my trip in europe(summer 09)

[ij1889]

soooo... when i ordered my c30 they told me it be here at the end of november or beginning of december but they are experiencing alot of fucking delays... so what i just went ahead and did was delay it till spring or summer... but i did it for one reason, osd(over seas delivery) what this does is volvo gives me 2 free plane tickets to sweeden and back(whenever date i choose), a nights stay at the hilton, a tour of the c30 factory, and then i can do whatever i want in europe, so i am going to go from sweeden to barcelona(i have a uncle there and have my car shiped from there) any one have and places that are must stops???

im just tossing around ideas so nothing is set in stone(europe destinations)

I'll take your extra plane ticket.

But I really enjoyed France and Belgium. England was nice but really expensive. I lived in France for about 2 months so that might be why it's my favorite. Everything from the food, countryside to the women were beautiful.

Don't forget this needed accessory!!!

The C30 Hood Scoop is designed to appear to be force feeding air into the engine bay while complementing the exterior lines
of the front of the vehicle.
The Hood Scoop comes pre-painted in 8 different colors.

:ban: isnt this the on point section???

lol i should auction it off on the site, highest bidder comes along. lol jk



im going to try to have saved up $4k for the drive to barcelona and stuff but if i do fall short of that they also offer...

rome $995 3 nights in a 4 star hotel "in the heart of the tourist attractions", private round trip transfers from airport to hotel, and then 2 nights in Gothenburg. and of course breakfast

dublin $885 3 nights in a 3 star hotel "near dublins main shooping area and a variety of pubs", private round trip transfers from airport to hotel, and then 2 nights in Gothenburg. and of course breakfast

does not seem to shaby for the price, im thinking maybe spend a extra week touring my somewhat motherland (i am 1/4 sweedish) with about $2k from just me and $1-2k from my friend steven.

what do yall think?

I'd want to see Rome and parts of Germany, oh and a car worthy of the autobahn, maybe a lap around the ring too! Sounds like a pretty awesome setup, I'd love to see Europe, I'll offer $12 for the plane ticket :)

[ij1889]

and the bidding starts i got $12 dollars from matt, anyone anyone??? thats if my friend doesnt go through with it.

and yes i would actually get to drive my c30 i ordered once i get to sweeden

Go through Germany, whatever you do. I visited Koblenz, Mannheim, Mainz and Heidelberg, flew from Frankfurt. Heidelberg is a great "old" city with lots of history. Great food and beer.

That sounds like an awesome time... I'd love to visit Sweden and/or Norway someday. I though it was mostly the higher-end companies that put on these kinds of deals though.... I guess I'll have to keep this in mind next time I buy a European or Japanese car.

[DrWebster]

Would you pick the car up in Sweden then drive it to Spain yourself to get shipped?

I bet if you talked to the right people, you could arrange to be at the Mazda museum/factory tour at the right time to see your car get built.

im not seeing my car get built, im picking it up there and driving it where ever i want, they just do a little tour of how its made

I would do some serious research on the exchange rates. You can have a lot more fun, for a LOT less money if you go to the right locations. Poland, Czech republic, and other more "exotic" locations might be your best bet. London and Paris have been done to death, everyone has gone there. I say go beyond the ordinary. Eastern Euro chix are the hottest on the planet and they love 'Mericans!

One good idea is to visit a travel agent and say that you are thinking of taking a Euro trip, don't put any money down and just see what the person says/ideas/suggestions. I'm sure they know more about European travel than anyone here does.
