I'm also looking forward to this. 1400+ kms from where we live to Merano. On one hand, a long drive, but on the other, lots of open top opportunities! The latter is more important of course.

An important message from the organizers:

Please, please have your mechanic / garage check your brake system before departure. Do tell him you are planning to drive 6 alpine passes in one day. During this trip you will cover large height differences. You will be climbing, but also descending a great deal. Having good brakes makes the difference between having an accident and having great fun!

Verify your brake lines, and ensure there is no air in them. Bleed all the air. Make sure your brake fluid is current, and certainly does not have any water in it (brake fluid is hygroscopic, and will attract water, which greatly diminishes brake performance when it gets hot -- and believe me, it will).

When descending, do brake using the engine. So (also if you have an automatic gear) descend in the same gear that you drove uphill in.

Note, you are taking part at your own risk. Fix these things now, before departure. Last year a German Pagoda group had problems with brakes as they were unprepared.

Perfect Peter! The other critical system is the cooling system. There are some very long steady uphill climbs with few if any breathing spaces. Good idea to check out the cooling system at the same time the brakes are being reviewed.

Sorry for sounding a like a cowboy. I'm not, I'm serious about maintaining my car.

Mikael... the message was not aimed at you, but at everyone. I rally my car and know about this kind of preparation. Not everyone does, and this is stuff one needs to do before setting off!

Ralph, absolutely. A well working cooling system is important too. But if it does not work well, at least it will not kill you!

Thanks for the good advice Peter, I've just had the MOT done, would that be enough you think?

Peter van Es · « **Reply #164 on:** July 25, 2016, 07:49:49 »

Kemal,

No. How old is your brake fluid ? If more than 2 years, replace. You are really going to stress your car...

Hello all ,

Yes very good advice to make sure your car is ready to go mountain driving .

You can reply on my Email address to send in your personal introduction ( 20 sentence and picture ) for our so called "facebook ".
Also please mention your partner or co-driver in this mail . From some of you it is still a mystery who is sitting in your car beside you.

We will send you nr 2 Flyer coming week with all the details , addresses , tel numbers , and program .

Greetings from the 2016 Euro Event team

Rick,

I have not seen any request for a specific amount for the second payment. Did this go to Martijn??

Also I want to add a request for a second car plate, since Martijn will need one for his wall of honor in Mijdrecht and I want to add one to my wall of honor in SoCal.

Sure am looking forward to this!!!

Exactly same for me. Spoke to Achim (since we are planning to be a team) and he has received the request. We will forward all items through Achim.

Rick, I would also kindly request a second car plate and will gladly pay extra for it, so it can also live in "SoCal."

Thanks.

Hi John,

You will need to seek out the organisers, I suggest Rick007 and see if there were any vacant spaces that have come up. I believe it was pretty much booked out at the beginning of the year but there may have been some drop off’s. There was very limited spaces available. If you are not able to get abroad this Tour, the next will be in Two years time assuming there is a couple of volunteers and will be well advertised on the Forum.

Certainly a few from UK attending as well as USA and Australia.
