I know, I know bloody hell Phil how early shall we start thinking about this lol.
I was just toying with next years trip to the Dinslaken Porsche Show as I have been for the past two years with a group of guys and girls from 911uk. Normally what happens between now and xmas is several itineries form and guys join whichever group they like the idea of and then we all meet at the tryp hotel the evening before the show have some laughs a meal and all go to the show the next morning . There are 2000 ish Porsches at the show making it one of the biggest Porsche events in the world , the past two years the whole trip has been fun having a laugh and catch up with old 911uk members and meeting new 911uk members.
As the show is always on a German bank holiday 1st May the day of the week changes each year enabling us to plan different itineraries and take in new sights.
This year the show falls on a Wednesday ,so I was thinking about a Monday to Thursday trip and was toying with this itinerary
Monday . meet other members enroute or at the tunnel around 10am drive to Stuttgart . have a meal at the famous Christophorus Resturant (this is only an idea and if there's another preference to eat at then we can look at that option). stay in hotel TBC. 8hr drive from calais with coffee stops.
Tues , Visit the Porsche museum and maybe a factory tour if time and availability allows us to do both. early afternoon drive to the tryp hotel in Oberhousen arrive for about 5.30 to meet the other 911uk members arriving from the other ittineries or on their own ,its approx 4hrs drive .
Wed, Attend the show then( mid afternoon drive to the classic remise in Dusseldorf as its so worth a visit and only 20mins from the hotel), return to the tryp hotel for another evening of merriment with 911uk members who dont have to return to the UK Wed.
Thursday
breakfast .f(ollowed by a drive to the classic remise in Dusseldorf as its so worth a visit and only 20mins from the hotel) then head back to the tunnel 5 hrs with a coffee stop or two. get something like a 16.00 train and all head our seperate ways after a coffee in the tunnel services in the UK.
The classic remise visit is an option to do on the wed afternoon or the thurs morning, we can confirm which closer to the time as its open early until late.So I have added it in both but it will be only on one unless of course you want to go twice in which case your free to do that lol.
If this itinerary looks interesting to any of you let me know and if enough interest I will ask Longers from FASTTRACK tours to take over the organisation and booking of hotel, tours ,show tickets etc etc. as they did a great job organising and booking the itinerary I was on in 2017 .
Anyone noting interest now , you are not commiting to anything, just saying your interesed and we know that work and life commitments mean some may drop out before the final bookings are made ,and others may jump in at the very last minute .
Here's the pics etc from the 2018 trip .
