I was under the impression there would be loads of Ferrari PH'ers going to the Monaco GP...
Surprised at the response.
Think I might have to renew my membership of FOC as they all drive down there I am sure.
Used to anyway, years ago.

Clorenzon , WCZ , let me know if you decide to go.

Hi Lee

I checked Friday morning and the 5:48 Folkstone departure is sold out so it will be a very early Friday morning departure (3:27 or the 1:23)

@ Clorenzen & RSJ:
I happen to be in Monaco already. I was intending on driving my car back to UK today and then pick up a new car i've just purchased and drive it back to Monaco for this weekend. Unfortunately (and typical) the dealer says the car will only be ready for collection now late next week. Therefore I'll be around the Monaco/cote d'Azur area in my current GT2 for till the end of next week. If any of you have plans, would be nice to meet up... Let me know if interested.

Hi Lee

Well it is not the worst place to hang around - even without your new car. I will probably shoot for a Thursday night shuttle and then make my way down during the early hours of Friday. Let me hear what your plans are Joel.

Regards

Christian

Just to finish the thread:

In Monaco I got a call whether i could be at a meeting in Nuernberg yesterday (not exactly on the way home). The sun was shining so roof back and across the Alps. 5 days and 2300 miles later i am now back in the UK. Top speed on the Munich - Nuremberg leg was 307 kph/h. Germany is just motoring heaven. Kitzbuhel - Nuremberg is 300 km in 2:10. Back in the UK. Haymarket to Richmond 14 km in 1 hour - go figure why our GDP is not growing 9%. y-o-y.

Isn't life a bh when you are forced to do a drive like that!!! Dont tell me - when you got there the meeting was cancelled so you had no option but to keep on driving!! I had similar experience last year. 2 weeks blasting around perfect roads in Europe the stuck 2 hours on M2 owing to roadworks!! Worst road I drove was the 2 miles from M25 to home dodging the Surrey potholes!
