the volvo road trip
|
Eindeutig die spaßigste Art, zu Volvo Snowbombing zu reisen, die deutlich mehr Gaudi bringt, als auf einem Billigflug Ölsardinen zu spielen! Der Volvo Road Trip ist ein absolut unvergessliches Erlebnis – eine farbenfrohe, gemütliche, musikalisch motivierte Autofahrt, auf der Snowbomber aus ganz Großbritannien und Europa auf verschiedene Stars und Bands treffen, darunter Professor Green und Example (die übrigens buchstäblich auf zwei schwedische(n) Topmodelle(n) abfahren, nämlich den Volvo S60 und V60). |
TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS!
|
2011 wird der Volvo Road Trip gesamteuropäisch erweitert: Neben Hunderten Musikfans, die ab unserem Ausgangspunkt Volvo Lipscomb in Maidstone (Großbritannien) reisen, fällt der Startschuss jetzt auch für Abfahrten ab Deutschland (Berlin), Holland (Amsterdam) und Italien (Mailand). Nach einer gemütlichen Fahrt von Großbritannien, Amsterdam und Deutschland aus legen Fahrer und Besatzung eine willkommene Übernachtungspause in Frankfurt ein, bevor sie am folgenden Nachmittag kurz vor Mayrhofen zu ihren italienischen Kollegen stoßen. Anschließend geht es in einem triumphalen Konvoi durchs Zentrum von Mayrhofen, wo unsere Helden von den Anwesenden mit Jubel und Humpta-Musik begrüßt werden – ein ganz und gar unvergesslicher Zieleinlauf!
Please Note: Full Details of the 2011 Volvo Road Trip and European departure points will be announced Wednesday 19th January! Unfortunately the UK departure point on the Road Trip has now sold out. Please stay tuned to the website, Blog and Facebook site for full updates in the next coming weeks. |

Top Gear All The Way
All roads lead to Snowbombing 2011...The eminently enjoyable exodus revs off from Lipscomb Volvo Maidstone dealership. All Snowbombers receive a full set of directions and a bunch of random tasks to complete en route... before heading south in a mass exodus across the Channel to Calais. Then onto an overnight refuel with frothy beer and tasty sausages before heading off the next morning for the snow-capped peaks of Austria... Upon arriving in the Alps, all the cars parade triumphantly right up the Haupt Strasse (high street to you girls) in Mayrhofen, the home of Snowbombing and party capital of the Alps...

The Volvo Snowbombing Road Trip is NOT a race or a rally! – it's more a leisurely European adventure for up to five passengers per car. As any agony aunt will tell you, 'It's not how fast you can do it, it's all about the fun you have doing it' - So think camaraderie rather than competition, we enjoyed the view out of all the windows, not just the front one... after all, you know what they say, 'half the fun is getting there!'

Warum Sie den Road Trip auf keinen Fall verpassen sollten
|
Internationale Asphaltritter auf dem Weg zum Hof "This is a great way to get to Snowbombing. Taking part in the rally squeezes in another few days of fun, and unlike a mundane low-cost flight, it will be something people can talk about years later." Gareth Cooper, Snowbombing head honcho ‘The kind people from Snowbombing had hooked us up with a sweet Volvo XC70 four wheel drive luxury motor to kill it across the tarmac of the autobahn and travel in style to the event. We were understandably pretty stoked on this – if you’ve ever driven around in a car that’s as comfy as your living room sofa and has more gadgets to play with than NASA HQ then you’ll know how I felt (cue smug smile).’ Whitelines

The Route and Schedule
Full details for this will be released nearer to the event, but here is a rough guide of what you can expect.
Departure Party
For people travelling vast distances to meet at the start point, we advise staying at a local hotel the night before (details announced later). |
![]() |
The First Leg:
Start Point to DoverHead South down the M20 quicker than a former Page 3 girls prized assets and board the Ferry to Calais (the ferry crossing is all included in your entry fee) – (we've got more empty car parking spaces than the NCP on Xmas Day)! Dover East Ferry Terminal is your first target. Go, Go Go!!! |
![]() |
The Second Leg:
|
All aboard... Ferry - Dover to CalaisAll aboard for a veritable voyage of cross channel cross-dressing and piracy on the poop deck. Snowbombing have their very own private room for the journey... host for a manner of naughty nautical knees ups courtesy of our resident mischief makers Squeaky Hill. The ferry is a great opportunity to mingle and meet everyone before you hit the third leg. |
![]() |
The Third Leg:
Calais to Overnight PitstopGlide through the land of great wine, fantastic cheese, onion sellers on bikes and handballing footballers to the land of, erm, frankfurters, cold cabbage, trains which run on time and frustratingly successful penalty takers. So enjoy the view, stop off and chat to the locals in your pigeon French & German (don't forget to see the drivers manual for essential phrases)... but please whatever you do, drive on the right! |

The Stopover:
Location TBCWe will spend the night in a lovely European city... A good chance to chill out and relax, with a little Volvo Snowbombing get together in the hotel. For those who are feeling a little more adventurous, we will have arranged guestlist discount at a local club ; details to follow. |

The Hotel:
2011 Hotel TBC.In 2010 we took over the whole Achat Plaza Hotel exclusively for Snowbombers, offering some great discounted rooms. Located just a stone's throw away from the infamous Cocoon club and restaurants. The night was certainly an interesting one! We will be finding an equally lavish hotel at our NEW overnight stop, so expect to pay around a similar rate to last year. Details released soon. |
![]() |
The Fourth Leg:
Overnight Pitstop to MayrhofenAfter awaking to more ham and eggs than 'The Annual Ham & Egg Awards', we hit the highway and witness the throng of the autobahn, as giggling repeatedly at lots of signs saying 'AUSFAHRT'. |
![]() |
The Final Leg:
Arrival Procession & Awards PartyWe all gather just outside Mayrhofen before arriving at Snowbombing to a huge fanfare and hullabaloo; Our oom-pah band plays, flags wave, crowds line the streets and every car is applauded across the finish line. No worries about our chequered histories, we were still show the chequred flag and are vigorously applauded for our achievements. |
|
Entertainment & Activities
Fun, fun, funThis trip sees you burn more rubber than Russell Brand in a fetish club, see more white lines disappear than a rock group touring Bolivia and cross more borders than an on-the-run prisoner. In fact the Road Trip IS an event unto-itself and WITH so many slightly unhinged, spirited souls taking part it can be best described as 'Ice Road Truckers' meets 'It's a Knockout'! This Is NOT a race or a rally, it's a Road Trip. |

Squeaky Hill
Snowbombing's resident mischief makers...Squeaky Hill have the enviable task of keeping our teams entertained whilst crossing Europe; generally bringing a bit more of a Whacky Races feel to the rally whilst sprinkling the motorways with many a cheeky grin…Teams can expect outrageous cabaret, a sea farin' pub quiz on the ferry and range of activities to complete at all of the five pre-arranged pit-stops. The ultimate goal is to gain as many points as possible and become the Overall Road Trip Champions.

Pleasurable Pitstops!
and Activities along the wayNever has refuelling been so much fun! En route you have to make some very pleasurable pitstops indeed - in addition to the essentials (you know, having a wee, hitting the unleaded and raiding the confectionary shelves), you are also set a series of tasks. These often reflect the culture of where you are at the time and may include collecting photographic proof (so don't forget yer camera!).

TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS!
|
2011 sees the pan-European expansion of the Road Trip - In addition to 120 cars setting off from our departure point in the UK, the Volvo Road Trip will also be putting its foot down across start lines in Germany (Berlin), Holland (Amsterdam) and Italy (Milan)!
After a leisurely drive from the UK, Holland and Germany, drivers and their crews will make an overnight pleasurable pit stop in Frankfurt, before making a rendezvous with their Italian 'brothers in seatbelts' the following afternoon, just outside Mayrhofen (Snowbombing HQ) - where they will meet and greet one another in an atmosphere best described and unleaded and slightly unhinged!
Please Note: Full Details of the 2011 Volvo Road Trip and European departure points will be announced Wednesday 19th January! Unfortunately the UK departure point on the Road Trip has now sold out. Please stay tuned to the website, Blog and Facebook site for full updates in the next coming weeks. |

Why you cant miss it...
Highway hilarity all the way to the Hoff...Taking part in the Road Trip is a once-in-a-lifetime assault on international asphalt. How many people get to take part in an international motoring event? In addition to stretching your Volvo Snowbombing experience, it's also a great way to make new friends and take in the sights, sounds and smells of different countries and as a part of travelling circus of celebrities, media and high-octane fun! "This is a great way to get to Snowbombing. Taking part in the rally squeezes in another few days of fun, and unlike a mundane low-cost flight, it will be something people can talk about years later."
