Cheers Dave I will give you a shout, waiting on my Bro to decide if he is coming, but he may have double booked thinking I couldnt make it, if the TL thing works, and JohnD still want to go would work perfect.

Edit, Bro cannot come, so if anyone wants to run out there in the Tiv with me, let me know.

Dave - sorry to hear you can't make this. I'll miss hearing the Chim that weekend (after seeing the Chim alarm clock vid from last year wink)

I'm staying in Bleu Nord in the club arnage enclave.

We must meet up for some beers in the early hours of Sunday morning.....nothing like sitting blitzed chatting rubbish with the cars roaring past.

We're heading over early on Thursday morning if you want to join the convoy chap. It would be good to have a TVR roar along with us.

I'm on the 5.48 Eurostar on Thurs 11th June then heading back on Monday 15th June after a lovely stay in a very good hotel between Le Mans and Calais to cleanse myself smile

I'm still going Al. Camping with Team Langoustine. Am set to travel over with the TL boys at the moment after they very kindly offered when Dave had to pull out, but this is not set in stone yet.

Thats cool. I will look at getting a pitch there too, a mate on FB has just messaged me saying he will jump in, and then we can get the space there, and all have a right piss up biggrin

Al, Dave the Baron and I were travelling out together and Dave has worked out a little Eurohoon on the way. If you are going to fit in Dave's slot (ooer missus) will you be up for a little 'sight seeing' with us on the way down?
John_D, have a spare seat on the way out but not back if that's any good to you? Luggage space is at a premium aswell but fortunately Hannah and Dave are helping out on that front.
All I need now is a car frown

Do you mean your mate is jumping in the passenger seat Al? Just to clarify as I still do need to completely finalise how I am getting to Le Man and back (not that I am relying upon you wink)

Great news you are coming mate thumbup

Cool. I would'nt mind a burn in the Noble to get over there biggrin Guess it depends if anyone has an empty seat for the return leg though?

Like I said before, I should really speak to the TL boys first as I already have an arrangement with them albiet without the finer details sorted.

Yes Lewis just spoke to me and he is going to jump in, just got to sort out where we go to stay now, the TL thing will be good fun I think, or I might do the TC BSJ budget option.

Dave I will call you in the day tomorrow, work was a long day and had some beers now smile

Great news Al, I am still going and staying in BSJ. John currently have a spare seat down and back, but obviously staying in BSJ - happy to drop you at TL of course or equally join us in BSJ if you want. I have got as far as booking the camping and also paid for Speedchills access but not booked a crossing yet.

Al, i have a ferry crossing booked for Dover Boulogne Wednesday morning coming back Monday - travelling with Lakelord and BaronBashoneov. You can have it for the cost of changing the details, which i think would be £10. I've also done an .itn file for a nice, non-motorway journey down there frown

Yes I did. No problems, they'll come on the chuff chuff as originally planned but will still be after a lift back if that's still on?

Yup. Lunched the gearbox a while ago. The bill would bring a tear to a glass eye !!
Should be back in a couple of weeks with an uprated box tho so I should be able to turn the taps up a bit.
