Looking forward to seeing you all.

I am only aware of ferries from Hirtshals in Denmark to Kristiansand or Stavanger in Norway, and the Kiel in Germany to Oslo in Norway routes.

We will try to keep this thread a live so that people can try to meet up a long the way here.

Really appreciate the thread in the German section of the forum.
Lets me refresh my German language skills that I learned in school almost 20 years ago, and hardly used since

Hallo Egil,

da kann ich Dir gerne helfen. Aber erwarte nicht, dass ich Norwegisch lerne.

Hehe.
You can help me

Norwegisch ist eine der schwierigsten Sprachen der Welt lernen, so dass ich nicht erwarten

Ich spreche besser als ich schreibe
und meine Grammatik ist sehr schlecht.

My English however is perfect.

[fabrice]

Hi everyone,

I confirm you Antonin and i are driving in the same car (mine). We are not coming with our respective wives... then we can catch up with norwegian girls!!!

Terje i sent you all the details you needed for Antonin and myself.

Dick, we might be leaving on wednesday from Paris around 2pm and drive some 770kms approx. 7hrs 15mns drive to Hanover going through belgium and through dusseldorf then take A2 like Wolf suggested. Sleep in Hanover then leave on thursday early morning around 5:15max for 674kms approx. 6 hrs drive then we hopefully manage to take the 12:15pm ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansand at 2:40pm and drive to Stavanger approx arrive 6:30pm or more.
So if you want to catch up it will be with pleasure.
Fabrice

I strongly disagree on your German language skills.
Dein Deutsch ist fast perfekt und vermutlich besser als das vieler Eingeborenen hier bei uns
Ich werde Dich aber im Juni ausgiebig testen
Und wenn es nicht klappt, weichen wir einfach auf unser perfektes Englisch aus

I have to admit I did use some help. I did write it first and then double checked with google translate.
Had too correct a few spelling and grammar mistakes

I have hardly spoken German since school, and not written any since 1993.

I think I will fail your test
And I think we will have to speak English very quick.

I'm am a huge fan of Rammstein, but it does take me a while before I get the lyrics.
I will admit, supercharged 850, Rammstein on the stereo and the German de-restricted Autobahn was a.... shall we say really fast experience last September

Oh. and my experience is that Denmark is covered in 3-3,5 hours. I just put my cruise control at 140-150kph.... no problem, police will start to take an interest in you when you pass 160kph.

[fabrice]

Egil,

So you say that there is no pb in driving at 140 150km/h on the danish highway? Isn't it 120?
Fabrice

[huldra66]

Now I have booked rooms for 15 persons at Lysefjord
We have as of today 15 100% confirmed people on the list as well as 35 unconfirmed / Interested on the list.

Will wait a few day's more before we annonce this fully in the Norwegian community, to give International e31 drivers the best possibilities


I Have also earlier booked place for 35 Car's at the ferry , possibly a bit optimistic but seems like the interest is bigger then we have expected / hoped for so you never know

Regards
Terje

Egil,

Fabrice

The speed limit in Denmark is 110 and 130. I usually drive 130 in the 110 and 150 in the 130. 20 over is no issue. Denmark is about 300km long, I usually drive through Denmark in about 3 hours when I'm going to Germany.
On the last leg to Hirtshals from Ålborg (about 80km) there is mostly just the ferry traffic, and very nice roads, so if you are running a little late you easy make up time there.

With these lines you almost convinced me to come as well!

Too bad my car isn't in as good condition that it need for a trip like this.

But next year perhaps...

[Pelle]

We'll fix it, it's several weeks away, it's just a small electrical fault or ....

[Iwarsson]

Well, if you are so nice to lend me your garage?

The strangest things happens when you drive your car all around the year. Yesterday I drove from Viared to Seglora. It was about 15 cm of snow-slush and the road wasn't plowed.

If I had stopped I would have get stuck, and there is nothing for 15km. So I kept a steady speed in third gear... Halfway through something cracked under the car and it started to sound strange. I kept an eye on oil and water and I was quite sweaty now.

I went straight to BMW and it was the cover under the gearbox that had folded backwards of all snow-slush.

Back ON topic. We'll see what happens, it sound like a really nice trip.

[wokke]

....

running on 285 summer tires?
I had no issues whatsoever during wintern and we had some serious snow. The only issue was, that sometimes my car has been the snow plow because it was too low to the ground.
