Dave it'll be great to see you there; we'll be staying in Adenau so not quite as convenient for that restaurant as last time, but we'll have to grab a beer if you're around in the evenings
Dico; we'll be travelling over on thursday as well- 10am ferry from Dover to Dunkirk so we're meeting at 8am at Medway services and we'll maybe see you at some point on the journey.
I think we'll be taking it pretty steady as last time we ploughed along at 130+ (and not kph) the whole way cos the only guy with directions got a bit excited; I don't think my engine liked it much, or the mathematician in me either when I looked at the odds of getting busted in france or belgium!
At least we were in French cars I guess!

hello gents, we got back late last night after having to wait for ages to try and get all the cars back- caught the 8pm instead of 2pm ferry... one of the 306s is still there, but we'll let his insurance process his claim before commenting there, and the saxo finally decided it wasn't moving any further so is there still at the really top notch pug garage about 30k away in a town I can't remember the name of. the one that had the moment at breidsheid was Steve in his nile blue 306 with weller steels; a following vehicle happened to accidentally have a video camera running so we got the footage from the owner which provided plenty of laughs- it went side to side 6 times before he finally got it all under control! We have a dent in the bonnet from my brother Tom clouting the kerb so hard on the left/right before miss-hit-miss that the suspension strut hit the bonnet, but apart from that and the monsterous amount of smoke and flame our car is spitting and the <300 miles to a tank we're getting we're fine, despite well over 300 miles of track driving and over 1000 @5000rpm on the continent alone!
Only pugs+ 1 saxo in our group Hugo, but we did pick up the odd addition whilst blatting it along...
Great to see you again Dave; you're so much quicker than last time (and that was quick!) and even with my semi slicks I couldn't gain any ground despite driving the balls of the car! Also great dedication to the job to get up at 5am or whatever it was yesterday; I felt like shit at 8am
