Cheers Mark, still awaiting news of the new date. When I had the last one done I WAS able to drive after six weeks or so and that was done in January, I'm hoping the date comes through in time for me to be able to get there. But the longer they wait the harder getting around will be...  Havent even tried booking a ferry yet, we'll see. Oh well, there's always luck favouring the brave, I must know some brave bugger  And there's always next year, I missed one or two a couple of years ago too. I'll be back. |

Bugger that!! Amongst our excellent selection of travel opportunities in the more relaxed style of gentlemen's carriages this year, we have a BMW335 and a Jaguar XKR going out with spare seats. Commodious accommodation and big wide doors. They probably even have stereos and onboard toilet facilities too. Yes, I know that they are relatively modern and one of them is, well, you know...But, even if you just sit quietly in a corner of Bleu Nord, immobile and smelling faintly of wee, we'll sort you out with beer, food, companionship, take the piss out of you, and ignore you if you get arsey. Seriously, keep us in touch with events and we'll get you out there if you can't drive. MG Mark |

Mark beware what you wish for... It probably won't come to that but man, I am just a bit impressed anyway. Thanks mate, ( Thought you'd agreed not to mention the slight aroma of pee in future however this is really marvellous) If it needs to be I would be honoured to scrounge a small corner of BN to roll up in supinely. Ta And Bob thanks for offering to do all the shopping, a magnificent gesture. Man I'm filling up here  Guys, I'm sure I'll be there now only a few months to go too yeehah b |

Also just finalised travel plans.
Out tunnel 0750 Monday.
Return tunnel 1550 the following Monday.
Probably leaving my liver in a field in France, as I'm staying at Camp C'Arnage.

Also slowly stirring into action. The things that were threatening my trip have been sorted, so I'm now free for a few days. I need to start looking at train time tables and maps (although my Michelin map of France doesn't have railways marked on it). Planning on being somewhere in France (probably Paris) on Wednesday evening and then spend a few days gentle cycling towards Le Mans, sleeping rough, drinking wine etc. before arriving at the circuit sometime on Friday evening. Going back home Sunday lunchtime.

A pleasingly rapid adjustment of attitude......no worries mate, as long as you're not actually under a GA at the time, we'll sort out getting you out there one way or t'other. MG Mark |

We're going out Poole-Cherbourg Tuesday 17th, returning Cherbourg-Poole the following Tuesday - home for a brief repack and then off to Silverstone as I'm working at the British GP the following weekend - Tinkerbell does the double  (hopefully!) |

OK, here is Tinkerbell  (hope that works?) She's a 1976, she was blue originally but at some point was converted to a County lookalike, the paintwork was pretty bad when I got her but she's been handpainted with tekaloid paint and doesn't look bad for an old girl Tinkerbell went to the British GP last year when she towed a number of cars and caravans and an AA van who were all stuck in the mud - proving that Old girls can still pull KK has an older tax exempt landy but we'll not attempt LM in that! |
