And if you don't dress up we'll just get you drunk and post a really embarassing photo of you on the blog!

I do hate it, but I will be dressed up I have no doubt Won't let you down. Won't be the first time I've appeared on you r blog whilst on a night out either. Last time was sitting on the floor outside the Marriot eating pizza at four in the morning

Accommodation is sorted. Have booked breakfast too, but if I make it down in time I'll be very surprised.

Ghent- Belgium
Nurburg-Germany
Lake Lausanne-Switzerland
Bergamo-Italy

Route will be planned soon, will definitly bear some of the above in mind. We've got all week so will be making the most of it. Due in Venice on Thursday morning.

Cheers guys.

Does anyone have their door signs yet?

No sign of mine.

Anyone sorted magnetic mounting? I see there were some early discussions on the IJ forum.

Andy, we did think about magnetics this year, which was the reason we odered our door panels early.

But after reading a horror story of someone that fitted magnetics to his car, which heated up in the sun and in turn scorched his paintwork, we thought better of it.

Also one local graphics company quoted £70 for a pair to get them mounted!

Good evening all from a very warm Modena

Just about got my trip down sorted out

Leaving Friday Morning at 0700 and travelling down to Lucerne - trying to book the Radisson hotel on points

Sunday travelling down to Bologna and staying in the old town until Wednesday morning - some social events organised with work colleagues.

Working in Modena on Monday and Tuesday - this gets my fuel costs for the whole trip covered as a business expense

Travelling up to Venice on Wednesday morning and siteseeing until the event starts on Friday.

Who will be in Venice early - lets meet up if possible and take in some sites

I will be at the ACE cafe on this Thursday night - managed to reschedule work activities so I am travelling back from sunny Modena on Wednesday night

See you all soon

Alan
