AGM 2024 Sun September 22nd Gaydon Motor Museum

Sorry to miss it, the Hawk & I will be mincing around the Stelvio etc... a chore but it has to be done

We went over the Stelvio both ways 41 years ago on my trusty Laverda Jota on our honeymoon. I have always promised myself a return trip in my Allora or even another bike so I am very envious, but then I'm possibly not up to it anymore.
I hope its not rammed with cyclists, walkers and dawdlers for you.

Twice up the twisty side in the Stratos, down the other side once, tested the brakes severely on the way down the twisty side. Also done it as a passenger in an Integrale. A very slow run up.. Stayed at the hotel at the top overnight and got snowed in..... It was cold that night. Very very cold.

Hey Tim, that sounds like a trip and a half mate. Yes get your son to take lots of pics and videos to post on here. Did the Furka and Grimsel passes in Switzerland back in 2010. Honeymoon in TVR T350. Great fun. If I made it in a TVR your Hawk will be a doddle. Safe travels!



Cheers!

Thanks Ade, car all prepped, brimming with spares! New level of paranoia when you know the idiot that built it!!! Hoping we can dodge the grim weather in Europe at the moment, earliest snow in decades.

As I understand it:

Take the first road at the roundabout near the main gates, rather than the second one which goes through the main gates. NOT where we were last year.
Show Parking yellow temp. signs are shown on Street View.
Follow the red dotted line on the .pdf map on Neil's post. Drive past a driving school area on the left.

Great AGM, good to see old and new faces.
14 hours with 2 hours on a ferry for 1 hour of AGM in the Northern rain, and the only Strato?s at the event

Thank you to all those that attended today, and braved the biblical weather!!
For me it was pretty epic on the way home as well, but used to it after the summer we've had!!

[ProtoTipo]

Big thanks to Griff, Norm, David and Robin. Thank you to Neil for setting the whole thing up.

I'll try and find out what forum providers other car clubs are using. As many as I can.

Much Kudos for making the journey from the IoW. Sorry we did not get to talk much longer. At my 1st Stoneleigh in 2010 or 2011 when I had just committed a deposit on all the bits, you helped me immensely by telling me what stands to visit and what catalogues to pick up.
I am a Pompey lad, so apologies in advance for the comments I am about to make.
Yesterday we talked about a Southern drive out. How about a circuit of the IoW. Some nice roads on the SW part from memory.
It is 50 years of the Stratos and my recollection of all my teenage trips to IoW was like going back in time 50 years - seems appropriate
