What's in your convoy?

[yeti]

Sounds like a lot of people are booking up already so time to start the traditional thread off;

Who's got what in their convoy for 2005?

We're 10 cars this year, from Portsmouth on the Wednesday night.

Marcos Mantula Spyder 4.6 (so very, very fast)
Lotus Turbo Esprit (Mrs Yeti driving...)
Lotus S2 111S (heavily modded)
Lotus S1 (to be purchased)
MG ZT (diesel fridge carrier)
Porsche 924
De Tomaso Pantera GTS (Gulp...)
Alfa Romeo Spider S4
Noble M12 or E46 M3 (hasn't decided)
GT40 replica or S1 with 200bhp (hasn't decided)

Good mix I think either way!

can't wait!

I just love the fact that a few days after returning from Le Mans, we started planning the following year's trip! Actually, I think we started on the ferry back!
Having a fantastic car of my own to drive down in this year is also going to be fun. Last year, I had to borrow my mate's Jaguar XJR6, as he couldn't make it, which was fun but it's not the same...

Don't forget to keep me in on the plans for this year Charles.... I should (WILL) have the Liz by then. Seen a few already so the next couple of months should see me in a Lotus. Bring on LM05.....

Good man, sir! I left your side of the group out as (a) I'm not sure who'll be driving what and (b) I'm sure you, BoboW and others would like to post for themselves!
As for next year's plans, I've made a preliminary booking with CCT, but the people to speak to are Adrian and Tasha, as they've set up a bank account for deposits so sorting out payments for a block booking (for those who want to) are much easier.

Tinkerty-tonk,

Charles
