Looking on Google maps... yes, I think I did take the Umbrailpass.

When I see the stickered up Stelvio pass sign...I think "group photo" and when I see the quaint little swiss town, the hills are alive with the sound of music... What kind of driving music you guys bringing?

Guys this is going to be so much fun..how many days can you commit to this driving adventure? I'll probably be on the road for 4-5 days total.

I'll bring a "1Addicts" sticker for this sign!!!

Dackelone and I just spent some good quality time discussing the trip and he suggested that to avoid the crowds and tourists on our main road, perhaps we arrive 16 or 17 June and actually do the Stelvio-Davos drive on Monday the 18th. Just so you know, we will now also be looking for a hotel that can accommodate all of us in Nauders Austria. What are your thoughts?

Here is the latest roster I could find from page 3...please annotate what date would be best for you to arrive to Nauders and the best date to drive the Stelvio-Davos route. For those traveling from the western part of Germany and Belgium, on my way back to Heidelberg, I'll be stopping in Liechtenstein to add another country to my list

...

1: Rikx1M (Rick) - arrive 16 Jun, drive 17 or 18 Jun
2: Dackelone P/V (Dave)
3: Elsabor67 (Nick)
4: gs/e60/1m (Rudi)
5: FDM68 (Frank)
6: JK135i (Justin)
7: evolution80 (?)
8: Mr Kleen (Gabe)
9: comar1979 (?)
10: fourtailpipes (?)
11. racewar128I (?)
12. PlaXmas swiss (french forum)

If you are bringing another friend with his/her own car, annotate it as another entry on this list...thx

JK135i · 02-05-2012, 07:23 AM

I will probably be listening to As I Lay Dying through most of the trip.

Dackelone · 02-05-2012, 08:02 AM

Some food for thought...

Jeez.....we'd better bring some spare parts, jacks, repair kits, wire and duct tape...this could be ugly...

135i OREO · 02-05-2012, 08:21 AM

We're all going to need new brakes... lol

Doiing Stelvio on monday might be indeed the best time.

Ever considered doiing it at early sunrise/sundown ? Should deliver some awesome pics imo

JK135i · 02-05-2012, 10:21 AM

Elsabor67 · 02-05-2012, 11:22 AM

I have to think on the monday part. I was planning for sat-sun but I think I can pull a monday. But have to float the idea to the wife......

I just realized, i might be in ALS when this goes down, so no taking leave for me. Sat/sun driving only.

Dackelone · 02-05-2012, 10:34 PM

So it sounds like it would be best to do to Stelvio on Sat/Sunday for everyone? Does anyone else have some input on dates?

Mr Kleen · 02-06-2012, 12:51 AM

I'm flexable, I can take a day or two of leave if necessary and haven't planned anything for June yet. June 16 - 18 would be perfect.

I know, but if it wasn't for her constant nagging I wouldn't be where I am in life now and with the ride I have

At least for me it would be preferable. I can probably take monday but it all depends on whats going on at work and how desperate they need me.
