Re: 23-30 May'16 MG by the Sea Gabicce Mare, Italy
Did this party back in 2006 or so, Great event, and yes you are allowed to jump a red signal every now and then, drive at 50 MPH through villages with a copper taking you over standing on his saddle (oops we shouldn't tell )
Not to forget the best of all: Italian hospitality and Fantastic Food.
Should join again in the near future......
If you're lucky it might be possible to combine MG by the sea with a visit to the Mille miglia event.

night 2 Turin / Avigliana in Italy - I know 2 good places from my time working there

This sounds very tempting, are modern cars allowed to enter? On the linked website it says something like classic cars and some modern ones up to the 80's.

That's great, Col, I'll be putting this down in my calendar then. Hopefully I can manage this date to fit in my work obligations.

Re: 23-30 May'16 MG by the Sea Gabicce Mare, Italy
Maria’s is a brilliant idea as a meeting point. I had thought of Strasbourg, but the good old TdL HQ is much better.
I then thought to go down to Lake Constance, visit the Rhine cascade at Schaffhausen and go on to Chur. From there across the Lenzerhalde, Albula and Julier to the Lake Iseo near Bergamo, then on towards the Po river and down the coast to Rimini.
Return via Venice, Stelvio, Fernpass, Reutte, Dinkelsbühl, Heidelberg, Odenwald, Cologne.

Re: 23-30 May'16 MG by the Sea Gabicce Mare, Italy
Probably it will not be possible to do a huge number of mountain passes as it is only May. Stelio does not open unit (mid) June. Many other passes are closed too at that time of the year as we learned in 2006.
But plenty of nice alternatives....

I'm not a fan of the Stelvio, it's boring. Box ticked job done back in 2008 on the way to Zug.
We've got to think of total time away because of the dog.

I too might well be interested. Diane and I were thinking about this some years ago (Drive on roof of Fiat building etc), but things didn't work out unfortunately
My thoughts are an early Eurotunnel start, stop at the Novotel, Nancy, then plug on down.
