And here was me thinking it's going to be difficult as a veggie once we get to France.
Nonsense, just stick with Robin. He's an expert at dodging the hoof burgers and pork squealer butties.

Or sit next to me in france, order normally and I'll eat your steak leaving you the vfrench vfries et salad...

It's not as bad as it used to be - I normally manage to eat well enough.

I've booked a room at the NH in Zandvoort for the Friday night. Not cheap but decided I couldn't be arsed to drive anywhere else that night - I'll see the drunkards in Nancy where hopefully there livers will be suitably damaged and so I'll be able to keep pace at the bar :-)

Cheers,
Robin

The IBIS hotels have a link on their website to add to a TomTom - works for the iPhone too :thumbsup

Did the tracks manually, took a while :(

Check in for the ferry is 14.30-16.30.
I'd be aiming to leave Edinburgh by 1pm.

I've got a bottle of something similar here, actually, donated by a Brazilian colleague several years ago. Scary stuff :shock:

Is the Friday trackday on the 26/8 still Grand Sambuc? I'll be about an hour away and with the car, and if spectators are welcome, will head along for some banter etc.

And me. Do you want to leave Aberdeen about 10 or do you have anything do in Edinburgh beforehand?
