Plenty of luggage space but no air con. There is a big 440 cubic inch V8 providing ample under floor heating though.

Fantastic... in that case will you be travelling in your Mankini this time?

I'm sulking.

NOT NOW YOU HAVE PM

James, bring the Interceptor out to the front door. We're going to France!

What is the wife going to use to do the shopping?

Probably my debit card as usual.

The ticket office opened this morning - I missed the first wave as my mother phoned  but have got 2 MBs etc in my basket but the site won't check out.  Any body else tried and succeeded yet this morning?

Yes I have
Didn't accept my first card, but did the second.
Breeze, as it should be.
See you on MB.

It's still just sitting there after ten minutes, telling me to be patient.  I guess as it's lunchtime everybody's buying tickets so it's crashed the system again.  Probably by the time I get this done then MB will have sold out.

I'm a member of the ACO FFS, of course I'm bloody patient.

Thanks for the heads up.  Now booked : 4 x MB, 4 x ACO tribune, 4 x GE / Paddock  (had to do it in 2 transactions though)

Wow, there is going to be a hell of a group of CAers on MB next year.

Roll call:

Landman + 1 might be coming along with us as well.
Don't know about Bobblehat and Keith, they usually make it to the Classic.

Landman +1 is definitely coming.  Just not exactly sure who is the +1 yet    It should be Mrs Landman, but many's the slip between cup & mouth...

Landman's MD is also attending, but he's camping with the posh boys up a tertre rouge.  I do wonder though if I buy the beers will he sign them off on my expenses?

I hope to be on MB too for the Classic - once again together with a friend in his lovely TR 5 . Booking it on the ACO site didn't work though, Password was not accepted and having it send to the mobile also didn't work. Don't they have some skilled programmers in France? Hope my e-mail booking will work...

[termietermite]

It's still jammed in "Patientez" heaven here, Werner.  It puts my order in the basket then freezes up.  Aaagh.  Back to the phone (although that was engaged all day yesterday too.)
