Can't compete with Andrews convoy but my son will be taking "our" Vixen S2 and I will be in my Griff. Driving from Lancashire to Portsmouth for the Wed night crossing to St Malo then a gentle run to the 1st Tickets campsite. I'm getting to old for camping but still enjoy the atmosphere.

You'll be looked after by them. I've worked for them a few times at LM and the Classic and they were a great group of people.

Group of us from Hants TVR club crossing Thursday morning on fast-cat to Cherbourg.

^^Will be on the look out for a green SEAC. Our group will be Chim, Griff, my red Tuscan mk.1 and either another Griff or Fezza 360.

We're camping at Speed Chills - Bleue Sud - almost opposite Porsche Curves entrance.

I'm going with Fast Track Tours http://www.fasttracktours.co.uk/ ...always get a great service from Ian.

Drop him a line & I'm sure he can sort you out with camping / tickets etc. If you get in quickly I happen to know ('cause it was mine) that there's also a lap pass available...

Mac is in Greece at the mo, any of the other 7/8 from the west mids looking in? Would like to join the convoy and make appropriate arrangements.

Roll on Thursday week smile

Don't forget to wander over to the French TVR Club parking area inside the Bugatti circuit. There's usually a lot of Tivs parked up there (as will my Griff 500).
Beats parking up outside and having to walk in.........
