This could turn into a 'Transeurope BXpress'... The area I'm going to be heading for is about 50KM north of the Austrian border, near a place called Chesky Krumolv (?). When I do this expedition is an open question at the moment, but I would have thought the Spring is the best idea. If anyone wishes to make up a convoy (and especially if there's a mix of mechanical know-how!), who knows - we could do something!

Yay, I've been to ?eský Krumlov, back in 1994 on a Prague tour with my County Youth Orchestra. Nice place! Also ?eské Bud?jovice, home of Budvar or "Budweiser".

I guess the thing is to find out how many my mate could put up in his farm! Then we could all drink a few Budvars...

I will of course, need to say, 'whoah' and not rush into organising some sort of cannonball run until some details have been worked out! :D

I have a couple of route options - one taking me via Munich and the other via Regensburg/Swienfurt (excuse spelling - no atlas handy!). I have spent some time in Munich in the past but never got to see the BMW museum, maybe this time?...

I would be looking at one overnight in Brussels prior to an overnight stop in Munich (possibly) and ending up in the Czech Rep. Return trip migh involve a detour to Linz... I need to give this all some thought.

Happy New Year everyone

Bruxelles to Munchen in a day is a long drive! I wouldn't drive down the street to see the BMW museum. If you are going via Mulhouse, that is a different story altogether...

Excuse my ignorance, but what's at Mulhouse?

PS I appreciate Burxelles to Munich is a long way so I might well break the trip up differently. 500 miles in a day is about my safe maximum, given my experieces in France.

Some years ago, a carpet company went bust, owing the taxman lots of money and the principals fled to Switzerland. The money had secretly been spent on collecting and restoring Bugattis - about 300 of them. The Arts Minister seized them in lieu of tax debts as a national treasure. Like I said, just another car museum...

He teases indeed.Several years ago,I read a book about the place,what a facinating story.I've also seen several programs about the place and read several articles.If there's a place a petrol(or diesel :D ) head should go once in his life,this is it .I haven't been myself yet but one day I will

In 30 years' time, someone will write "Oh yes, (insert your name of choice) went bust a few years ago - the money had been spent on restoring vintage BXes in Walmington-on-Sea", and everyone will go "OOOhh, sounds great, when can we go?"

Dream on....
