That’s just a bit of water! You can easily conquer that with a cheap plane ticket and a rental car ;p

“cheap” - $1400 for two people. I could get a press car though.

That $1400 would cover a new exhaust for the ISF though.

I should have said cheapest, you’re right. I keep hearing that price fighters are going to start crossing the atlantic but it sadly d oesn’t seem to influence prices that much yet

Yeah I wish they would. Southwest is probably getting close with the 737 MAX but we will see. I did a whole case study on Southwest in college.

Why not a regular England meet. We were close last March, in Wales.

Oh...it’s Europe.

Unrelated question - does anyone have a spare -$1000 in their couch cushions t o fund a car enthusiast's trip to Europe?

I just bought a flight ( SF to Paris) for $395 round trip on United. It’s November travel, so that’s probably why, but that’s round trip for 2 under $ 1k.

Part of my problem is living in Nashville . We can get to ATL pretty easy, but it still adds expense and annoyance. If I did it right, I can get a Nashville t England nonstop now for probably close to $1200.

Because I can only afford to travel like that once a decade

Its in Europe. Shipping a car is expensive and slow

duurtlang > TheD0k_2many toys 2little time

That's why they invented rental cars!

A rental car is the fastest car in the world, dont you want to experience the fastest car in the world.....?

Wow Air probably the worst airline I’ve ever flown. Worse than RyanAir even.

I’d love to, but for spring/early summer I anticipate being incredibly broke, being that I’ll be a recent college grad starting a new job.

Is there a plan brewing for a Midwest Oppo meet/rally in the near future?

That’s kind of expected though, isn’t it? Given the price, I’m half-surprised that they allow luggage, and don’t have passengers packed in as tightly as slave ships were (at the beginning of the voyage, that is).

If the date is after June the wife is for it. I’d still have to find a decent plane ticket but I could see it happening. I’m not gonna vote though cause of that.

It sounds like a great way to see parts of Europe I’ve never seen and we really appreciate a good beer.

Wife just told me the car rental better have a stick. Lol got her thinking about it at least.

Awesome! One of the date options that currently seems to be winning is week 28 (second week of July).

Is there an e-mail address I can use to keep you up- to- date on the location and date ?
