Won't be carrying any Suzuki spares though.

IMOC T shirt design has been finalised and I am looking to get numbers so that I can get an order to the T Shirt printers in the next week to avoid a last minute rush.Let me know what size and how many you require and payment up front is requested as well.Design and spelling have been done by Maxi this year so it looks fanastic and has no mistakes :oops:

Had plotted a route across France without a single toll until I came to a tunnel under the Alps where the toll was 40.90!!!

Back to the drawing board

€70 for a twin room for the Monday after the IMM sounds tempting. Anyone else interested?

We had looked at hotels at the airport and in the Conference/Expo Zone but they all seemed a bit lifeless and opted for closer to the city centre instead .

Ro/A/Col. all these are 4-star, have parking (one even had valet parking), all are under €80 for the room, and all are with a mile of the train station.

Pick one and we'll book.

Funnily enough French Pubs sell them as well as established apothecary outlets.

They are also available at the ferry ports.

Billy - Halfords do the cheap the pack of two disposable breathalysers which is the legal requirement to have in the car.
- The link to the Hotels didn't list any €80 rooms, more near the €100+

Aidan - Like the design, but where are the QR codes ?


Regards,

Adrian

Procrastination costs!

Select the filters on the side toolbar for the price filters though there's definitely less rooms available since this time yesterday! There's probably a conference on in the Exhibition Centre.

Myself and Billy have booked Hotel Cosmopolitan Bologna for the Monday night, not as central, but good reviews, €70 for twin room.

And €45 for the cheapo room! It will be the one night in the 2-week trip where I'll have a proper bed. Sleep guaranteed and a chance to recharge the batteries, the phone ones that is.

Why don't you avoid the alps altogether Billy, keep going south till you hit the Riviera and take a left, no toll, plus how long is it since they saw an Irish Hornet in Monte Carlo ?
