Heck you have just reminded me, instead of driving two vehicles how about five of us drove a Mini on the motorway and one got out of the passengers window, climbed over the top and got in the drivers side and took over!! Mad!!

Apart from anything else the cameras today would go ballistic!

Regards

Guys, I don't want to ruin the party, but instead of organising your own meeting in May, why don't you all come to the Maymeeting in Luxemburg to meet all the other european 480 drivers ?

To which?

And Bakke, I'm considering going to both, if they are not on the same weekend, but definately to the UK one

Though the turbo boys will pass us Meager N/A's not realising that when they reach 88mph they will zip back to last tuesday, so we will get there first hahaha!

PAthetic I know, but I am sadly lacking of wine and ale. :cryhard:

Yes I definately want to go to a europe meet at least once. I'm not sure I'll get there next year now as my girl announced today that sometime in the same month she is going to Vienna for 6 days for a medical conference, all expenses paid - the lucky so and so - so not only am I unlikely to be at the Luxembourg one, I'll be doing the Devizes one all on my own... HANG ON! Maybe that's a GOOD thing! :rofl: ;)

it's dead easy, I drive both french and english cars in france, which gets quite confusing, and I drive on what is for me the wrong side of the road (ie left) u've just got to remember what country u'r in when there's a car coming the other way. I'm blonde, so unless u'r a fake blonde...u should be able to do it :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
