This has to be my most favorite event in all the 4x4 events that happen...
I know Gigglepin didnt have a good time out there this year but there is always next year! hopefully one day i would like to go out there when the event is on and just spectate it!
I'll have to give it a watch tonight after work I think
On another thought, I'd quite like to go do some off roading in eastern Europe!

Well, its only 1,110ish miles to Zabreb!
lets go! lol
Looks like a very interesting route choice. I dont know if I'd go the direct way:
France > Belgium > Germany > Austria > Slovenia > Croatia
or via Italy, or Switzerland....
France > Switzerland/Italy > Croatia
I just know the Italians do some really nice ice cream

1,110 miles is a fair chunck but you could do it in a few stages ie stop off do some light off roading in them countries
I think we should go the italy route I also believe they make some kick ass pasta!

Yeah I think camping would probably come in to play quite a lot!
It would be quite nice to do the trip there over 3 or 4 days... camp in france and italy...
If I was going to be around that region Id love to go find a bit of off roading up the Alps! Might as well when around there! May even find some proper snow!!!
OK then pasta and ice cream it is (the cornerstone of a nutritious diet!)

Whaaaaaat you don't like ice cream? Weirdo
This could be handy
Look at the pics, looks like some pretty good tracks!
I assume that as a motorbike is up there motor vehicles in general are allowed, would check first though obviously
Hate the stuff!!, and that road looks ubber cool!!, and yeah cant see why we cant pop into mg gual-Mini place allthough nothing takes my fancy!

Its in Northern Italy (thank christ) so its probably only about an hours diversion!
Even if we dont buy anything it would be funny to go an talk to some random Italian suzuki guys!
I would be interested in... the tank guards, the steering guard and probably some of their diff protectors... they look pretty sturdy and are bolt on!
