Possible Toc Gumball Idea's Needed

[Ken]

As the title say's peep's your idea's are needed for a event which will take place in September

One idea i have is to go to Switzerland in one long blat then do a mountain road tour through Switzerland, Northern Italy and Austria around the twisties.

Another is just to go to Brittany rent a large cottage as a base and tour the region from there.

So what are your idea's and once we have a few i'll put it to a poll

[knightrider]

i could be up for this sounds like great fun if not ill happily co pilot :P

the second idea sounds best a base would be good especially for some late night drinking!

[Leeky]

Both good idea

Would love to get onto the Cannonball run :D Been watching it on Men & Motors.

London to Rome :D Rock on!

I'd suggest we try to do a load of different tracks, like the Ring, then Spa....maybe even down to Monaco or Montecarlo :D

Far from it, ok your plan sounds cheaper :P

[Caz SR]

Sounds very interesting

A mountain tour might be quite a difficult run though - possibly long stretches without the chance for a break plus very, very demanding.

A run with a base might be a more acessable idea for one of the first TOC Gumballs, leaving a mountain run for later on? :)

[JustJJ]

I'm liking these ideas :D especially as above the one wht the 'base'.... pity Aldernay isnt accessible for cars easily :P they have some Forts you can hire out lol... Fort TOC!.. but I dont think its logistically possible :P hehe... but the above ideas sound fab!

[chrisb]

This sounds wicked!Would love to be able to do it!

How far are you lookign to travel? My grandparents did thw whole of europe (ok well not all) in just under 2 weeks (but was only 1 way). Included Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands then from Hook of Holland to Harwich. They normally stayed over 2-3 nights in each place, said it was a trip they wouldn't forget. So you've got plenty of places you could go really...take in some sight seeing as you go ;)

[mark_n]

Now there is a plan. Both are good idea's. I would really like to go on tour like that. Provided there was enough time to save up.

Just had a quick search and found that spot, 10mins from a karting spot and quad biking nearby, oh and it's got a pub at the end of the lane

If we filled it it would work out at £82.33 each ;)

[Tegan]

This sounds wicked! im up for it ;)

Are we doing spa on way back from the ring this year ken? i know we talked about it last year

No track day running on our return.

Just been checking ferries and direct to Brittany is a right rip off

Speedferries Dover to Boulogne comes in at £50 return though :D

[Tegan]

Thats a shame about spa :( never mind

[mark_n]

I would certainly like to go. As it is not as expensive as I was thinking it might be.

[jaxx]

IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO GUMBALL!

that said..! im in regardless of cost, date, etc etc....

[Chyownster]

Rock on! but i think a nice pit stop for some beverages is a top plan

[jaxx]

thats the whole point of gumball... drive car, admire scenery, drink and party :D

[Ryan1985]

Septemeber clashes with uni unfortunately but a week off won't kill me! :D

I'm in - maybe!

[Roytoner]

Sounds Good to us

Could do with some dates B) so we can try to organize the skive time :D

Already going for a drive round France & Italy for afew weeks with friends from Holland

GOOD PLAN KEN

[Ken]

So up to now as i see it we can either do it on the cheap using a base and a set of different driving challenge's each day or go the whole hog and tour europe's best twisty bit's.

Or is their another idea?

[Kerby]

tbh i prefer the whole hog and tour europe. but im not bothered either way.
