mjn77 · 06-22-2017, 09:59 AM

I don't, but i'll do screen shots from my BMW Routes app, and you see the routes by creating a google route.

Michael.O.W · 06-23-2017, 05:29 AM
