The MGF Register Forums

Hi everybody,

as had been made public at this year’s Niederrhein Tour, it was meant to be the last weekend event as usual. Nevertheless, I implied that I already had something different on my mind. Well, now this has been finalised and here we go: It will be a Grand Tour, a one week drive, going along the whole (more or less) of the river Rhine, from its source in Switzerland to where it drops its name in Holland. Not an easy one, 110 to 145 miles or five hours per day, but definitely an interesting event to attend. This could also fit in nicely with the 2018 European Event of the Year, which is the weekend before and is located “just down the road” from our starting point.

As this involves a little more planning and support, I have now resorted to make this an official MGCC Germany event, but you do not necessarily have to be a Car Club member to participate. Strongly recommended though, anyway!

You can find all information in the attached PDF file, registrations will open in a couple of weeks.

Looks an amazing tour Michael

Having done this (but not in one go) I can say it is a fantastic drive -- might be tempted to do it Mykel .

Would be great to have you on board, Ted!

Thanks Mykel will look at it a bit more in the New Year.

Merry Christmas to all

Mrs Green Squirrel (Karin) says please mark us as in!

The website http://www.mgf-tours.de has now had a major update. Registrations will open on 7th January, with the Houten auto jumble in Holland, where the flyers will be handed out.

Please make sure that you register through the web site!

Danke Mykel

Registration for this event is now open

Thanks Col, you beat me this time.

Hi Mykel Re 2018 Rhine Tour

I have registered but I am away at present but will arrange the deposit as soon as we are home - probably by next weekend.

Regards

Ted & Karin Newman

That's great progress Mykel and great to see some new people in addition to the regulars

Great to see Alan and Jette from Denmark joining you. Such great people but sadly it's been a couple of years or more since I last saw them


And the lovely 1300 convertible to, they are a lovely couple to, I've met them several times on Luxembourg events

We are making it the central part of a ''Grand Tour'' !! And it's good to see that us along with Scarlet means two of the oldest MGFs will be on the Rhine.

Karin and I are looking forward to seeing a lot of you as well as visiting new and old places.

It is good to see 8 of the cars are F's, and 7 of them are Mk1!
At many events TF rules nowadays, and I feel a bit of a special driving a '96 F, the oldest car of the lot. This time mine is not the oldest by far

We are very much looking forward to the GRAND TOUR and thanks Colin for your kind words, and our best wishes to you and Steffi.
Looking forward to meeting you all in August.
Jette and Alan

We both miss you so much. It's ages since we saw you last, but was so much fun

Step by step the number of participants is rising, up to now Two Brittish cars, one from Sweden, a bunch of German cars and a single one from the downstream country. Join in so that the international part of the group gets a bit bigger in number.

This really does look good, but sadly not possible for Steffi and I.

Would've been nice to see Jette & Alan again but alas we can't fit this in either
