I will do Sebring 06 but I really fancy Europe with a bit of a drive.

Anything from GAB, Pieter, DFH?

How about a trip to Pau? Its a lovely part of france, an as yet unspolit street track and some wonderful classic cars. They also race modern cars as well, a round of the Brit Gts took pace there this year.

Looks good, I like the old style posters

Unfortunately too close to the early family hols in Greece.

One day perhaps

Martin,

I am planning on being at Sebring in 2007, that you can count on. As for Petit LM, it`s on my "to do" list. As soon as I can afford it then I will be there, can`t see it for 2007 but maybe 2008 or 2009. It`s possible that I may take a break from LM in 2007, tickets are requested but could possibly stay away from France next year.
Hi GAB,
           What has France done to upset you ??? ::) or was it somethig we said :o

Phil,

Nothing done or said just a matter of finances. Don`t fret, I`ve thought about taking an LM break for the last 7 or 8 years but it has never happened...probably not next year either.

Hey guys, that's desertion... ;D Ok, understood. I'm also seriously thinking about Sebring 2007, but not as a replacement for "the big one", I'll be in France next year definitely. Does anyone know when the definite ALMS 2007 schedule with the Sebring date will be available? The earlier I can book a flight, the cheaper it might be
Just had a quick look at BA and Virgin and they both seem to be quite expensive at the moment at around £950 for 2 adults, (13th March to 20th March). It might be worth waiting a bit, I understand they start out at "list" early on, the drop about 6 to 4 months before and then start to creep up depending on demand, with some last minute cheap deals if your lucky - I think the guys paid about £300 return last year, obviously you'll be going from germany and it maybe different.

In 2005 gab flew BA from Munich to Heathrow where I met him and we flew together on BA to Miami.

IIRC his flight was well less than €400 all in (< £300) whereas mine was about £300.

I usually book around Xmas, BA generally have a sale then. Not that the sales save an awful lot, unless you are lucky. This year Virgin were cheapest but not by much.
