anyone adding euro cover to their existing RAC cover, they'll knock 50% off for RAOC membership.....(I think they do it for most clubs)

cost me 30 odd quid for the comprehensive cover...

just before arrival in Macon.....

fill up your car to FULL there is no time on saturday morning or during the day to go hunting for fuel stations that accept UK plastic to fill up.


.......for those wanting to save a few euros, there is an Auchan 1 mile North East of the Escatel Hotel on the D103 just before it joins the N6. I have had no trouble using a card at these supermarkets whether it is at the Casse or Self Service Pumps :wink:

Ring Jules, and what about Spider-racer , or the ring-meister men?
To be sure, the Irish should be up for a bit of competition too?

Well another great trip to Macon, so thanks to Steve and Andy (plus everyone who came and those in AMAG) for a great weekend.
I got home with a working car thanks to Steve's self amalgamating tape patching up my top hose (I forgot to take the spare this year and it failed..) so its two break downs and two fixes in two years- bottom of the class for me, but still good fun
We got into the local paper too- so have a look at all the Brits in the article...well done to all.
A few small technical issues, all resolved,too much food and drink and wonderful hospitality- a great trip!

Here are some pictures- not so many this year...
Cheers
Lee

Mr Dini, you missed a top weekend,
Many thanks again to Jacky and the AMAG organisers, the villages for keeping out the way, except the wild pig seen running towards us on 1 stage,
To Andy of course for co ordinating us and getting us all the entries etc, Stephen and all the others too.
Special thanks too to Mr Walsh for helping me get over some gear selector problem, my balls were a bit loose,
and from Mr Miles for so quickly fixing his matrix leak,
Good to see some new faces, silly spider drivers in interesting fashionwear trying to keep them selves warm while pleaseing their wives too,
To Jersey Jon for dropping me in it with new "picky" girlfriend, she says thanks too, luckily she is still talking to me, but only every other word is an expleetive...... maybe this is due to "some" spirited driving too.
Good camarardary all round,......looking forward to next year already.

Any one got some pics to post up?
or in car vid's.??
