There were reports today of 90-minute delays on the tunnel - should we arrive earlier tomorrow perhaps?

Have just checked the information line, and checking in times are normal at the moment. I can only suggest that people who are meeting at the services on the M20 don't leave it until the last minute before turning up. That way we can check the information line in the morning, and leave the services for the tunnel a bit earlier if necessary.

For anyone else planning to meet at the tunnel terminal, the information number is 08000 969 992. If you check before setting out, if there are any delays you'll be able to plan your departure time from home accordingly.

I imagine it may be busy due to the school holidays and the fact that a lot of the crossings are actually fully booked.

Hi Yacouba

Great pics, hope you enjoyed the cars.

If you've got any more photos, we've started another thread just for posting pics from the day, which would be a better place for you to post them.

Thanks

Lisa

I was keeping an eye on this thread but unfortunately I couldn't make the trip. I would definitely be interested in bringing the Mosler along to another run, especially an over-nighter with some of the local vin to sample. Looks like a really well organised trip and some fantastic machinery so congratulations and look forward to hopefully being able to come for a blast on the next one

Likewise would be keen to attend the next one with a proviso of some overnight accom. so we can make the most of the vehicles and the vino!

Heya, I thought that you were selling the Countach for a Diablo? Did the sale fall through?

Sorry if the resurrection of this thread confused you with regards to dates, but Greg's video was worth it. For anyone else viewing this thread, there will be another Chateau run next year, with a stopover on Saturday, and possibly the Friday night too. Details will be published when a few more details have been ironed out, and it will definitely be in a new thread.

Lastly, yes I have bought a Diablo and yes the Countach has now found a new home.
