I might come and meet you in Italy!

Stelvio would be closest to you mate

Note of advice: when going down from Col de Turini to Nice, lock your doors. Plenty of guys on motorbikes jump you at the traffic lights, grab purses and dissapear in distance through the traffic. Learned it the hard way :evil:
No such problems in Monaco, but the outskirts of Nice are not as the name implies nice

And when you're in Monaco make sure the leader knows his way around the track :lol:

Nah, that is straightforward. Can't miss it, although you won't be able to drive it all the way through as it is not in permanent use. At the place where is the new Chicane (after the tunnel), you have to go straight by the tree Karl Wendlinger hit in 1993. By the pool complex is parking place and it will most probably be blocked by cars. Be prepared for start and stop traffic, as it is norm there…
But in every garage in Monaco (and there are plenty of them) the first hour is free. So you can park your car for nothing, every hour take it out and take another ticket and it will cost you nothing!

We parked in the Marina for an hour and I was surprised it was only 1 Euro.

And you can buy only 15 minutes at rate of a quarter of Euro. Monaco is, contrary to the general perception not expensive at all. You can have a lunch or dinner for surprisingly normal ammount of money, unless you visit Cafe de Paris or Hotel de Paris at Monte Carlo square. There it gets ugly... :roll:

 

[tuonokid]

We just had a soft drink at one of the Cafes just up the steps from the car park and it seemed to be the same price as the rest of France.

Happy days :grin: This will be a brilliant trip for anyone who hasn't done it before.

Just a thought as well, check your insurance before you go as some companies can be funny about Principalities as they may not be classed as Europe zone.

 

[Wild E. Coyote]

TBH, Monaco is pure magic when Rally is on :wink:

 

[Cartman]

This sounds like fun, but I need some more info, whit the baby on the way I can't just upp and go whenever I want anymore :/

 

[Davedrave]
