Hi All,

We too are going for the non grandstand tickets this year. We liked walking around finding a different spot to sit in every couple of hours. Reema keeps harping on about going up in a helicopter so I know where my £270 will be going! lol :mrgreen:

We missed out on the 2am jaunt across mud last year... any adventures this year and we'll be making sure we're there!

I love those pics of you guys drinking jugs of blonde beer! That alone makes me think that Bruges should be repeated. Reema fancies somewhere in Germany???

Hi Gordon and Alison, good to see you on the forum, looking forward to seeing you and the family again in France. Has it really taken this long to get the internet sorted out?

Even though there is still 5 months to go I'm getting very excited now! Really looking forward to France, the beer, the great crowd of people, the race and the adventure!

Cheers for now,

Pete and Reema. :thumleft:

Ok guys,

Pictures the scene, 25+ MR2's in France, 40-50 people to look after, I'm going to be pretty flat out here. I'm not going to be able to look after the after show party if you want to call it that. We are going to need someone to look after the interests of the bolt on holiday once we leave the Chateau. Check out websites, holtels, bookings, mapping, etc

Any voulenteers #-o #-o

Reason I'm still sitting on the fence (and TBH thankful I still haven't bought my ferry ticket) is that a contract project I'm currently working on for the Uni has just had the deadline pushed back till mid-June and I may need to be here until the end. Been in meetings about the project much of this week. May have to pull out but won't know for sure until Friday. Tell you what though, if I do have to pull out, I'm seriously going to be :cry: :cry: :cry: .
I'm definitely in for the after-party - if I can get out of having to still be here for the final part of the project (my work is at the beginning part of project...).

Mark ( Roadster Boys )

I'll be speaking to Shane next weekend about the after show trip. We just need to come up with ideas and an agenda as to where to go and what to do, although I should imagine a pub and beer will somehow find its way into the equasion.

We need ideas and input from everyone please.
