It's OK - Booked!

Called a very helpful lady - booked at £249 and all OK.

They only have 4 berth cabins left - I suggested she joined me but she put the phone down :evil: :shock:

Seriously - if anyone else is booking I'm guessing you could not bother paying the cabin charge on the outward journey and bunk up with me :shock:

Good idea.

Will matching hot pants be taking things to far?

Not sure too many of us have the right, um, credentials for such regalia :shock:

Let me know what you decide and I'll follow suit.
2006 RHD 997 Carrera (but DDK remains in my heart - also now no longer)
1972 LHD 2.4T with '73 2.4T CIS motor - gone to a new DDK home
1994 RHD 993 Carrera - gone!
1968 LHD 911L - was the Wife's but now in new hands :-(

I have been speaking to Mike (210bhp) and we are likely to travel down from Scotland on Wednesday evening with the intention of getting a morning tunnel crossing and then making a day of the journey to Le Mans. As this takes us through Rouen it might be nice to stop and see the old GP circuit which was last used for the French GP in 1968. From the French side of the tunnel you are looking at 270 miles to Le Mans. Anyone else that fancies doing something like this is welcome to join us.
