I think we're in Expo.
There'll be around 3 Marcoses there on the wednesday, and the rest of us will arrive thursday afternoon, making around 15plus Marcoses in total.
Should be hard to miss us!

Editted to say I'll have PistonHeads stickers on my car, so come say hello.

Few BMW M3's
Maybe a Porka too

Probably not Pistonhead stickers, but will probably be running Peninsula Automotive stickers on the 400SE

I'll be in Expo along with the masonery nails and club hammer so I can attach the tent to the ground!

Not a grand fleet! A silver WRX and some Pug, 306 I think.

Using the car is a good idea until you decide to book up to the Hyperarket to buy more beer, forgetting to untie the tent first!

AQhh I was in Mason Blanche that year watching the tents sink into the puddles of water as they developed.

Expos quite good if it does rain, as the ground is so rock hard you just get small rivers running down the hill, apart from wet feet and tongues (beer) we managed to keep everything dry ok

We were in the sheds then too! Although we kept dry the end result was that I bought a new tent which I can stand up in. Nothing worse than trying to crawl into a tent when its tipping it down.

JV . . . .ha ha good call, Id say yes but aparently they have farmers markets there or something so chances are it'd get eaten by a horse or some other such French delicacy

one of our team members is a plumber . . . .we're hoping to have a shower rigged up, hes been working on a prototype which is an old boiler, fired off campin gas and will hook up to the stand pipe, I havent seen it yet but it sounds interesting!
