This is beginning to sound like a reasonable mixed
convoy - total to date I make it is 13 - hopefully all stickered up

TVR Chimaera
Lotus Elise
Fiat Coupe
Audi TT
TVR Tuscan
Corvette
M3
SL
EVO7
Subaru
MB330
Dax Rush
968 Sport

If anyone's got a good driving route which avoids getting stuck (as I seem to do each year) in Rouen (or Ruin as I now know it) I'd be grateful.
And does anyone know what the theme is to be this year for the great british welcome at St Saturnin?

Hopefully be there in a Cerbera.

Going on 10.00 Speedferries so will miss most of the Rouen chaos, last year going that route and using the new road arrived around 4.30 pm.

Alternatives are to head to Le Havre/ Honfleur and drop down to Gace, and head down the N138 from there. Takes longer but nice route.

This is a good route home Purple, going thetre just do it in reverse order.Look at the map its very easy and good fast toll free roads.

There should be a group of 5-6 VW Corrados on that crossing.
Not as 'exotic' as a 911 or Lotus I'll grant, but rarer these days!

Feel free to come & say hi

Our convoy has been moved to 10.40am now as well. The way i read it is that ther is no ferry at 10 so i assume we will all be on the 10.40. Bit of extra shut eye wont go a miss!

Presume all 10 oclockers have been bumped to the 10:40. Its either that it seems or the early boat at 7 - thats too early for me coming from Somerset. Have also had the return on Monday changed to 1:30. No 53 I quite fancy the idea of going back roads - we normally do the main roads and autoroutes which can get very tiresome with Monsieur Plod and the speed guns they use from about 2 miles away

Speedferries have changed the crossing times on both the previous two years I've travelled with them. I think it's just when they move over to the Summer timetable or something.

It's no problem - gives me an extra 40 minutes to wake up on Thursday morning
