h2ypr Unregistered H	Just wanna say between yesterday and today, I've read through this whole thread. It sounds and looks amazing!!!! Seems as if my drive to the eurotunnel would be the longest part of the journey!! This is definitely something I'm looking to get involved in next year. Even only to just attend and enjoy the drive!! Hope everyone has a great time away!! Ross

Doubt we will do much driving at night anyway. Edit: Proccy might have some hi vis jackets. Last edited by Taffy20vt; 08/05/2011 20:27. Ex 432bhp '00 Sprinty 20vt6 '17 S3 Sportback '69 Amazon 131

Just be aware on the track you will easily use a whole tank in 60 mins ! - assuming you're not driving like a I don't think of the cost to be honest, it's just such a damn good weekend, priceless IMO. 1972 Triumph Stag 1984 Alfasud TI 1999 Fiat Coupe Turbo LE 2005 350Z
