SPA ELMS

[powermite]

I know its may be a bit previous but me and the WANCs have decided to book up for the Spa race next September.I know a hotel bang in the middle of Spa which is about 8 ks from the circuit.I'll probably be booking it next week and i was wondering if there may be some interest hereeg smokie,Kp,and even Gilles may leave the haven of Lemans.
We will go over on the Chunnel and then the long drive through Belgium.
Anybody who hasnt been before,this is an ideal time to visit as the place is so vast and there will probably not be many spectators,so it'll be like LM PQ where you can drive around inside the circuit.There is an access road which runs alongside 90% of the circuit and when we have been there,we had unlimited access to this service road.
Come on you know it makes sense.

That sounds like an idea. Any idea of dates/prices?

You would know better than me the price of Chunnel.
Hotel last time was a bout £50 for a twin room.
Price should never come into the equation though.You know a well planned "cheap" trip never comes to fruition.Its always about three times more than you bargained for...cheap fags for you though,plus you can have the four of our allocation.Just think you'll be dead even quicker!!!!!

I went to Liege lkast year, that's not far from Spa. It's a good run the other side - pretty much m'way door to door from Calais.

I often have a weekend away with other mates around that time...will find our their plans and let you know. Spa actually is more appealing, for a change.

I live not too far from the circuit. If anybody needs help concerning a trip to the beautiful Ardennes then please let me know.

Well, thank you Sir but one question arises: cover what ? You are a very generous person. I have never been offered that much money for a good advice and a beer or two.  

[powermite]

Obviously hgb you do not know Phil.He wants YOU to send Him money!!!!!
