Seems that we have failed to have an AGM for 2 consecutive years now. Hopefully we can change that this year.
Is there any interest in a return to form this year. Hopefully if we start planning now we can get something in the diary before everyone gets booked up.
We could do the usual loop or another route if anyone has any ideas. Alternatively, if anyone wanted to make a weekend of it we could do a modified version of this http://www.exclusive-rentals.ch/en/alpine-tours/ba... though obviously not staying at Badrutts (possibly at the top of Stelvio so we can get an early clear run or two).

Shame, as I always enjoyed a little run through the alps
)Can't do June 18th as I've got another car related tour that weekend, though definitely interested.
I have to say the usual route is nice but driving in Switzerland has lost it's "fun" in recent years as I don't like the idea of being lumped with the "criminals" by simply doing something like a prompt overtaking maneuver! I'm sure it's MUCH safer to overtake at 82 km/h over a few football fields worth of roads as oppose to just getting it done.....
At least now us stinking auslanders won't be deported for getting a parking ticket.
Another suggestion, the scenery is not so spectacular but the road are really good in the Black Forest. It is also quite central....

Ditto the above..... would help with route planning/restaurant if required!I have to say the usual route is nice but driving in Switzerland has lost it's "fun" in recent years as I don't like the idea of being lumped with the "criminals" by simply doing something like a prompt overtaking maneuver!

Yes the alpine county is very harsh (and very racist) whereas in civilisation they do have "some" acceptance of drivers (probably because BaWü supplies most of the worlds high-end cars) 
Thats why so many cheese drillers are caught vastly exceeding the limits...... Mind you 160 on a B road would cost you your license... but the Schwarzwald roads are sometimes so tight that 60-80 feels too fast...
(All comments very tongue in cheek!)
