Excellent, look forward to seeing them.

How do you join the supercar parade?

Am not sure my Tuscan 2S will qualify?
You have to be invited by the organisers and as nice as the Tuscan is, they turned down the 458 Speciale in our group as I think they only want hypercars!

Your dad has taste (and balls).

Most seem to go in small groups. If your dad is my age he will need to stop to (relieve himself) fill the tank a time or two.

If you have not booked yet I think you should do it as soon as possible.

My carriage.



Listen, it's the passengers that ride in these that have the balls!

Thanks for your reply. Yes well if the 458 speciale isn't good enough, very few motors will be.

Enjoy your trip!

Anybody heading to Le Mans can easily take in the biggest British WWI cemetery at Etaples, it is about 7 km off the A16.

I'll be visiting and leaving a token of remembrance at the grave of one of the "lads" named on the war memorial at work who is buried there.

Well said. I have a specific family member I'd like to honour in Belgium, but you're dead right about Etaples. Anyone going via Calais can also visit the memorial and cemetery near Dunkirk if they have time/inclination.

Hi,

Think I've seen your Tuscan as comp winner in this months Sprint. I'm looking at some new wheel or a refurb myself. I'd be grateful if you could give a pointer on those lovely Y spokes as an alternative to spiders.

Cheers Rob

The 911 is My Cousin Barry from Seaham. I will get the full info off him and post it, but its quick. 4wd huge bhp huge torque, the car did the Gumball in the 90's and has had a small fortune spent on it. Sound is fantastic and power and grip unreal. Very unusual Porsche always turns heads where ever we go. Edd

Some of you may remember the country and western wood panelled VX220 from a couple of years ago


It's back this year, but is now Lotus Aubergine purple and supercharged up to 260+bhp. Current sticker job ideas are mostly Cadbury's themed.

We'll be in convoy with another VX220 and a white Evo VI - the owner of which is under strict instructions to arrive with a full 555 Subaru WRC sticker set fitted!
