Too much fun and just a wild little thought,, lets see where this goes...
 

Wild thought for December LOL.....

Ok gang you know I've been around the whole event and driving scene for the past few years and thoroughly enjoyed the heck out of it. As the Crazy Canadian I've been honored to travel pretty much across the country with my fellow RatPack friends and have seen some really cool scenery and met some really Awesome people...

This year I'm seriously considering taking things to another level all over again,, yep the Canadian at it again.... This July I'm weighing the idea of ship one of my cars to to Europe for a Euro-Rat status LOL... That's right one of the founding members of the RatPack wants to make it an international deal...

Roughly speaking idea will be to visit friends in Portugal, then drive through the south of Spain following the coast through the South of France and then into Northern Italy (maybe Ferrari plant too) and try carving a few corners in the Swiss and Italian alps... I do not want to go with to large a group, however the idea will be to find few others and stop in little country type inns along the way... There will be """no""" set schedule other than date of departure and date of return..

Shipping in rough terms has been quoted out in the neighborhood of 2,500-3k round trip with fees for brokerage included out of long island New York to Rotterdam... These fees are an example of current rates and could move around a little, however the shipper felt they reflected a pretty close estimate (quote in this field are only 30 day so we have to double check as we get closer to the time of shipping)...

So far I have two individuals that sound like they are coming,,, so if you're interested in joining us let me know and we'll see where this goes from here LOL...

Here is to 2015 being super cool and having some fun in Europe with our cars....

Wow, that sounds like a blast, man. You'll have to document the trips and share them with us!

Indeed my friend....

Bucket list for sure Albert! Take a ride over to the Ring and Autobahn with your GoPro too ...

:cheers:

Hummm ;-)

The autobahn was great. Miles and miles of perfectly smooth pavement. By law slower drivers must move to the right. I think I dented the floor boards on the rental trying to get an extra MPH.

I'd be nervous driving some American muscle around. You can get into some tight spots in a hurry. In Sevilla I missed a turn and had the road narrow down and scrape both mirrors on a chevy spark. The suv ahead scraped the whole body. Of course the beaches of southern Spain more than made up for any stress while driving. :relax:

Well this is great,,, we're 3 from America confirmed and it sounds like (from the post here) Wim is in from Europe... This crazy little idea just might end up being a big heap of fun after all..... Who is going to be the next one to jump the pond and join in on the fun in Europe this coming July???

Sounds fun, would love to do something like this!

This would not suck.

I've done those routes to include going into Gibraltar and Venice. I think you should have a bit better planning/schedule as getting room reservations isn't always easy.

You're in for a great time with incredible food!
