Have the French sorted out the port yet, or have they decided to take the rest of it apart?
Any info much appreciated

Where have you been Fran? ME and my dad were on a trip to get BMW parts in Germany and we had to wait 3 hours ON the ferry to dock, we were just going round in circles for ages. this guy we met on the ferry had had to spend 6 hours on one crossing! One docking port broke, they took it apart, then they decided to take two/three more apart, delays all the time.

Pre-q via Boulogne I'm afraid (speedferrires - £50, BOGOF!)
The Calais thing was many weeks ago, wasn't it? Even months? It was on when I went to Frankfurt one time, which was either Spa weekend (16 April) or about end Feb.
There was a Big warning on the Seafrance web page (or was it P&O?) but as it isn't there now I suspect the problem is over.

No, nothing planned yet - unless Rusty is going, in which case there is usually a meeting at some time Sunday afternoon in the bar over the pits.
Any ideas?
I'll not be there too late as I have to get a ferry back...prob leave at four or five ish.

I'll be driving too so won't partake of too much either.
What goes on is...cars...testing!
On Saturday there is scrutineering I think.
Everywhere is much more accessible, and you can pay €15 to take the car inside and park around the track. Quite handy for those more distant areas... Also it's a good time to visit Mulsanne and Arnage corners, much much less busy than during race.
Let's arrange a time & place - I'll have a think and let you know.

The Spa weekend was a nightmare.
My old mand has just come back from a week away in Belgium, so i shall ask him what the score was.
