When do you leave, which way, in what?

Sound like a good trip -Calais / Nurbergring/ Stelvio / Monte & back. Anyone interested? A sort of Spa/Sofoa/Lege trip.
A few motor museums as well.
Get in touch and I will see what i can do.

I'm off tomorrow via Epinal, Innsbruck and the Dolomites on the way there and Dijon, Reims Brighton on the return trip.  Hope it's as good as it was last year and I hope for dry weather.

Have just come round to removing all the sponsor decals from my car after last year's Italian Job. The Vynils came off easily, with the help of a little heat, and left only clean paint behind. Some of the less expensive stickers left a residue of sticky gunge behind. Without listing the various chemicals that failed to remove this sticky gunge my ex-librarian wife suggested "labelclene" which in her words would remove... well never mind what it would remove...... it removed the sticky gunge. So if you have recalcitrant decals Labelclene from your stationers is the chemical of choice.


regards

Tom
