That's a bugger Steve, was looking forward to a catch up and a shandy!

Going back home Giles, Hertfordshire.

Have loved it down in Devon, met some great people, but ultimately afraid it hasn't worked out.

Looking forward though, not back. Onwards and upwards biggrin

Who says it's a Beetle anyway whistle

Yours is a very nice example, but if I went that route it would have to be the RS. When do we need to get this booked??

RS not a lot different Gen1, apart from slight power increase but wider body.

Gen2 RS still around 90k.

Shall we do a final roll call then?

Camping:
Martin, Luke
Giles + Neil
Paul + 1
Gra + 1



Hotel (if possible)
Joe, Joes mate

Who have I missed? (On the phone here trying to do this wobble)

I can do the Eurotunnel bookings, what time do you want it for on the Thursday? Also what time for return on Sunday night or Monday morning?

Giles, I think from previously, we don't need to book at the racing camp site, but did you email them to ask for reserve space? I'll also need to contact them to see if they have a spare room for Joe.

Happy to go with the flow on Thursday, suggest around midday so beat rush hour, coming home late sunday better for me, saves trying to arrange accommodation and being accused of quote " Is this the f**king Gumball" laugh

With the flexi ticket we get a two hour slot which is normally fine

Checked out other forum on Spa, doesn't seem to be a scenic route from Calais. Now that I have co pilot, can get some decent video footage without the twin plenums and wind noise from the Stag hehe

Ok so Eurotunnel around midday Thursday, return Sunday late evening.

Is that ok for everyone?

I'm ok to book, everyone can give me money when arriving, probably easiest.

Can everyone pm me with car plates please.

Looking forward to this.

If we are staying at the campsite at Racing Hotel http://www.francorchamps-racing-hotel.be/en/home-2...

It is 500m from the 'La Source' main entrance

He doesnt need us to book, but i will send a confirmation email.

Do we need 8 pitches for 8 tents or are some of you looking for a homo-erotic experience ?

Giles,

Emailed racing hotel last night, they replied saying again no need to book.

I'm calling them tomorrow to book a few rooms, probably 3 or 4, just in case.

I also have another 4 coming now smile

Lets update the list tomorrow then get everything booked.

Can we get entry tickets 'on the door'?
