Hi Terje -

YES - but nothing formal.

At 1800 SATURDAY - we will take the RALLY TOUR BUS from VIE Altstadt to PRATER CIRCUS and eat at the SCHWEIZERHAUS BEER GARDEN - outside, casual, dirndles, jeans, rides - grilled foods etc...

The ALPINA RIESENRAD PARTY has been cancelled due to timing conflicts.

However, everyone can eat dinner wherever they wish at PRATER - or stay in VIE at a restaurant of their choice - or eat at our hotel...

The RALLY TOUR bus will leave PRATER for our hotel at 2100 - 850 pilots/crew can go to pRATER earlier, or later or not at all - or go back to the hotel whenever they wish to...
MY GOAL IS NO PRESSURE, NO STRESS...

Go here:

FINAL RALLY PLAN and PILOT/CREW ROSTER will be published 30 MAY

See you soon - Viking-at-Heart Jack

Unfortunately we can not come to the rally in Vienna, I'll email the hotel and cancel our room.
I hope you all will have a nice weekend in Vienna.

Hi Jimmy Boy -

Take the northern route posted by Micha - he is correct about Munchen.

Additionally, the route is shorter (1085 KM total), has less mountain curves and limits, usually less construction, more lanes and the biggest positive gain is you will avoid most of the annual German/Netherlands/UK SUMMER camping trek which will turn the southern route and Alpine Pass approaches into TIN GLACIERS

From the German border count on circa 8 hours to VIE - maybe 6 hours if all goes well - my best time from Mannheim to VIE was 4 hours 45 minutes in a BMW 325i on Easter Sunday morning starting at 0100 AM in 1987...

Cheers, Jack

hey Jack,
I know the Langue d'oc from south of France of course and Languedoc-Roussillon is a region located southern France and Montpellier is the main city. There is also a language from north of France with is called Langue d'Oil!

To all,
Anyway, I would like to ask you guys which one is the best route to take from Paris to Vienna?
We will take the A4 going East through Reims, Metz...
- Then either towards Saarbrucken A6/E50, A61, A6 all the way to Nurnberg and A8 towards Linz then A1 to Vienna.
- Or take A4 from Paris to Strasbourg then in Germany take the A5 to Karlsruhe and A8 towards Stuttgart and Munich then Salzburg and A1 towards Vienna.

Which route is best in terms of road quality 2 or 3 lanes, scenery, time according to traffic and work on the road, distance?

Please advise.
Many Thanks for help.

Hi Antonin -

Sorry Antonin, my planned Monday barbecue is a no go - due to heavy work load before, during and after the much bigger Rally than I had originally planned - but you are very welcome to stop by for a drink - it is more or less on the way west - with easy A-1 Autobahn connections.

Bergsiedlung 44, A-2572 Kaumberg

Cheers, Jack

Thanks Antonin!

Thank you Pawel...

Hey Fabrice -

It's my Provencal dialect or "Lenga d'oc" - you hoi-poloi Parisians just don't appreciate us country volk...

Hi Armin -

Please send me your handy number and a current list of your ALPINA GROUP cars and EXACTLY how many people will be in the PRATER RIESENRAD DINNER GROUP - we will need to coordinate carefully your transport from VIE ALTSTADT to PRATER and then back to the hotel.

Thanks, Jack

Hi Pawel -

Per our telecon - if the transfer is difficult for you - you can pay cash when you register.

Which hotel are you in now?

Thanks for calling...

Cheers, Jack

Yes of course - my typo error - sorry for that boys...END OF APRIL - PLEASE.

Yes sir!

Registration fees - only at 25 per cent?

Good morning troops -

So far have only received abut 25% of the confirmed attendee registration fees.

Please expedite and send your fees before the 31st of March.

Then we can focus on getting your group tickets for the events you select:

1. Donau River City Cruise

2. Stefansdome Cathedral Catacombs

3. Hofburg Crown Jewels Museum

4. Kaiser Crypt Burial Vaults

5. Ritterburg Medieval Fest

Prices and schedules and sign-up rosters will be posted next month.

Cheers, Jack

Hi Pawel -

Uh-oh - BAD IDEA - why did you pick the Jager Hotel? Who else is in there with you?

Didn't you notice there are no photos of the outside of the hotel - it is a dump - definitely NOT 4 STARS!

It is in the middle of the Turkish immigrant high-crime area, has no view, no grounds and no secure parking - your BMW will be scratched, robbed or stolen and you won't be getting too much sleep next to the trolley and railroad intersection?

I know this district well - have had to repaint BMW car doors TWICE due to scratches by vandals walking by on the street.

Very strongly recommend you rebook to the Galitzenberg as soon as possible - it is in the forest - near the main hotel and has a great city overlook and easy parking...

Yes - please send your registration fee by bank transfer before the end of march.

Call me if you have any questions at 0043-664-1230365

Best wishes, Jack

Thanks Thomas

Hi Martin!

Good point - I was wondering about that myself and was about to ask our old wise men...Thanks for your advice.

Please send me your handy number - need to discuss judges with you and Cristoph.

Thanks for the payment.

Cheers, Jack
