Weekend Spa Break
Discussion
Great trip boys, great fun, great company and one awesome circuit.
Apologizes for getting the early train back, we were on our own in a massive carriage with full head height, size of a football pitch before they closed the doors, we all could of got on. We were put on the front of the train, as we got on the attendant standing beside the train said as long as we gave it some beans he would let us go to the front.... had to oblige.
Arrived home after dropping Neil off, to find I had his passport still in the car, he flies off to Greece islands tomorrow so he had to rag down to me today.
Giles, thanks for sorting out accommodation, but we all realise now that some luxuries are required, and I now will NOT be bringing a BBQ or gazebo again
Next year BIG 50 LMC, will start to plan, fancy a chateau or something similar.
Thanks again for a great trip........... Here's to the next one

Neil, you obviously didn't see me walk into the hotel, after my cup of tea, dressed in the same attire. It is not a regular hobby and completely out of character but I didn't want to get my jeans wet 
As for Neil, I could tell he was " up for a few beers" and in the mood to get slaughtered. I thought he coped well. It has been known for him to miss a days racing at Le Mans due to excessive alcohol.

Two years, and the 2.7 been a year in the making. A totally different experience. We had a blast in 2012 and be good to see all the guys who went to Spa again. I am just getting feelers out at the moment but it would be nice to travel down and then camp together. Mind you after the snow in Spa in May we always said we'd never camp again.
I'd be up for this if I've got my car back, not sold on the camping front though!!! 
It does seems like us old men need a little luxury in our old age
. I will investigate our options and come up with some suggestions.

I could be tempted by this!!!
Let me know if you'd accept my doddering old chuff-box with al your lovely smart motors!
All you need is a sense of fun and a love of all things " classic". It's also more suitable now that we are all getting a little older and appreciate a trip away with a little "comfort". Let me know if you'd accept my doddering old chuff-box with al your lovely smart motors!
