\lurk mode off

Hello allwavey, been lurking for some time, will go back into stealth mode after this post hehe
Not sure if this should be here or in events ,so mods pls move if required

I don’t know if you are aware but 2008 is the 20th anniversary of the MX-5/Miata, and the Belgian Owners Club has organised an international rally in May in France from 1st to 4th May.

I know that this is short notice, but there are three vacancies due to last minute cancellations.

There will be 88 cars from all over Europe taking part, which includes 28 cars from the UK and others from Sweden, Denmark, Benelux etc

Cost is about £400 per car (two people) but I’ll need to check the actual price due to the fluctuating FX rate and the hotel used. This cost excludes your ferry.



It covers 3 nights hotel and evening meals, driving tours a of the Champagne region with directions/roadbook, visits to champagne houses , etc.



We will be staying in The Ibis Hotel, Epernay or the Auberge Champenoise in Moussy, about 3 miles away, depending on the vacancy to be filled.

All drives will be using tulip diagrams wobbledriving

If you are interested and would like more information please contact me via my profile.
