Well, it would be rude not to...
1. Rosso 2. Barnacle 3. DaveG
What could possibly go wrong? Well, last time it was arriving at Dover with one wrong passport, breaking down and abandoning the Coupe at the St Bernard Pass, paying a small fortune to get the Coupe recovered back to Turin, and having an accident on the way back in Antwerp...but highlights were the 2 days in Turin and Parco Valentino, plus visits to Fiat Centro Storico, the National Automobile Museum, pininfarina and the Heritage Hub (all in Turin) and the Abarth Museum in Belgium...

Me too Driveshaft decided to eat itself in Germany. None available in Europe so was stuck for 2 days while a spare was sent over. Managed to get there Saturday night and had to head back on Sunday afternoon after the dinner as I had to catch the ferry from Amsterdam on Monday. Good blast back though
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

I'm sure in our younger years we would have seen this as a challenge arriving at the bar in Bern exhausted but happy, but now being of a more mature age I'm sure we'd all prefer an enjoyable ride down with an extra night to take in the sites and of course stopping for a spot of lunch I'm very much supporting this philosophy Brian, we may even have a choice of Rosyth-Zeebrugge by then, that reduces the European driving leg by about 100km/1 hr but seem to remember it was an expensive fare back in the day. Atm Hull-Rotterdam is cheaper than NCL-IJmuiden and 100km less driving over there as well though more in the UK. Early days yet but do folk have their favoured accommodation points en route in Europe? I'm aware of showing an unhealthy increasing interest in this trip

I found French motorways the easiest way to go if you don’t have a great deal of time for your overall trip. Stopped at Metz when going to Rome via Switzerland, and Dijon is a great overnight stop before crossing into Italy when headed for Turin. With an Emovis tag in your windscreen you dont even need to stop at the toll plazas.

Brian, what would you estimate the extra cost of tolls to be?
Would that cost be offset by shorter journey time/fuel savings?
Fuel savings and fiat coupe doesnt naturally roll off the tongue

At a steady 80mph I was was getting a range of 450 miles per tank which I think is damn good and certainly a pretty heavy laden coupe. Cant really comment on costs of French tolls. Going via Germany and Switzerland is 52 miles shorter. but see belows Via Michelin app calculator. Simon, for or us travelling by ferry from Newcastle Ijmuiden to Turin via Germany and Switzerland 734 miles approx 11 hrs 52 mins Ijmuiden to Turin via Belgium and France 786 miles approx 11 hrs 56 mins 52 miles shorter via Germany and toll free, 40 euro swiss vignette, and then 30 euro approx tolls from Switzerland into Italy and so I expect this is still the cheaper route. Have a look at this great app it breaks down the lot for you. The Via Michelin allows you to enter a route, car, fuel cost etc

Cheapest route will be through Germany & Switzerland, but it is often quite busy and not overly entertaining.
We have travelled down that way quite a few times. I would choose a route to get you down to the interesting areas swiftly. The French tolls are expensive but are mostly rather quiet, especially if you avoid the A6 & Lyon. Once in the south take an overnight. The following day leave the auto-routes and pick an interesting D Route across the Alps and on into Turin.
The D1006 was a nice route over, plenty of Forts to explore on the border. The N94 Briancon - Sestriere was also a nice route over to Turin.
Gone Audi mad!

This is already in the plan? Who will organize the event? I would really like to go too. Maybe we meet there I think Gorgio from the Italian owners club is responsible for the event organisation in Turin but various country clubs will be making their own arrangements to get down there. Is there a Fiat Coupe owners club in Slovenia?

Out of interest in the past did many of the UK coopsters rendezvous at some point in Europe then convoy to Turin or did folk tend to make their own way?
This time it looks like we'll have at least 2 embarkation points from Blighty, Dover and Newcastle.
Oh and the chunnel probably... I think some of the others met up but I was timebound regarding the length of my trip so went most direct route for me

Oh and the chunnel probably... It would be great to have a convoy to Turin, how that would work for the UK coopsters I dont know but it would be great to do it. It's likely to be split in to 2, a group arriving in France and Netherlands. Simon, Im still doubtful the Rosyth-Zeebrugge will be up in running by 2024. Im reading the freight will be running as early as 2023 with passenger crossings to follow in 2024. Its early to say ofcourse, but my preferred route Newcastle-Ijmuiden and meeting up with anyone in the Netherlands or Germany. From Ijmuiden, the shortest route at 730 miles and which could do in 2 stops in Germany and arrive in Turin on day 3. That's 4 hours @ 240 miles drive each day and so its not hard pushed.

Andrew, We will most definitely be arriving by ferry in Ijmuiden, Netherlands. Depending on the route, we can all have coffee & lunch (or breakfast or whatever) at my house then. I live in the south of The Netherlands. Next to the A27. Between Gorinchem and Breda.

Really up for adding this to our 2024 to do list, would be lovely to catch up with everyone from 2004 & 2014.
Don't however expect to have a Coupé so may have to cadge lifts at the event.
Gone Audi mad!

Being the Europe club Rep I guess it's about time I picked this up allowing Brian and Simon to get on with other business I've added the names above including Bob as a TBC, of course anyone who's sold up and is still a member who'd like to join us please by all means as it's a club for everyone not just Coupe owners. Hotel wise I'll be talking with the Holiday Inn where we stayed before for the 20th and 25th, no doubt the Italian club will make the reservations but if we have an idea of numbers that'll cut down on asking these questions when the time comes, of course things change as we're all busy so if you need to drop off the list let me know.

Hi Joe, can you plus one me please. It’s been long enough time gap for MrsW to forget the European road trip in 2018 and roasting in Doris without aircon
Doris the 1998 Portofino Blue 20V and Zoe the 1999 Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Bog standard needn't be boring...

My grandson, JPS, mentioned to me yesterday that he would be interested subject to him having a working coupe by then.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

I hadn’t thought about this, but it’s a very good point
I’ll let someone else more knowledgeable on this to confirm, but having been ticketed previously in Italy for a ZTL infringement (I simply took a wrong turn) it cost me 200 euros. It would dampen my commitment to driving to Turin with the prospect of some crazy charges that arrive later that you’ll find very difficult to overturn
Cheers Jamie

Like you Joe I'm not an expert but a quick search on google says they can pursue a UK citizen post brexit, see below
Within the EU, driver details can be shared between nations and a fine will automatically arrive at their address.
Post-Brexit, the situation for UK residents is a little different. If they hold a UK driving licence, the fine will not follow them home automatically.
The EU country is required to issue a request for the payment of the violation that will arrive in the form of a letter.
For some offences, there is no time limit so the fine may arrive many months after a trip, much to the surprise of the motorist.

The Police escort was too fast.............. which lead to a Coupe sandwich on the second day and 1x being written off OMG I don't think I knew that Was it a UK car? Polish and a Dutch cars I think it was, maybe a German owner involved as well.

I recall the incident - it was a couple of cars away from us - but I wasn't aware that one was written off. Yes the Polish Coupe specialist who was there bought the damaged Coupe and had it shipped back to Poland for repair.

I hadn’t thought about this, but it’s a very good point
I’ll let someone else more knowledgeable on this to confirm, but having been ticketed previously in Italy for a ZTL infringement (I simply took a wrong turn) it cost me 200 euros. It would dampen my commitment to driving to Turin with the prospect of some crazy charges that arrive later that you’ll find very difficult to overturn
Cheers Jamie ... we're not part of the EU so not enforceable, correct me if I'm wrong Some of us still are.....

The proposed dates happen to fit in with our 30th wedding anniversary! Some interesting negotiating to follow..... I had never made that particular connection with the coupe before!

Assuming the dates are correct, unfortunately I’m not going to make it as we’ve just booked a holiday 29th May to 14th June inclusive If however it’s outside of that then I’ll still come along Jamie

We've had some great news from our Italian friends about the 30th anniversary next year, Simon received this last night.
hi, some little news. today we finally had a meeting with the councilor for major events of the municipality of Turin. good news, they seem interested and will give us the opportunity to move around Turin with their support and to park the cars and expose them in a couple of squares in the city, close to each other, both with the Po river and Turin hills as a backdrop (excellent for beautiful pictures). as regards the dates, they suggested June 1st and 2nd or June 8th and 9th (most likely 8th and 9th). we, as we did for the 10th and 20th anniversary of the coupe, will welcome the crews in the chosen hotel on Friday for those arriving from outside Turin and we are thinking of organizing something for Monday too. by the end of next week we will define the date with the municipality and I will notify you.

Excellent that's a big step forward. So most likely Saturday, Sunday and possibly the Monday. Yes and start the return journey on the Tuesday making it a chilled 6 day road trip.

Joe - that's excellent news So I assume if it's an agreed official event we'll be exempt on the emissions restrictions in operation in Turin?

Basically yes, and reading between the lines we might be escorted to a designated square for parking so good news Roger that Just a thought - are AutoItalia aware of the event as they may wish to cover it for a feature article?

Irish Ferries have sent us this message in case some of you can make use of it...
Irish Ferries offer group discounts for car groups of 5+ vehicles travelling on the Irish Sea or the English Channel
This needs sharing on the Irish FB group, maybe Brian can do that one.

Hi Stephen, glad you found the area I directed you to - but as I explained this is the only place you will be able to find out further details such as dates/number of permits/travel etc. All that we know is contained in this thread and be sure you will be updated as soon as there are confirmed dates - like yourself everyone on this list is very keen to firm up their travel arrangements.

Hello everyone, this is my first post as I have only recently got in touch with Kayjey again after more than 20 years. My Coupé is currently being redone from scratch for the next 25 years . I've had her since July 8, 1994 and would like to join you on your way to Turin in 2024 depending on the date. Hopefully the date will be after mid-July as I will be working until then and I couldn't possibly join. In the meantime stay safe all of you. Joé

I've had her since July 8, 1994 Joé
Wow! Someone who's had their coupe longer than me (24/10/95; they were released a year earlier on the continent than in the UK). Look forward to meeting you on the trip, Joé Neil
