oldmandon 1 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm planning on going to this next year. What I want to know from all you hardened show goers is how much of a trek is it, also how long do you lot go for, do you stay either side of the show? finally WHO is going?

Nex 17 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I was looking at this a month or 2 ago as it is something l would love to do, but if l remember right it was going to cost me a little more then £500 just for fuel, let alone all the other bits, and as soon as my mates saw the distance we had to drive they all started going on about how they would rather fly! (miserable sods lol), so not too sure if l will still be going will have to let you know closer to the time Link to post Share on other sites

Abi 0 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 mention Worthersee and I appear..... ha ha ha We have been going since 2004.... my advice is ... Go... and go for as long as you can... We go for a week to 10days, including a few days before it all starts properly. Reifnitz is very quiet then but there are lots of little forum/club meetings around, we came across a cracking meeting of Rallye Golfs and stuff at the Pyramidenkogel days before the event.Some people do go home before it all starts properly, but there's just so much there that you would never know you'd missed out, on the main days the traffic all around is just full of motors....The dates for 2012 are 16th - 19th May... However as i said the show starts about a week/10days before with mini meets... so its totally up to you when you go... we will be leaving on saturday 5th and will take a few days to travel down and then leave the following Saturday evening to start the trip home so we can be back in work for the Monday. Unlike in England they do not have a show on the Sunday....but be aware The Germans do love to party, and don't really seems to have a noise curfew... but it's not like pissed-up English tourists abroad, it's noisy and all that but it's not aggressive or violent, I've never once felt intimidated about walking around in the evenings amongst crowds of people. It's ace....We stay in a self-catered guest house in one of the villages around the lake, called Pörtschach am Wörthersee. But theres campsites all around, and B&B's and Hotels too....there's a lake shuttle boat or speed boat taxis to help get around if you can't be doing with driving tooThe journey takes about 18-20 hours non-stop going via the Tunnel, although we tend to break it up these days... staying in stuttgart or munich and visiting a motor museum... like BMW, Merc, Porsche etc etc... We have pretty much done them all so I can tell you more if you wanna know.... and the same again on the way home....2011we covered around 2500 miles which included cruising round the lake! in my Audi Diesel is much cheaper than Petrol... Fill up in Austria, and Belgium.. rather than France or Germany... and like the UK off the Motorways is cheaper, luxembourg is the cheapest place for fuel The total cost of the holiday does depend on where you stay around the lake, on the route down or back... what type of car you take, diesel or petrol, how many of you in the car... usually we spend around £600 each, The entry to the show which is 10 euros for the 4 days....you have to pay to use the toilets... but they are ALWAYS clean as they have a person outside.Eating out isn't too bad either... couple of euro for chips... or we paid 8 euro for a really nice home made pizza within Reifnitz.Beer is cheap in the supermarkets too.. under a euro for 1/2 litreNot sure what else you wanna know.... you can check out our pictures from the last few years we have gone... 2011http://www.flickr.com/photos/retromotoring/sets/72157626899401672/with/5848924395/2010 2009 2008 2007 Link to post Share on other sites
