Anyone else had a problem paying? My bank doesn't accept the IBAN number.
I'll be in this, and my youngest daughter is chucking a sicky from primary school to navigate, I don't think her eco-warrior greeny Teacher is going to be impressed when she inevitably finds out
Great looking car, will be good to have someone else along with a bit of pace I'll be in this, and my youngest daughter is chucking a sicky from primary school to navigate, I don't think her eco-warrior greeny Teacher is going to be impressed when she inevitably finds out
I sent via PayPal, miles easier.
Just received my registration email so I will have this sent back and paid tonight.
We are also staying at the Ibis in Arras.
A quick count up shows there are currently 14 cars / 28 people in the Benjj-Pistonheads group. Thanks Ben for arranging this, it is shaping up to be a great weekend.

Kindly let in with newer (boring) car, before door was shut on later cars (sorry). I'm number 110 so bringing up the rear. Moved my tunnel crossing to an earlier one as having a sportier exhaust fitted on Sat morning whilst over there at www.carnewal.com in Belgium.

What did you do to get the registration email? I've emailed Bruno but not heard anything, tried again this morning - don't want to miss the cut! Was a little worried my 80's car wouldn't cut it, but think I should be fine! We are also staying at the Ibis in Arras.

Oh gents (and blonde ladies in Ferraris ), this is coming together nicely now.
We may well get one or two more entries but it looks like we're around 15 cars or there abouts.
Quite a few of us are on the 1320 Eurotunnel crossing so lets aim to group up there for a team blast on the other side into Arras.
The most important point of order is to organise a venue and meet point for a massive lash up on Saturday night
There is a bar about 2 minutes walk from the Ibis right on the Place des Heros (where the rally starts on Sunday morning) called Au Bureau (http://www.au-bureau.fr/)
I suggest we meet up there from 6pm onwards on the Saturday evening once everyone has scrubbed up. You can see the bar easily on google maps / street view on the south (long) side of the square.
Note to all: remember all the required kit for travelling in France - gb sticker, warning triangle, hi-viz vests etc etc etc. Make sure you have them as I'm sure the local constabulary may check if you get collared shooting flames and doing skids.
Lastly a note for first timers: make sure your navigator has some kit to hand - a few pens and pencils and so on, highlighters are handy for marking off your progress so you can still see the instructions.

There is an underground car park in ( well, under) the larger square in Arras.
I have a feeling I have this included in my booking with Ibis. I'll check. It looks like the best place to park in Arras for those who might have leaky roofs etc...
Ben, that place looks nice! Definately gets my vote. Is it worth booking?
Also, how do you know what 'category' you are going to be in?? (for example Colin McRea) I didn't tick a box...

My pleasure all, it is going to be a lot of fun.
Parking - not sure, will have a look. Hopefully we'll just skid them into the Place des Heros and leave them there until morning. You can park on it anyway. I may need to do a bit of tinkering with the Porsche anyway, get it match ready.
As for the groups, have a look at Bruno's site here, it gives all the entries (scroll down)
