Jinxy the car is looking spot on mate. Glad to see it.


Nice to hear from you Carl & Bev. looking forward to a catch up and to see the Noble again. cant be much packing required for you id have thought. Say maybe a screwdriver to open the engine compartment and a few pairs of smalls :D


Good news for all those who ordered stickers. Picked them up tonight and they look superb as normal. I couldn't wait and have stuck mine on already :thumleft:

The weather's took a down turn again:

I checked last night and it was 27 degs and sunny all week, so this site might not be 100% reliable or the weather really is going to be unpredictable. Be prepared for the worst, dib dib and all that...

Mark

Have a look further back on the thread and you will see the list we looked at in Mont Michael.

If you go on to Expedia and put in resort it will give you a list and a map of where they are located.

Cant be that big a place so i am sure you will be close to us.

If worst comes to worst just pitch the tent in our hotel gardens :thumleft:

Maybe not though

Have asked my mum some questions, apparently managed to get booked into Saint Aubert :clap: :mrgreen: , went through [email protected], took a couple of days to reply to her emails though I'm sure she did have a phone number, although in France. Could try booking.com, as she trawled through them aswell, she did find some places near the others, but that was last week :pray: .
Hope this helps, see you at The Shagging (White) Rabbit

Shane,

Your Le Mans starts today, have a good trip down, qualifying starts at 5.15pm. See you tomorrow, we might as well go to the Cobblers for lunch, you up for that.
Picking up the new MK1 today at 11am, eeeeeeee, haven't seen it as yet so fingers crossed it's a half good one. Will spend the rest of the day making sure its up for the 1600 mile round trip.

Will be leaving at lunchtime today. The trip starts now!!!!!!!! yippee.

Michael, crossing my fingers for your new car and as I said if she needs a little polish will give you a hand tomorrow. Cobblers Hall sounds the dogs danglies to me it is a great place for some nosh. So we will be down with you around lunchtime.

For anyone else travelling take care and we will see you all en-route.
