you may have to put your foot down if you are behind Han though
or more importantly if you are in front of him, which wouldn't be for long Really wish I could join this time, but I can´t do both this and the euro-trip...
Any one need a co-driver

Just out of interest, and I'm sure the answer is probably a "no, not really", but is there a particular "pace" that drivers generally keep to when driving to the events? I mean I am assuming that there's a loose "convoy" scenario that's played out allbeit with no hard and fast rules, but that's just a guess...
Presumably some guys will shoot off and enjoy the speed, others will pootle along enjoying the scenery and some will be in the middle - is that a correct assumption?
Yep, that's a fair assumption Presumably some guys will shoot off and enjoy the speed, others will pootle along enjoying the scenery and some will be in the middle - is that a correct assumption?
The tours are informal but there are a couple of guidelines (no need for strict rules, everyone is very sensible) such as:
- don't push someone to go faster than they are comfortable with / if you have someone behind you who wants to get passed let them go
- keeping the car behind you in view rather than trying to keep up with the car in front helps to try and keep the group together especially if the car behind you only has one occupant without a satnav
- etc
After a few miles on day 1 it's easy to see who is happy at what speed and smaller groups form - with 31 cars on this years tour there was no way we were all going to keep together all of the time.
Personally I simply want a nice quiet drive on some great roads. But, no matter how fast I go to try and lose someone, certain people always seem to keep up with me You know who you are!
Good evening!
Not long to go until Spa Classic 2013. I am going to get ferry to Dunkirk on Tuesday next week for a few days in Bruges, Ghent and various other watering holes before meeting up with the guys in the Ardennes and then on to Spa before a trip to Trier hopefully via Nürburgring, then Luxembourg and home. I hope the old S3 makes it!!
What are the plans of others, anyone else going early or return later?

I'll be crossing the channel on Thursday evening and staying in Calais. On Friday our group of 2 S's, a chimaera, a cerbera, a Boxster and a VX220 will be having a 4-5 hour scenic blat to Spa where we'll meet up with a couple of other S owners from this forum along with a whole load of other cars coming from the UK France, Belgium, Holland, Germany... and Denmark!
