Fubar - I don't want to be stuck behind you on the Ferry!
900T-R - It's a two hour ferry or 45 minutes in the Tunnel. 35 miles Calais - Dunkirk, max 30 minutes, so it's a time saver.

The (up to?) 5 day return fare is only a couple of quid more than 2 single fares.

Hi John,
Thanks for the offer.
Are you up the Ace Cafe on Monday?

Yes mate i'll be there without fail. If the weather holds out i won't be in the ///M3 though so don't go looking for it. Should be there from 6:30ish. Just ask around a few of the group and they'll point you in my direction.

Good to see this one still alive.
I saw this SpaF topic on Belgium telly last week - I was hiding in the Ardennens - and La Source looks good, as do the new fascilities.
Also I think It'd be a good one to think about a (few) day(s) hooning about in the SpaF neighbourhood . . . I found some glorious roads. I managed to stay within the speed limits with the car in full family-loadup.
Getting my youngest an ice-cream - somewhere far far away
- almost made mph out of the kmh odo. Now THAT should appeal . . . in a proper car that is. Coming up soon . . .

Wow... That looks like a total write off...
Thank god the accident 'only' caused a fractured leg.
I've seen an MGB with similar damage. The driver was in a coma![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
But enough of that:
I'm sorry to say that I'm not able to join you guys.
I have to work saturdays![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
Maybe next year, or this autumn or so... We'll see!

Yup cars a bit beyond repair. The up side is that it was fitted with an FIA roll cage, side impact bars and full harnesses, had it not been ...well!
The front is a LeMans replica in fibre glass, it was also fitted with a Sierra 5 speed box, Willwood brakes, modified suspension, a few more tweaks and we could have raced it at Spa!
A dry road for several weeks, a heavy rain shower on a suspected diesel spill and a 35mph corner turns into a 180 spin over a steep embankment and into a very solid tree,.... but time to tell the full story over a few malt whiskies at Spa.
