Title: Who's Going To The 1000km In November
Post by: jpchenet on September 25, 2003, 02:16:07 am
Just trying to confirm the passout stamp for November when Mrs JP says "Maybe we could all go as a family!!!"
Now much as this is a positive response in that she knows I WILL be going, it begs the question, what are the rest of you planning??
So......who's going......who's taking other/better halves.......who's taking children?? When are you going/returning.

If i go it will be a last minute thing as all leave at my work has been cancelled due to Remembrance Day .
Which camp sites are open, despite it raining or is it safer to take something bigger to sleep in like a VAN or motorhome ??

Houx will be the only camp site apparently, but it won't be numbered.
I must admit that due to the time of year (and especially if the better half and kids are in tow) I was thinking of a hotel!!

... is anyone surprised ?
JPChenet, this autumn in France is quite hot and november weather can be good enough for campsite. Unumbered pitches could be the occasion for the first CA campsite, showing the ACO we're here !!!

I won't be going. :'(
It's my 40th that weekend and my wife has other plans which don't include a trip to France.

Me neither! Me old mucka who now resides in Madrid is having a big 40th that weekend too. We'd arranged it for the weekend of the 2nd when the ACO announced the provisional date as being that weekend, so swapped it to the 9th, booked the flights and hey presto!! The 1000kms date changes - bugger! And double bugger!!!!! >:(
And thrice bugger!!
And thrice bugger!!

A croque monsieur to the best suggestion as to where to insert the Commer...
I assume rude suggestions will receive two croque monsieurs :) Title: Re:Who's Going To The 1000km In November

Maybe the Commer needs a new colour scheme?? In which case it should replace the Racing For Holland car.
A Black and White sponsored Commer would look the part........and all the sponsors stickers would help hold her together !!! ;D

Replace the Spyker with the Commer - resplendent in Mr Tonibell ice cream colours with one of those large cornets on the roof at the front. A trail of musical notes going into the background towards Dunlop in the style of 'Greensleeves'. Man leaning out of side window saying 'and what flavour would you like little girl?'

How about replacing all three cars in the picture, with The Commer, The Shed and The Burgandy Beast?? ;)
