2016 E21 Eifel Trip - 30 Sep & 1 Oct

Post by Jeroen »

Best time of the year according to many. In 2010 we started off planning a long weekend abroad, but not too demanding: not too far away, not too expensive, aimed on driving fun and having a great time with a group of like minded BMW fanatics, and it has been a success ever since! To get an idea please have a look at our 2015 report

Odo and Geert set up some wonderful routes to explore the northeast Vosges (Fra) and the west Eifel (Ger), with two options:
1: 2 days of driving and 3 nights at the hotel (arrive Thursday evening Sep 29, drive day 1 Sep 30, drive day 3 Oct 1, drive back home Oct 2)
2: 1 day of driving and 2 nights at the hotel (arrive Friday evening Sep 30, drive day 1 Oct 1, drive back home Oct 2)

As per July 25, 16 teams and a total of 29 people have registered so it's going to be an old fashioned success again!

Interested? PM me for more info!

Just FYI people, sofar 22 teams registered, this is fun guaranteed. Wonderful routes, great people, lovely cars and a good time outside the car as well... dinner, drinks and small talk with like minded. E21 is the starting point but each year we have several other classic or youngtimer BMW models taking part as well, not a problem, we're all BMW fans, right?!

Really, really, really looking forward to the meet & drive of the year guys!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
