So close to home I would also be interested normally, but I'm afraid this weekend and the three following are not possible for me.
Another time, hopefully.
Dave.

Hello Dave,

Philippe,
I have to pass too this WE. Too busy.

Tonight I have to get out of bed at 03:30 and drive my son and his wife to Charleroi airport. They go to Rome.

Saturday I have to go with my wife and a party in the evening.
Sunday to Breda all day until late.

Too busy for my taste.

Another day perhaps and I must go and see Dave too.
He is practically a neighbour.

Jos

Spring time :D

This afternoon, I went for a nice drive in the Ardennes wiht my sun and he took this picture.

Hope you all enjoy spring weather were you are.

NB: Erik, Jos, Dave ?, let's keep 18th April in the planning and see by then what we do.

OK, I've managed to get a pass from the wife for the 18th!

My car is unfortunately not on the road yet, nor is it likely to be this year at the present rate of progress. The best I can do is bring a photo.

Maybe I can hitch a ride with Jos?

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Dave.

No problem, Dave.

That will be nice meeting you and for you getting to know the others.

We will arrange something to get you in the E.
Depending on where to drive to I could come to your home that day.

Are you courageous enough to go to Spa or Stavelot ? (mostly higwhay for you untill there) .
We could meet there and have drive in the area + lunch together
and drive back home in the afternoon after another local drive?

I will check with Roger

NB; I need to be back home at 6 PM latest...

April 18th is still good for me. I'm looking forward to it.

I'll get in touch with Jos offline and try and make some arrangements.

Dave.

Hello ,

here is the proposed plan for the 18TH April :

- meet at Francorchamps at 10-10.30 AM (exit of highway, when the road is reaching Francorchamps, right hand side, there is a big "parking " area in front of a restaurant at the T where you normally turn left to go to the Circuit
- drive on the old circuit road (Burnenville-Masta ...) to Stavelot
- visit the Circuit Museum at the Stavelot Abbey
- have lunch in the area
- drive near Malmedy to a famous Hillclimb ("Tros-Maret")
- depending on time- have a cup of tea (or anything else

)
and then drive back home. (I need to be back before 18.00 )

Hope the good weather will be with us

see you soon

Hello all,

This is fine Philippe.

Dave, I'll pick you up around 09 AM, head for the Autobahn around Aachen and take the exit to Francorchamps.

See you Saturday next,

Jos

Hi all,

as mentioned off line to Phil, depending on my travel arrangements, I will be there or not. Do not wait for me but if I can make it, I will.

I should know by Wednesday... :)

cheers
Erik

Phil · Post by **Phil** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 6:18 pm

Erik, I hope you can join and share the day with us.

Jos, thanks for taking care of Dave.

I contacted Roger and he will try to join wih his XJ6; still waiting for the reaction of a Lotus Europe owner probably on holidays.

see you soon

Very nice, satisfying day!
