Kimbers It worked out about £1300 for 5 days, not bad for 5 adults and 1 child, this included all birthing, lock fee’s, electric hook ups & our fuel (we used £200), just needed to pay for beer and food. The boat we had slept 6 adults and 2 children, there are loads of different boats (29 total) with all variants of size and lay out. They have a facebook page, customers coments say it all. You will not be disapointed. Scotty

Gordon Yes I have a entry, I'm doing pax rides at the start and the laps at the end. Sorry I'm not in the Lotus section, but my car is a shed if your closer then 10 paces and would look a bit out of place with all this polishing talk. Looking forward to the day, fingers crossed the weather will be as good as last year. Scotty C

last week I hired a boat from Caleycruisres and went from Inverness to Fortwilliam. 28- 30 deg C a couple of days. If only the weather was like this all summer.

South of Carlisle. why would I bother.

its not the english that are mad, Watch out for the scottish envation. Im sure i can get you onto any of the days, just let me know? ive been to ledenon before, really looking forward to going back. I still have my car for now.

ha ha. loving your work sir , im heading out to france again in August. are you around? Sun 21/8 We will all together meet at the Ibis Mâcon Sud, a nice hotel with pool, billard and bar so people arriving a bit sooner can really enjoy their time there. Have a look by yourself http://www.ibismacon.com/joomla/index.php Mâcon is also very popular for tourism and EXCELLENT food in France... Mo 22/8 Easy drive to the Circuit de Bresse, a proper race track with international race meets and great facilities... so it was probably time LoT visited them! Technical, fast, but very safe and with gentle curbs as also many motorbike races are hold there. Directly after the TD we will head to Orange where we will be based for the rest of the event. Tue 23/8 Day off at hotel Ibis Orange Centre, the one we visited a couple of years ago! Pool, car park (helpful for some repairs, hum hum) very friendly owner who is a Lotus fan and nearly the entire hotel for us alone. We will be based there until Fri, so you just leave your luggage there and drive easy to the tracks the rest of the week. Orange is a beautiful town within 5 min walk, lot of bars, culture/history, restaurants... but Orange is also not far away from the Provence and from the Riviera. Ah, did I already mention the Mont Ventoux with its hill climb and beautiful roads and view was “just” a few miles away. For sure many nice ways to spend that day off Wed 24/8 TD at the Circuit du Luc, our first day there. This track has a bit of history as it used to be the test track of the AGS F1 team in the 80s. It is quite relaxed and safe, while allowing a good drive for both beginners (easy to memorise) and experienced drivers (easy to push, better on that day then on the day after!). Perfect training and shake down for Thursday... and fun ans safe regardless the weather. Thu 25/8 TD at Ledenon. Err, I guess no need to introduce one of Europe’s best race track, anticlockwise with terrific gradients? SUPERB track, but treat it with respect! We really should go there more often... one of our very top favourite tracks and big highlight: have fun! Fri 26/8 TD at Grand Sambuc, again for the first time. The narrow roads to get there, admittedly slightly over one hour drive as the farthest away, through the Provence mountains are already a great drive with beautiful landscapes that vary every mile. The track is located uphill in the middle of the forest (or should I say nowhere?) and looks like a giant hill climb with lot of gradients and blind corners and... lot of speed! However, it is pretty safe but quite technical. Lunch will be given in a very nice place, surprise, surprise... It has also a lot of history as the current owner and designer of this driver’s track, who is over 80 now (!), is one of the French best circuit drivers of his era... watch at the pix and trophies of DB, Porsche 718, AC Cobra, Can Am Lolas, Lotus 23, Ferrari 512M, Lola 212 Porsche etc. 3 decades of racing and what a nice man! As BTW our lead doctor of the day, named Abecassis and related to “that” George

you can tell us Scot's are really getting into the spirit of things on Friday. 1 street has applied to Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire (about 50 mile radius) council to have a street party. Not complaining as I have the day off and the roads will be a bit quieter.

I'm no expert, I normally just power wash it with the shower cape over the seats.

211 chat is back. Thanks Bibs

my mate fixed his camera to his extended camera pole. We drove along at 5-10mph and i took the pictures with a remote control. this is him setting it up. andrew on roof.bmp

yes thats me that has the 2-11 Scotty C

Was great to see you guys racing on Motors TV. i would love to come over in the 2-11 and drive at Laguna Seca. what are my chances of that I would be able to drive my car from east to west coast

ye get that on the SE calander thread, it will get my vote

Sorry i never made it along. I never got home til 5.30am. so thought i better not drive yesterday. Looked like a lively day for it.

can you believe that guy is scottish. epic, makes me laugh everythime i see it.

your worst nightmare meeting tut going the other way on the cairn o mount

not sure if you saw the series Universe on BBC2. the numbers on there made my brain hurt.

We are a supply company. Rope soap and dope as they say. We supply the rigs ( and FPSO, FSU's etc) and also do ship chandlery for the supply boats. Gone are the days of waiting for the supply boats to come into the harbour before getting orders, 90% of the work is done via purchasing systems and emails before the boat comes into port. Some of the customers notify us when they’re coming into port, but we have to keep an eye on most and there movement. Aberdeen harbour website is good but only tells you when the boats are in harbour, Peterhead doesn’t have a website so we have to use the tracker to look for boats coming in there. What rig/fpso/boat are you on? Scotty

Classic

Ha ha, I can do the cairn any night of the week, This boys night is a belated burns supper I have every year normally in January Getting harder and harder to get a group of 8 guys together for a beer.

I have a boys night out next saturday, so will have to wait and see how that works out. if i can make it i will be on my own so i'm sure there will be room for a small person?
