Thursday crossing on the Chunnel. No doubt tomorrow will drag, still looking forward to a few bevvies & a meal tomorrow evening to get us ready for the 4.30am start on Thursday.

Staying with Club-motorsport, will try to get to the Friday meet.

Praying for some dry weather.

Safe trip to all & hope to bump into a few PH'ers over the weekend

Hi Cobra Andy,

Returning to an exchange we had a while ago, I recall the Cobras are in MB camping this weekend. As our tickets arrived late this afternoon and I now know we'll be there, I'm hoping my son and I will be able to pop by and be over-awed by the motors, and maybe say hello, probably sometime Saturday pm.

regards,
R.

crugbun,

Yesterday morning I was in the same situation having booked online with Aco in December. I called the ACO number, pressed 2 for English then 0 for an English speaking person, spoke to her, she promised to mail the tickets via UPS to arrive today and I got them this evening. Give it a try, you've nothing to lose!

Indeed I recall the conversation, by all means feel free to wander over, you wont miss us 60 + cars, we are all over by the wall, on the outside edge of MB, and we have a large green and white gazebo,as well as the other stuff.
Have a safe trip down.

Cobra Andy,

I know where you'll be. I hope that the space on MB for you all will be as good as it was a month ago for the 24 heures..it did seem as if ACO's activities created a much improved site.

We're staying in a hotel, we'll be parked in Expo and watching from Lagache etc..an easy stoll over to your parking area. If I miss you (unlikley) it can only mean I've had too many 1664s!
