Excellent! Hopefully we'll have a UK convoy heading over!

[Jeroen]

We'll roll out a red carpet on the left side of the road!

Seriously: we hope to welcome a lot of people from across the pond!

[e21-Mark]

I hope I can get the TWR finished in time!

[gerrit323]

I hope so too .. I would love see the TWR on the SM2011

im coming, just looking at ferry prices.

I have some questions, some of them maybe obvious?!

Just wondering is this a show type show or a simple meet type thing?
Will there camping facilities / or somewhere close where we can pitch up / cheapish hotel?
Where exactly in Holland are we talking?
Are there any "cafes" nearby (lol not essential but handy to know!)

[Jeroen]

Can't give all details yet but it's supposed to be close to the city of Apeldoorn so you can check distances. City... so there's something to do, we plan to have a BBQ that night and we will look into hotels and campings at a later stage. What's going to happen: it might turn out to be the largest classic and youngtimer BMW event worldwide with show 'n shine competition, meet and an unbelievable heap of NOS for sale, and all of our own trunk sale stuff of course.

Not expecting to go for a drive that day but if there's enough interest we might do something on Sun perhaps like go to the aviation museum and have a flight in a DC3 for those interested, or even visit a driftday or something similar but that's all very premature for now. Largest get together should be enough and we'll make sure you'll be kept busy that day. Also working on getting some real special sharks there.

ok no worries, I dont know if i can do the other stuff on the sunday - although dont mind a nice drive if its on the way back to the ferry europoort as I will need to be getting back to the UK.

looking forward to a nice long road trip and to meet the euro guys, please keep us updated.

[Jeroen]

We will definitely keep you posted but I can guarantee you it will be fun and worth while. Much better than last year and that was already great fun, ask Aydin about it!

[Mcinek]

This year I'm going to be there for sure.

[Jeroen]

That's good news Marcin!

[nas80]

hey guys, any more updates on this? I would like to book the ferry next week maybe?

[323baur]

Actually no, Definite date is the 11th of june. It will be in Apeldoorn, near the M1 highway.
We as organisation need to look at the place it selves en settle some details. You will hear asap, probabely aprox 20 february. Then we have all the details.
We will try to organize some arrangements to sleep - Hotel or Camping.

I think it's the best to wait to book until the 20th Febr!
I really do not think that there will be any changes, but to be sure..
I hope you'll have some patience, it will be worth!!

[nas80]

i am excited so no patience

I think if you book the ferry more sooner it is more cheaper you see. No worries though I understand that orgnaising such a thing is a big mission.

I would like to help in some way..

Any other UK guys going? Please put your name down so that maybe we can all meet in one place here and drive over there together? If i can get an idea of how many, pending on what 323baur / Jeroan say is happening, I can start organising accomadation for our group too or see if I can get a discount for the ferry?

Hi Nas, when i booked last year it cost £15 each way but all the same your right i think we should start to make a name list of defo going, also what day would we leave the UK then return. Maybe we could leave on friday & do a detour via the Nurburgring during the day amsterdam at night then a nice early start for the 30/40 km trip to apeldorn.
.just an idea......ayds
