the hotel sonne is a *** (http://www.hotelsonneandermatt.ch/), which pius' guesthouse is not(http://www.gasthaus-skiclub.ch/), but the rooms pius is offering are great. btw, these are both about 100 meters away from each other.
thanks for the links Trevi-Bros, pffffffffffffffffffff hope the snow will be f**** off till we arrive?
Anyone driven the Tremola with a Maranello ? If hairpins are as tight as the Stelvio, I will cause a trafic jam, reversing back and forth in every turn Any preview on the rest of the program ? To make things easy, I never drink alcohol and can't stand cigarette smoke (intolerant ex-smoker). I know, I am a freakin' entertainer. Maybe we should go for a sunrise dash/photo session to the Oberalp/Lukmanier while happy party people take good care of their carefully honed hangover ... Which of the two hotels is the quiet one ?
Hello dear ???????, so the Pius guest house is not recommendable / a quiet one for you: -We drink a lots -We smoke like hell -We know how to party till sunrise ....but we are all tolerant & considerate to the rest (?) who don`t I don`t know who has already logged in for the "Hotel Sonne" but after I have had the pleasure to meet over 50% of the participants.....I`m not sure if this will be a quiet one Recommendations?: Take a tent, drive somewhere in the mountains, its totaly quiet there, no smoke, fresh air, no alcohol, enjoy the sunset and sunrise Sorry, for kidding and my sarcastically humor but its a meeting, drive out and party of a big community of funny, lucky, crazy guys enjoying a weekend with friends. Yours Wolfgang
As PMed to Trevi,we are coming. As by then we will be back to Italy (mud island a memory, future uncertain...) we will not be able to meet Wofgang and the rest of the group in Germany. See you all in Andermatt. Ciao Eugenio
That's fine I'll figure out something Camping with cows around is an option. No intention to impose our lifestyle on others, it's just that the reciprocal isn't too fun either. Everyone has his own ways of enjoying meeting people. Any hint about the Tremola ? Too tight for a 550 or not ?
for sure each 355, 348, 328, 308 will work much better on this road! Your 550 or my testarossa are nearly impossible to drive thru the damn narrow corners in a one...I`m sure we have to reverse back/forth.... CU Wolfgang
C'mon, Wolfgang, it cannot be so bad. A little bit of oversteer every now and then?? It will be fun!! Ciao Eugenio
Hi Eugenio, yeah for sure I can take each curve at once.....with the pedal to the metal slide around the corner in a drift. But my last set of tyres f**** off with this way of driving after just 1.500km!!!! The oversteering is indeed a big, big problem of the testarossa. I have had some strange situations on our last drive to Italy.
nah nah Wolfgang..you are already scaring off ze_shark. Even if he drinks no alcohol (good idea..he will live longer than us), it is a very nice guy that happen to work in the computer industry like me. He just cannot choose between the 355 and the 550...damn..what a difficult choice..haha. My choice is very simple : Toyota Starlet or 360 Spider... And he knows a lot about our F-cars so it is good company for me...hehe. But who cares, everybody will have a good time in Andermatt. A bunch of interesting people with interesting cars and interesting jobs (I do not want to add "with interesting ladies"..haha). Didier.
hey wolfie ! Did you get your car checked out for that strange "horsepower loss" esp. on highways ? And do you really want to do that Tremolo road with your wide beast ? Didier.
Hello Didier, it was no ofense to ???? just like I have typed: "Sorry, for kidding and my sarcastically humor but its a meeting, drive out and party of a big community of funny, lucky, crazy guys enjoying a weekend with friends." But sorry and my appologize...maybe a bit to strange I`m sure he is a great one, most of you (the Swiss gents) knows him and we will have a great time all together! Happy looking forward to meet some more fchatters. About the Tremola: Sadly, I have no change to choose between several Ferraris. I will drive the Tremola with my beast!!!...just another challenge Yes, we are still searching for the lost horses....I`ll be tomorrow again at my garage master - working against the understeering problem and the lost cavallinos. I`ll do my very best CU soon
i don't know Stelvio, but Splügen, a pass which has several hairpins which i can't take in once. i did the tremola twice yet, downwards and upwards and had no problems. i also don't know, how the 550 turns in comparison to my mondial. however, some care is appropriate due to the cobble stones.
Trust me, it's wayyyy worse. That big engine between the front wheels gives the 550 the turning radius of a super-tanker. A real disaster.

to finally respond to your other questions: - you don't drink alcohol...laugh about us the morning after but, joke apart, in one of the best bars in andermatt they will offer special non-alcoholic drinks for us ferrari-drivers. - intolerant ex-smoker: we hope, we can handle that somehow, but i promise, i will not smoke in your car - quiet hotel: up to now, all have reserved for pius's guesthouse, which offers 9 rooms in total, so this one will definitely not be quiet , i would recommend you the "sonne"
Trevi, Thanks for all the excellent arrangements!! I have just done an online transaction and my money should be in the above account on Thursday, July 8. Please confirm with me when the EUR 200 appears in the account. Could you please reserve a room with a double bed for Mark Pautz & Debra Childs in the same place that you and Wolfgang will be staying. That sounds like the PIUS, not so?? I hope the parking is under roof! Bis den, MARK
sorry to all, but i found out, that i have indicated the wrong IBAN code. the correct code is CH25 0482 3095 6103 8100 3 btw: if your bank tells you that an IBAN code has to have 19 digits, tell them to omit the country code "CH" and then you have your 19 digits.

Hi Trevi, I need to go in to the branch to do this, which I can do tomorrow. Apparently it takes 5-7 working days, so should be with you if not by the end of next week, then the beginning of the week after. Looking forward to it! Hedgemeister
Trevi, What's the program for thursday 19.08 ? Do we meet in the afternoon or already in the morning ? Just asking to know if I take already a holiday on wednesday... Didier.
