2016 S Club Euro Tour - 007 - Going Dutch

[Longers]

Tomorrow is the last day for deposits...

When I originally said deposits were needed by the end of Feb I'd forgotten it was a leap year. Luckily this means you've got an extra day to pay.

If you're no longer planning to attend please do the decent thing and let me know rather than continuing to ignore my emails

Not ignoring you Ian, just very busy.

As always, full payment sent.

Thank you Stewart.

I hope you can understand that after not getting any replies to my comments in this topic or my numerous emails to you it did feel like I was being ignored

Any news from Chris?

[Longers]

28. Simon & Theresa / VX220 a TBC TVR S / Yes

[Longers]

Seeing as Simon is selling the "not a Lotus" and getting himself a proper car for this year's Tour I've had to look elsewhere for the 2016 S Club Euro Tour Comedy Car.

I understand that some of you know Nigel already from breakfast meets (well, he has admitted meeting some of the GTS)...

30. tdiquattro / Beetle / single / yes

So much scope...

[Longers]

I'm sorry Tony but I'm afraid I can't help you.

The GTS are very secretive and do not share information about themselves. Maybe it's because I'm too young? Maybe it's because I always seem to be stuck at the front with the Bank Robbers chasing me (It might appear that I like driving quickly but all I am doing is trying to get out of their way).

Maybe you should ask someone closer to GTS age. What about Phillpot?

[Longers]

100% cancellation fee + 50% administration fee + a life time of regret at missing out on a trip that is regarded by some people as the highlight of the motoring year.

Let me know what you decide to do Frank

So what is that? 30+ T shirts...

I wasn't planning on doing shirts this year - I did them last year and we don't have them every year so thought I'd offer a different "one size fits all" item this time. More details soon hopefully...

If someone did want to organise shirts then let me know and I'll give you the details of the supplier I use

[Longers]

Don't forget that balance payments are required by the end of March

[Longers]

2 days left for balance payments

[Longers]

Thanks Stewart

[Longers]

Does anyone have a way of contacting Top Gear TVR, other than by email (I've tried several times now and he hasn't replied)?

I know he joined the list late but I've not even had a deposit from him yet and time is fast running out. If no money arrives I will have to cancel his place...

[Longers]

Thanks gents

[Longers]

Top Gear TVR said:

Mmmm, nice!

glenrobbo said:

... and wellies.

What? And risk scratching the paintwork...?!

[Longers]

Hi everyone

I had actually planned to email you all last night with an update but I ran out of time...

just thought I would mention.....now just over 2 weeks to go!

Longers, when does the PIMP get issued? ...I'd hate to just wander around aimlessly on the Continent if I have no-one to follow ...

Longers is busy with Spa Classic coming weekend. I already prepared some routes for Luxemburg, Germany and Holland. We will finalise the routes next week when we return from our Capeverdian holiday ;-)

The week before last I was leading a big Porsche tour to Germany, as Han said it's the Spa Classic this weekend and today I have been finalising the orders and payments for the Le Mans Classic. But don't worry, the PIMP is on the way!

I saw Han when I was in Germany and by the time he gets back from his holiday he will (hopefully!) have received the PIMP and the routes from me so he can review them - apparently he's got a bit of local knowledge Plan is to get it all sent to you by 22/5. I am sorry this doesn't give you as long as you usually have, but hopefully 4 days will be enough for you to load satnavs, learn the contents of the PIMP by heart, etc.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, either here or by email.

Cheers,
L'rs

PS You'll know if you haven't sent me your disclaimer and passport details for the hotels yet. Please get them to me ASA-bloomin-P

[Longers]

Mick, as in previous years you'll receive a satnav file for each route and a link to the corresponding map that you will be able to print in as much detail as you want to, highlight on a road atlas, etc

[Longers]

Sorry Mick, I thought you had travelled with us before... maybe that was the Spa Classic...?
