Who, Where, When... 2006
« on: March 15, 2006, 02:46:54 pm »
Seeing as nobody can be bothered to post this afternoon I though I'd start this off, and I'm already excited - must be the Sebring vibe in the air  ::)

Short trip this year as we're only planning to go full scale every couple of years. Attendees are myself and my mate Nick, staying on MB and rather worryingly we have officially joined Team JPC so I will be exposed to Tropicoma for the first time ever  :o

Brittany Ferries from Poole to Cherbourg 7am Friday 16th and returning Cherbourg to Poole on Monday at about 11.30pm taking my Golf R32.

I'm leaving in 13 weeks and 2 days. Woohoo  ;D ;D ;D

Well done Rob, I was hoping this would start soon.  Also, welcome to Team JPC, does this mean you are an official card carrying member?

Usual dates for me out on Sunday the 11th mid-morning, but for a change going via Boulogne-sur-mer on speedferries, back the Monday 19th on the late afternoon ferry.  This leaves the opportunity of having a nite on the raz in Deauville again.

First nite staying in a swankie hotel in La Fleche and then back up to MB to meet-up with the trucks with the camping equipment.  DfH are providing the advance party for securing our piece of foreign soil, so won't need to nearly pass-out this year with heat exhaustion.

I think it should be a fantastic LM and just can't wait.

Polo shirts are ordered, I believe the membership cards are in the post  ::)

I didn't get to meet you properly last year Peter because the people I was with didn't come and visit JPC at all. Look forward to getting better acquainted this year, and glad to hear that your treatment is going well.

Here we go then. The shortened version for us too due to lack of holidays. Ten of us going, 7 from the UK in car and tranny van and  3 coming up from Southern Spain in one car.

Dover - Calais 10:15 pm Thursday 15th and back on Monday afternoon. Staying on HA, next to Steve Brown and Perdu hopefully.

Lots of beer, lots of fireworks, lasers, smoke machine, bubble machine and anything else we can think of at drunken planning meeting between now and the off.

Roll on.

For me it's going to be a pretty swift trip again this year. Arriving on saturday morning and off again on sunday shortly after the race.
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.
