Dare i ask if anyone is heading over this year, or does everyone here hold on for the Classic ?

Hi, I put a post on on Saturday. Me & Mrs GT are going down on friday with CTR. What are your plans? Very excited first timers, how about you?

[oblio]

I plan on taking our youngest in a few years time...provided it coincides with half term!

We're heading down Wednesday morning; if i recall the 8am ish from Dover - our second time. I'll be in my V8V, a friend in a Cherokee (support car / kit car with bbq's, PA system, etc), another friend in an Alfa Spider and a few more heading down Thurs/Fri in various other cars. We'll be floating around Karting Nord most of the weekend.

We've kindly put our better halves on the train, to meet us there Thursday - i suspect more for our benefit than theirs

Midnight champagne bar? Could you kindly enlighten me.

[tonyhall38]

AMOC members and Aston drivers meet at the Champagne bar at midnight for a chat and little socialising...everyone welcome though...most are too pissed to give a toss anyway..!!!

I'm also travelling on Friday - 07.20 P&O Dover-Calais. Staying in Houx.

See you there Tony - I'll have my handy portable flagpole with Aston flag for the 'poo bar.

Maybe also see you at Pugsley and Lewis on Thurs ?

[DavidV12V]

Heading over on the Thursday in the V12 Vantage - Staying at the PH campsite - first time for me so no idea where the Champers bar is?

Myself and some other reprobrates are heading out on the 1020 Eurotunnel on Thursday I'm the only one in an Aston, the others haven't seen the light yet

I'll try and drag my butt over to meet everyone else at the Champers bar. Might be more appropriate than last years meeting with Tony in a layby for a "natural break"

I'll be there, overnight to Caen arriving 6am Thursday.

Staying 45miles south of the circuit, fantastic drive on great roads every day.

See the AMOC mob at the champagne bar - midnight it is (assuming we're talking about the same champagne bar... Inside the circuit near the tunnel?)

Really looking forward to this year!

[hartley]

Crossing Fri lunch time in chunnel -DB9 volante travelling with upgraded Jensen Interceptor Jag and boxster - been several times but the champagne meet is a new one on me - anybody got a map ?

[LoudV8]

The champagne bar is in the circuit village, usually near the German Oompha restaurant. Look for something like this:

[jonamv8]

Crossing Thursday morning, around 10ish, drive through France to arrive late afternoon and set up camp!

[sadlerj]

[V8 PLL]

Travelling Wednesday on Eurotunnel 8.20am,hopefully will have all the camping set-up (Airtrack) by mid-afternoon in plenty of time to take in the first practice session.

[Vantagefan]

Who is everyone going with? PistonHeads, AM or under their own steam?

[crashley]

Under our own steam- approx 20 or so of us in various convoys and cars.
