Great to see you have put my name down and yes it will be a virginal experience for me :lol:
I'm not sure if Jacky will be with me but i'm sure, Michael! you will talk her into it at the Xmas party.
My car should be a MK1.5 by then, as long as Paul gets it all sorted, hopefully it will all be ok!
Try and convince Pete Kyte to come along because he will have my SC engine and parts, also being fitted by Paul and it should be good as he is our Mr Bling in the SE :)

Have checked back and I booked the hotel for 9th June so am glad you are saying I'm wrong! :lol:
Might be worth running through the rest of the thread as there are times that it says its the week after, noticed it in 1st post and others.

Next year is going to be MASSIVE so I'm starting to organise it now. Provisional dates from the trip is Monday 16th June 2008 - Tuesday 24th June 2008. Sailing on Speedferries again and camping at the Chateau de Chanteloup.

Hi Michael... Before I book the ferry, is anyone going to be going somewhere after le mans and making it a 2 week holiday like this year in belgium?

We fancy the full trip if there is one.

Pete,

It quite possible that myself and Joanne will be doing something, right now though we have no plans. The Le Mans MR2 event will officially finish on Tuesday 17th June. To be honest it only costs £10 to ammend your booking so even if you include that charge now its still only £50 for a return crossing, I remember paying £249 4 years ago for the same crossing with Sea France, how things have changes...!!

Some ideas we had was Saint Mont Michel on the West coast or another visit to Bruges, not sure, any ideas. We can have a talk about it in Scotland next week.

Ok,

My ferry crossing is booked. It's now up to £64 already which is why you must book asap.

I went for the flex tickets rather than the basic. They are only about £4 more expensive and mean you can amend your booking if need be and if you miss your ferry you can catch the next one without paying a fortune.

Cheers for the speedy reply michael.

Yea Max get it sorted or its going to cost you Xrtra dosh, same for anyone else who hasn't booked ferry DO IT NOW. Also don't forget to book the White Rabbit in Maidstone, limited rooms so get in 1st.

Fantastic to have Shane + Susan coming along, nice one guys really glad you are coming, I secretly always knew you would come again, tee hee...

We are looking to do some extra touring/visiting after the Le Mans even, possibly leave on the Monday, have you any ideas.... We were thinking about the North West coast ( Mont Saint Michel ) and along the Normandy Coast, don't know mate, any ideas.
