Weekend Spa Break

[griffgray]

Following on from a fantastic LMC 2012, and new friends made, I don't think I can wait another year till LMC 2014. So fancy a weekend blast down to Spa.

Martin kindly attached a link to some footage, looks brilliant.

So, who fancies it.

Great news, that a good start. I will see if our favourite gite is available

[griffgray]

May one would be good if it doesn't clash with your " other " events. I suppose we will have to go via eurotunnel.

Tiv still at Neil Garners, might be problem with the cats. Might be time to remove them. More noise

Nitrons fitted and 12k service done, cant wait to try out the new setup.

Nice GT3 at Cameron Sports, but have decided to wait a while, no harm looking though.

[griffgray]

I am up for this, whose turn is it to take the fine

There is a company www.fasttracktours.co.uk in TVR magazine with various sorts of accommodation or we can just book it direct ourselves.

I was only looking at the w/e at the charity bash Paul is organising, fancied popping down to see you all.

This link seems to sum it up. I am up for end of May, camping sounds like a plan, prices seem reasonable too

Would prefer to get hotel rooms this time but might be too late.

We need to know numbers of definite attendees - and pronto!

So, end of May, who is definitely in?

1. Me
2. Me too, Graham
3.
4.
5.
6.

Thursdays good for me

+1 Ferry or Eurotunnel, camping or hotel

[griffgray]

After the LMC experience maybe I should leave my mates at home

[griffgray]

camping is fine for me, no driving after racing, can can have a beer or two

Option 2 looks great

[griffgray]

Sorry to confuse, not fussy I will go with the flow. I would prefer though that we are all together.

I might be +1, an old mate of mine might come with me.

I would suggest Eurotunnel as have used a few times and works a treat.

If camping I will bring my big paella ring for the monster breakfasts

Now confirmed, I now have a co-pilot. My old mucker Neil will be sitting in my new leather seats.

More than happy to be chef, just don't tell Jo though, as I never cook at home apparently

Please, however don't expect the same board of fare which seemed to be coming out of the back of that white van next to us at LMC.

I might even be in my 'new' car by the time we go

No wonder, all those hours you work, a man has needs,staying with the same brand or onto pastures new........ does that mean the GT3 is on the market

To be honest I based the new interior on something like yours.. all that alcantara. As requested photos attached







What time are we planning to go Thursday and is it Euro/T

Edited by griffgray on Saturday 16th March 11:21

[griffgray]

Yes, lets get booked up. What do we need to book.

Eurotunnel ?
Camping ?

Gutted, just read this thread and can't make it, hope you all enjoy yourselves and think of the ones left behind.

Hope you are ok, will see you at Neil Garners, lots happened since we last met up on M4. Haven't forgotten I owe you for loan of axle stands, will address on Saturday 30th

[griffgray]

I'd say come back Sunday evening, will happily go with the flow though.

Coming back Sunday night works for me too.

Early warning for LMC 2014, next year, it is my BIG 50 in May Could be a few of us hopefully, might get messy.

[griffgray]

Happy to go with the flow on Thursday, suggest around midday so beat rush hour, coming home late sunday better for me, saves trying to arrange accommodation and being accused of quote " Is this the f**king Gumball"

With the flexi ticket we get a two hour slot which is normally fine

Checked out other forum on Spa, doesn't seem to be a scenic route from Calais. Now that I have co pilot, can get some decent video footage without the twin plenums and wind noise from the Stag

Looks yummy

[griffgray]

Me and Neil will probably share, more room in the car for beer

Anyway I am comfortable with my sexuality, pink shirts n'all

That campsite looks good, feel a big fire coming on

I think this answers the entry ticket issue, if we book early we can save a few quid by buying in a group too

[griffgray]

3 Bikes...... They better leave a few days before us, they'll be knackered by the time they get there
