Neutreus Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 This isn't a club supported event but Longy, who is well known to quite a few members, organises what is typically (barring Covid) an annual road trip to Europe. This years event starts this weekend as we head to Reims in France on Friday to start the tour on Saturday morning from the old historic race track. After that, the destination is unknown to us participants and only Longy knows the destinations for the following week (we get to find each days destination the evening before or over breakfast normally). There will likely be some silly challenges and some fairly spirited driving on the way but I'll report back after the event. In the meantime, this years chariot is all ready to whisk Mrs N and myself around whatever mountains, switchbacks, tunnels and autobahns we may visit! 3 2021 RS4 - Comfort & Sound Pack, Black Pack, Pan Roof, Storage Pack, Extended Interior Lighting + more. 2011 Gunmetal Nissan GTR Premium Edition - Litchfield Stage 1, Miltek Y-Pipe, Alcon Discs, Ferodo DS2050 Pads, Flat bottomed steering wheel - NOW MAKING MEMORIES FOR SOMEONE ELSE 2016 Sepang Blue Audi RS3 - APR Stage 1 tune with High Flow air filter and Secondary Decat Pipes - I'LL MISS THE POPS AND BANGS (BUT THE NEIGHBOURS WON'T) 2012 Pearl White 370Z GT Edition - Invidia Gemini catback exhaust with burnt titanium rolled tips, Stillen Gen 3 Intake Kit, UpRev, 15mm Eibach spacers, Satin Black painted bumpers - GONE TO A NEW OWNER WITHIN THE CLUB BUT WILL BE VERY FONDLY REMEMBERED. 2005 Gun Metal 350Z GT, Alezan Leather & plenty of mods - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_S Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Sad to say I'm not on this Run2 (the first one we've ever missed) I'm keeping up with their adventures via the WhatsApp group.

Neutreus Posted September 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Having just got back this evening and driven approx. 2,400 miles, I have to say that it has been truly epic. One of the best (even to the point where Mrs N said so too!). The route included: Reims, France (and the historic start finish straight from the race track) - there may have been some fast pass by video's so rumour has it Dijon, France Grenoble, France Rapallo, Italy (taking in a few glaciers in view on the way and soem epic roads) Pisa, Italy Florence, Italy (on the way the next day, we stopped at the Mugello race track for a quick piccie) Bologna, Italy (on the way to the next destination we stopped at the Ducati Offiicial shop and the Lamborghini factory and museum) Innsbruck, Austria Bad Herrenalb, Black Forest Germany (including some unlimited Auto Bahn of course) The German Police stopping us with 2 cars! (more to tell on this later), on the way to Brugge, Belgium I tihnk we went through more tunnels than ever before as well but I'll give a bit more detail of all the above in the next couple of days along with some pics etc. Thankfully though, aside from having to change the brake fluid on one of the guys Audi RS5, it was an incident free trip and everyone got back safe and sound with some amazing memories. 5 2021 RS4 - Comfort & Sound Pack, Black Pack, Pan Roof, Storage Pack, Extended Interior Lighting + more. 2011 Gunmetal Nissan GTR Premium Edition - Litchfield Stage 1, Miltek Y-Pipe, Alcon Discs, Ferodo DS2050 Pads, Flat bottomed steering wheel - NOW MAKING MEMORIES FOR SOMEONE ELSE 2016 Sepang Blue Audi RS3 - APR Stage 1 tune with High Flow air filter and Secondary Decat Pipes - I'LL MISS THE POPS AND BANGS (BUT THE NEIGHBOURS WON'T) 2012 Pearl White 370Z GT Edition - Invidia Gemini catback exhaust with burnt titanium rolled tips, Stillen Gen 3 Intake Kit, UpRev, 15mm Eibach spacers, Satin Black painted bumpers - GONE TO A NEW OWNER WITHIN THE CLUB BUT WILL BE VERY FONDLY REMEMBERED. 2005 Gun Metal 350Z GT, Alezan Leather & plenty of mods - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not much to say really, a bit of a shootout, then high speed pursuit to the border.... helicopter gunships, guns, Police dogs, Tigers etc....a bit boring really! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
