Hi everyone. My name's Phil and I spend a fair amount of my time on Frech car forums and have a thing about Citroëns and France in particular. I am an active member of the Citroën Car Club (UK) and the BX Club. In 2009 I organised and took part in an event called (oddly) the BXagon Challenge in which eight BX's went from Calais to Calais, clockwise around the periphery of France... and raised in the end, about £6,500 for Cancer Research in the process. It was great fun - all the cars and crews returned safely - and encouraged me to organise other events, including one this May (see
http://web.me.com/macksy/ccc2012/Welcome.html and
https://www.facebook.com/CitroenClassic ). I thought I'd mention it in case any of you were near the route, had a Citroën (or, in all honesty any car!) and fancied meeting up or joining in for a bit of fun.
Anyway, it's a bit cheeky to introduce myself with a bit of event promotion, but part of the reason is to gauge interest in the concept of continental and UK road trips/grand tours etc. I do hope to plan something else and the opinions of fans of France, Driving and Cars would be welcome.
So, now I'll go away and have a good read of the many and varied threads on here... TTFN, Phil
