2011-06-17..19 - NO - International meeting in Norway June 17th - 19th 2011

Zitat von Noggie;86747

It is the quickest route, only downside is that you will end up close to the camping and follow the same route as we will drive from the camping on Sunday to the hotel.
You will see the scenery twice unless you decide to take the same ferry home, then you will probably leave us on the mountain on Sunday and go towards Oslo as we head back down to the e39 main road.

Nothing wrong with seeing a nice scenery twice or even more often. I haven't decided yet what I'll do after the official part of the meeting. Once I'm up there I might as well take a few more days off and enjoy the country.

Fabrice,

use Google maps. Works great for this purpose. Since you'll be going via Germany I can email you a word document which I made today with various routing options incl. prices, ferries etc.

@all coming from the west (France, Belgium, Netherlands etc.) going through Germany

Google maps recommends to go via Bremen (A1 / E37). Do NOT take this route. It is mainly just two lanes with trucks all over plus 120km/h speed limit. It absolutely sucks. Go via Hannover instead (A2 / E30). Not a big detour but much faster.

Wolf,

Yes i would be interrested in your document.
Thanks for help.
Fabrice

....

Really appreciate the thread in the German section of the forum.
Lets me refresh my German language skills that I learned in school almost 20 years ago, and hardly used since

Hallo Egil,

da kann ich Dir gerne helfen. Aber erwarte nicht, dass ich Norwegisch lerne.

Hi everyone,

I confirm you Antonin and i are driving in the same car (mine). We are not coming with our respective wives... then we can catch up with norwegian girls!!!

Terje i sent you all the details you needed for Antonin and myself.

Dick, we might be leaving on wednesday from Paris around 2pm and drive some 770kms approx. 7hrs 15mns drive to Hanover going through belgium and through dusseldorf then take A2 like Wolf suggested. Sleep in Hanover then leave on thursday early morning around 5:15max for 674kms approx. 6 hrs drive then we hopefully manage to take the 12:15pm ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansand at 2:40pm and drive to Stavanger approx arrive 6:30pm or more.
So if you want to catch up it will be with pleasure.
Fabrice

Hehe.
You can help me

Norwegisch ist eine der schwierigsten Sprachen der Welt lernen, so dass ich nicht erwarten

Ich spreche besser als ich schreibe
und meine Grammatik ist sehr schlecht.

My English however is perfect.

Alles anzeigen

I strongly disagree on your German language skills.
Dein Deutsch ist fast perfekt und vermutlich besser als das vieler Eingeborenen hier bei uns
Ich werde Dich aber im Juni ausgiebig testen
Und wenn es nicht klappt, weichen wir einfach auf unser perfektes Englisch aus

Egil,

So you say that there is no pb in driving at 140 150km/h on the danish highway? Isn't it 120?
Fabrice

Now I have booked rooms for 15 persons at Lysefjord
We have as of today 15 100% confirmed people on the list as well as 35 unconfirmed / Interested on the list.

Will wait a few day's more before we annonce this fully in the Norwegian community, to give International e31 drivers the best possibilities


I Have also earlier booked place for 35 Car's at the ferry , possibly a bit optimistic but seems like the interest is bigger then we have expected / hoped for so you never know

Regards
Terje

I'm am a huge fan of Rammstein, but it does take me a while before I get the lyrics.
I will admit, supercharged 850, Rammstein on the stereo and the German de-restricted Autobahn was a.... shall we say really fast experience last September

With these lines you almost convinced me to come as well!

Too bad my car isn't in as good condition that it need for a trip like this.

But next year perhaps...

We'll fix it, it's several weeks away, it's just a small electrical fault or ....

Well, if you are so nice to lend me your garage?

The strangest things happens when you drive your car all around the year. Yesterday I drove from Viared to Seglora. It was about 15 cm of snow-slush and the road wasn't plowed.

If I had stopped I would have get stuck, and there is nothing for 15km. So I kept a steady speed in third gear... Halfway through something cracked under the car and it started to sound strange. I kept an eye on oil and water and I was quite sweaty now.

I went straight to BMW and it was the cover under the gearbox that had folded backwards of all snow-slush.

Back ON topic. We'll see what happens, it sound like a really nice trip.

running on 285 summer tires?
I had no issues whatsoever during wintern and we had some serious snow. The only issue was, that sometimes my car has been the snow plow because it was too low to the ground.
