Has anyone checked how much unleaded is over in Holland - it would appear it's c £1.55 per litre shocked I'm on £1.21 for branded down the road from me. Best to fill up before getting on the ferry!

ISTR it's more expensive, from Calais I can't get there and back (and race around the track!) on one tank, and yes it is pricey in NL, I tend to fill up in Belgium (bit cheaper than France) but I guess you don't have that option?

Hi Rene,

In the track time schedule, is Auto = cars and Motoren = motorbikes? (literally "engines")

Interesting crossing over. Cptn Pugwash announced it would be force 6 - 7 and he wasn't joking! Now I know how my y-fronts feel in a tumble wash! Anyway what a relief to drive on free flowing motorways rather than the Manchester and Leeds mayhem yesterday.

Thanks Rene and to Mirjam for the welcome and the personal touches on Saturday night. And sorry again for the embarrassment at the race track which I gather has been captured for posterity!

Seems we missed something!

Was the "end result" still similar to this? laugh




A few coops amongst a great turnout
click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge

Pre-event sortie (3-camera compilation, slightly inferior video quality 1


Pre-event sortie2 (single camera)

There are one or two more vids, mainly of the steel grey (Rico's old one) and the sprinty with the side flashes that kept going off just before the chicane - apparently he's always there but doesn't appear in the paddock with the rest of the coops.


Huge thanks once again to Rene and Mirjam for their tireless work and organisation - across several fields - not to mention their hospitality and friendship. Craig went into the restaurant on Saturday evening not knowing a single person but left on Sunday having made friends and a whale of a time smile Emilia continues to be more of a petrolhead each time and oddly enough on my return, as well as the journey over, all went amazingly to plan.....well what else would one expect laugh

Apologies for dashing off early but said as many goodbyes as possible - we left at 3, (2 UK time) and I was sitting in the house at 8 smile
Next morning my head didn't know where the hell it was wobble
