Just wondered which of you fine people and your TVR’s will be heading down to the 24??

We're travelling down on Thursday 14th June & picking up the 10.15am Ferry. Some of our team will be on the chunnel as well.

The cars in our squadron:

Red TVR Tamora: Buzz
Light blue Chimaera: Dave Belfield
Black Porsche Gay Lord Boxster: Muttley
Red VXR 220 Turbo: Marcus Mayhem
Silver VW Beetle sorry Porsche Carrera 4 convertible: Barry (Herbie) Ashcroft
Metallic Blue BMW tourer330i: Bananaman

We're planning to meet Richard and his tribe from Track v Road at Houx for tea and biscuits over the weekend so we hope we bump in to some of you. Then after the race weekend the 2 TVR’s and the VXR are heading off down to the Loire Valley for the rest of the week.

What ever you're planning I hope the weather keeps a sensible head on and y'all have a great time!


Give us a toot if you see us!

I'm on the Portsmouth - Le Havre ferry on Tuesday night with Richard's clan. Also at Houx, so see you guy's there! I believe the entry fee to TvR's fairy lit gazebo is a case of Desperado's, so make sure you drop into the Carrefour first Buzz! bandit

Really upset I am not going over in a car this year - flying over in a private plane and then helicopter in and out of the track and hospitality.

Going to be a really mare.

(Don is your Sagaris ready for collection yet?)

Heading down Thursday morning via the Tunnel. Maybe in the Cerb, maybe the Chimaera - having seen the forecast I'm thinking roof off and suntan tongue out.

Boatbuoy and Tom in his Cerbera and Itsallyellow and 'Mikes Dad' in a DB9 tongue out. The R8 is scheduled for arrival on Friday (late morning, no doubt wink).

We are also in Houx - so what time is tea and biscuits?

Here's to a great run down, no police ambushes and brilliant sunshine! See you there cool

Ha! I bet you would, and I'm sure she'd be up for that too! At least I'd get to play my own tunes in the car for a change, and not get the evil eye every time I drive into a Lavage!

Is not going to be all fun you know - I am going to be working at least 5 minutes of the trip talking about software to the company that is taking me.

It is going to be hard work.
