I'll be part of the organization crew for IMM 2013 at Mugello - Italy.
Was talking with Francesco today about setting up a TMF group from UK to Italy.
Just wondering if anyone is interested in this. I'm open to ideas/suggestions.
Cheers

I've been thinking about doing this next year. Any idea to how much the IMM is to get into? I couldn't find any prices on the website however I wasn't on it for long. The retro run cost me about £150-170 in petrol and this is twice as far so if anyone was wondering roughly the cost in fuel. My mini does about 37MPG when loaded with a fat mate and all our camping gear/spares/beer

I was aware of some kind of freight train that helped eat up some miles for the Hungary IMM. Maybe that could be used?

Me and my mate was on about going through part of Switzerland on route just for kicks

Switzerland route would be intersting. Keep ideas coming!
Registration NOW is 60 euros (about 50 quids) for fuel cost it depends on the route..all i can say is fuel price in italy is very high (and poor quality too), and motorway fees are pricey aswell. Of course a TMF group could be helpful also to keep travel cost down (food, fuel, beer etc).
The freight (LOL) train could be another idea, i have to say that this is the chance to have a little vacancy in italy, with our minis, at a very low cost, because location is really worth it under all aspects. Believe me it will turn out cheap even adding all travel expenses.

I'm under the impression the freight is for the mini and there's a cabin for you, not you in the car the whole way lol would be a boring view!

Also the price of fuel is about the same as it is here I noticed, but that was in Belgium and Germany. I wasn't in France long enough to need to fill up.

I've already started saving up for this trip haha

Geez! I paid 1 euro and 77 for the most expensive. Works out roughly the same as the U.K

Not just the U.K getting ripped off then haha

For info, if you don't fancy driving all the way there (& back) are still some motorail services left, not many but some....

I'm trying to get some infos on alternative services too. What is cheaper and what is better.
Lets start writing a list tomorrow lads, more than 1500 people have already reseved and places in the camp site will are not unlimited.
Of course there are alternatives, but i think the camping would be best (BBQ & Beer!!)
