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...

Sounds interesting- went to Milan in 2010 for the Alfa Centenary which was excellent. Could well be tempted with this. Look forward to more details

Me too rolleyes
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 laugh


This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Cheeky bugger. Those grey hairs are experience, authority, and wisdom.

I'm very much supporting this philosophy laugh

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 laugh

Simon, I read this Rosyth-Zeebrugge chat online back in 2017 or 2018 but then an article came up just a couple of weeks ago. It would save on a little bit of driving for us this side but I expect it will inevitably come down to the cost difference Rosyth and Newcastle. The cost of our trips from Newcastle to IJmuiden haven't really changed much but the expensive part for us was pet friendly cabins which almost doubles. I don't expect we will be bringing dogs for 2024.

Going from Zeebrugge to Turin does change the route to take make use of French roads and approx 2 hours/ 50 miles shorter but perhaps with French toll costs I'm not sure of extra cost. I've no experience of the roads through France as its predominantly been Germany in to Austria or Switzerland but it may very well be worth looking at it as an option if its up and running before then.

We've certainly found some great places to stay along the routes we have taken and split the journey in up into 2 night stop and both in Germany. Id probably say May 2022 trips had our best finds yet.

At the beginning of the trips we took the decision to not go via France because of the tolls and that's remained for the others however its always up for consideration. I think Rob might be the person to speak to for his opinion of both French or German routes.

There's no tolls in Germany, Austria has tolls, Switzerland you need a vignette at 40 euro which covers you unless you use some tunnels, Italy has tolls throughout but with the route to Turin I think we would only encounter 1 toll. From leaving Turin to Switzerland via Aosta valley there is 1 toll.

French motorways are generally first class with max speed limit of 83mph in fine weather.

There are regular stopping off areas, either for a wee and a rest, or larger ones for meals, fuel and a proper break.

They do have a cost, but you can cover long distances very easily.

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.

Pete, Does the Emovis tag cover France only?

I think when we looked at the italian Telepass it worked out very expensive and so just cheaper just paying at the tolls.

Brian, what would you estimate the extra cost of tolls to be?

Would that cost be offset by shorter journey time/fuel savings?

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.

My inclination is to take a shorter route and arrive at destination earlier on this occasion, if I were "on holiday" I'd rather take a mixture of scenic/motorway route.

Autobahns will certainly eat up the mileage however will increase fuel consumption but happy to take Brian's recommendation having done the trip several times.

I'll probably go the same route as 2019, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland through the tunnel to Italy, as Bob says Germany driving is quite dull mile after mile zzz

Sounds an interesting route Joe. Would that tunnel be Great St Bernard Tunnel?

Id agree with you about the mile after mile of roads in Germany wether Autobahn or not. What breaks it up for us is setting off from our hotel and driving halfway, stop somewhere scenic and spend an hour, have a coffee and cake, then do the other half to the next hotel.

Our first trip we stopped only once... I thought the quickest way was the best way to Italy but in doing so that ment missing out in some spectacular places in Germany, Switzerland.

The following years we've opted for 2 stops before reaching Italy. Ofcourse if time off is limited then we have to do more miles per day.

I think we are very likely going to treat the trip to Turin 2024 as our holiday. Spending maybe 10 days around the north of Italy.

We'll be doing it in two stages of course: first bringing the Coupe to Potsdam so it can stay on the continent a couple of months and get a sun tan, and then Potsdam down to Italy - which is of course quite a lot further than e.g. London-Turin. We'd probably risk the A9 and stop somewhere around Munich, since thirteen hours in a coupe isn't good for my back any more.

Neil we found a great hotel to atay Aschbacher Hof in Feldkirchen-Westerham just south of Munich and not far off the beaten track. We will definitely stop again if a route would take us.

Joe, I think I seen MtBlanc signs after last tolls from leaving Turin just before going right to Bernardo pass but perhaps we should have gone Mont Blanc for France stop. Not knowing the huge delays at Bernardo. Id also look a around Geneva as another stopover.

I would think the Mont Blanc route is ideal - one stop in France somewhere south of Dijon, & you can easily make Turin the next day. Or add a stop in Aosta which is lovely, then it's a nice short hop to Turin.

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...

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.

This does look tempting! Whether the Coupe (or me) are still going in 2024, who knows, but it's worth adding me as a 'tentative' for now.

Trip isn't so bad as it looks like about 9 hours from home, with the only downside being having to negotiate around Lyon, although I can probably find a different route

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.

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 wink

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.

Cheers, Joe

Looking forward to THIS event. Was such a Nice gathering in 2019.
I am trying to gather Coupes from Scandinavia for the event next year.

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 just read this story concerning a French motorist whose hire car was deemed to not meet the Euro 6 emissions requirement in the London ULEZ -
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-falls-foul-of-ulez-rule-french-hire-car
It's not just a UK problem - skip to the end of the article to see the link to ULEZs in other European cities. I checked the Turin regulations -
https://urbanaccessregulations.eu/countries-mainmenu-147/italy-mainmenu-81/piemonte-region/torino
and it looks like cars have to be Euro 3 compliant, which I don't think our Coupes are frown.
Is this going to cause problems for us at the 30 years event?

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

I have no doubt that Giorgio and the Piemonte group have this very much in mind, it's something that was highlighted some weeks ago also.

It'll be an extra challenge for them I'm sure to work out a route that avoids Turin's ULEZ unless they have friends high-up laugh

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.

Well last time there was a high-speed parade through Turin - with a police escort!

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.

Dates wise we've heard that they're planning to hold the 30th anniversary somewhere between 25th May - 5th June 2024, it's not set in stone but it allows us to pencil those dates in next year's diary.

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!

Please pop me on the list, with a +1 TBC. Will be great doing this again.

July 2024 is FIAT's 125th anniversary I believe. Long holiday in Italy anyone? Or a return trip a month later? laugh

Looking at the names and numbers it will be an epic meet, reminds me of days gone by when we used to have these sorts of numbers at Brooklands smile

I was just in Venice & Milan. It was a little warm to say the least cool

Let's hope its a bit cooler in Turin in late-May/early-June 2024!

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 cry

If however it’s outside of that then I’ll still come along confused

Turin's LTZ needs careful navigation as there are car restrictions at certain times plus there's the emissions issue. I've seen that exemptions may be granted if an Exemption a Posteriori is completed - this includes 'great events' which this may fall under? One for the Italian coupe club to follow up perhaps confused

indeed Alan the organising group have been promised a meeting with the Municipality of Turin for some time now to thrash out this very issue. We are in touch with them and they will inform us of developments as soon as they arise.

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.

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

Just a thought - are AutoItalia aware of the event as they may wish to cover it for a feature article?

This needs sharing on the Irish FB group, maybe Brian can do that one.

Joe, we need to remember to have a conversation about getting my car out of storage again next year, so it's here to go to Italy. Even starting here, it's probably best as a two-day journey...

Certainly worth sharing Joe. In fact might even be worth asking others DFDS etc. Ive received an email to book now with 20% early discount with DFDS Newcastle to Ijmuiden sailing which we will quickly be taking.

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 wink.
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

Great news of your restoration Joé, we are still waiting for the dates to be announced. This will be when the Municipality of Turin decides which weekend will be the most appropriate as they have to consider the timings of other local events.

Watch this space....

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

Staying on the Italian theme I hope we're going to get white smoke on the dates soon as some time has elapsed since the last comms about this. For those of us getting over night ferries, the early booking deals may not be around for much longer frown
