Rich - same ferry as us methinks 
ow - lets hope not, although even if it isnt there are bound to be a lot of people having a crack. I'm worried its just going to be too busy

Well I’ve finally booked up me place on the rip-off Chunnel . Was going to do the Ferry but got hacked off with them turning down my offers. I mean £20 is a fair price in my view 
Seriously the major incentive to spend an extra £50 on the Chunnel is I can sleep in an extra two and half hours, as I worked out to make it for the 7am crossing I would need to be up at like 4am
That’s not happening. I know you boys from Bristol ain’t gonna get any sleep at all but hey I like to keep Sabine’s bar open until the early hours of a Friday night, and that won’t happen if I’m up before the birds. You chaps will probably nod off going down the Fox hole at 5pm LOL. Mmmmmm the Fox Hole what a corner, hill, scary as hell kinda place
So I’ll be cruising down with Doc Jock and Johny F on the 09:30 Chunnel.
See you peeps down at the Ring
Owbow - according to the website the Festival is on the GP circuit, afterall theres not much space to view custom cars on the Ring. Lets hope they don't close off that top corner on the Ring to facilitate the festival.

MRK, I'll be convoying with DJ and crew as well, on the same chunnel crossing
Hadn't seen this thread (not a regular SN reader) but it looks like a good turnout
Taking the Prelude over where it will live fom now on as the Ring slag for DJ et al. Should be a giggle if nothing else.
Really looking forward to this now.

Lol @ Tavia,
How did you know
Just come back from checking, you're right they dont fit
Now as for the dirty weekend....reply should have been "ok I'll bring my overalls and servicing equipment" Mind you second thoughts......
Jon, I'm waitnig with eager anticipation to push you out of your seat and wrestle the wheel from you. (Serious mode on...Hey, cheers you're a star)
No response from John then. Guess he must be having an easy time of it round Sweet Lamb
Ah, Jon, now I see, penny has finally dropped. No, dont worry, wouldn't think that of you

Captain Pugseye how slow you gonna drive if arriving same time as us most unlike you.
Focus RS never seen one of those from behind?? Meoowwwww seriously though are they quite nice?? Wouldn’t mind a lap out in that Edcase, passenger of course.
Barry chapper we’ll be there Friday afternoon to get plenty laps in no worries. I’ve just been thinking about turning up on ‘the’ Friday and putting that card in the machine and the barrier rising, your heart pumping, your breathing quickens. You nearly stall the car on the line, and pause as your leg trembles, due to the anticipation, and definitely fear of this awesome 12mile odd piece of unforgiving tarmac in front of you. Thoughts fly through your mind, will it befriend you, or punish your every nervous twitch by planting your car pivoting on the 18” high kerbing. How fast can you take Brunchen, flat, again? No that was a fluke, surely, but what about the FoxHole. Will the suspension cope with another 130mph leap down into it? And how will you pants feel coming out the other side. Mmmm squirmy, or just a little damp 
Too many thoughts, I can’t cope. Damn the barriers come down , taken to long to move. Pheww a few seconds more rest before the card goes in again
Anybody checked out the weather forecast, just wondering if we will arise Saturday morning to see snow again. LOL

I drove a mates car last time I was out there, Easter - Audi A3T (chipped) so I had to be extra careful. This time I'm in a car I know, and have a slightly better idea of what to expect so I am hoping for some fun laps.
Can't wait for this one, theres tons of us going
