... my brother is probably making the trip on his Blackbird (M/Cycle) which means he might drink your (anybody's) beer, as he is not that keen on my vodka. Unlike me he is very keen on raw spirit, Calvados, brandy, whisky, whiskey etc. so hide your bottles! Oh and the odd, or even G&T. Nice fella though. >Martini... [/quote] Martin, Your brother sounds like a candidate for S******, bring him along next year  [/quote] Funny enough, he owns a place at Cocoa beach, although he is trying to sell it. >Martini... |

For anyone planning to be there earlier in the week the parade of race cars into Spa town on Wednesday is not going to happen  Apparently their engine restrictions this year mean the competitors don't want to run the engines for this type of drive. Apparently they are trying to put together a parade of drivers and for the leading cars to go into Spa on trucks so they can be seen in the square. A great shame, this was one of the best sights around. |

That is really to bad, as I'm having that week off anyway, and was planning to at least visit the parade on Wednesday. |

It was always part of our trip, eating lunch next to the road waiting for the cars and then sitting along the top road waiting for them to come back Think we'll have to spend an extra day in the Spa Baths to make up for it  |

Bow locks. The first year we've been able to leave early enough to catch it too. |

May need a day on de pannenkoekenboot in compensation  Where did you get the info from, just curious |

The info was from Jackie Groom the FIA Media delegate so it's pretty good info. She was waiting to hear confirmed details of what will now happen.

Just had to google de pannenkoekenboot! Looks nice but I think we'll stick to a day at the baths and then KK's crepes back on the campsite |

Seeing as we are sailing to Rotterdam, it seems our duty to have some pancakes - a 2.5 hour cruise with an 'all-you-can-eat pancake buffet' sounds perfect  |

If you want more info let me know. When we were there last year, the pannenkoekenboots were moored by the Euromast - is that where you board or are there other boarding points? We'll have the kids with us this time, so they will definitely want to go up the Euromast, plus we'll probably try to get to the old harbour as well, although this will be a weekday so maybe a lot busier than when we were there last.... Also parking may not be so easy |

Just heard today that Mogie a.k.a. SonofSebring will join the party as well! He'll be touring Holland and Germany for a two week's pre and after Spa piss up. Some of you may have met him last year at Le Mans or Sebring. Here's a picture!  |
