Beavis Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Stunning pictures and a very well attended meet Been to La Rochelle myself, very nice part of the world.
Digsy Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Wow, great pics. Not sure we can beat that setting here in the UK. Someone has slipped a BMW into your photos though...
martinmac Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Stunning pictures on here and on the link. I think the first one on here may be the best zed related picture that I have ever seen
pooky74 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 Wow, great pics. Not sure we can beat that setting here in the UK. Someone has slipped a BMW into your photos though... old Z'owner so still welcome in the family thnx totoshop
H5 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Great pics. Is anyone else thinking about a joint UK / French meet at some point??
3FIDDYZ Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I have mentioned it a few times as I would love to see that big new bridge they have at Millau. I think there is a Ring trip planned for Sept/Oct so it would be a great chance to meet up with fellow Zed owners in France and Germany...
H5 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 With enough planning we could arrange to meet somewhere in north west France and head down.......
Beavis Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 With enough planning we could arrange to meet somewhere in north west France and head down....... Certainly something to think about, i love driving in France
steve_b Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Looks great, with nice cars and nice settings. Also nice to see you allow BMW on your drive out....I am not allow to attend the Welsh run.
pooky74 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 that would be a pleasure for us to meet you guys. If we organised somEthing long time before I can organised that with the french forum
steve_b Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Pooky have you tried "ecuyers" yet, well worth a visit if you are in Paris.
pooky74 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Pooky have you tried "ecuyers" yet, well worth a visit if you are in Paris. that's amazing I was talking to a french Z owner 5 minutes ago to make a meeting in Ecuyers !!! that would be simply to make a big meeting on the track instand of a ballade. To answer I didn't try it yet
steve_b Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 If you organise a day let me know. Would be easy for any brits as not too far south, has nothing really to hit, you will not find another circuit with a roundabout halfway thru the course. It very twisty and good for drifting but is not high speed. also good if you need to take the missus as Paris not far away and champagne region. Very cool that the chap who owns the château decided to build a track in his back garden.
pooky74 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 yep it doesn't look fast as Lurcy-Levis for example but geographically that would be the best place to a meeting for UK, Germany and France
steve_b Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 its more of a fun circuit than skill. As a comparison Folembray is quicker as is Abbeville. Criox is about the same except the straight may be slightly longer at Criox. Doing Le Mans Bugatti again and Dijon for the first this year. will be at abbeville on monday.
pooky74 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 several Z guys went to Le Mans the 13th of april and are going to Nurbergring and SPA 11th/12th may I can't go because don't I've the budget but I'm going to Ladoux 14th of June and Magny-cours F1 14th of July
Beavis Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Magny-cours F1 14th of July Thought Magny-cours F1 was 20-22 June? Should be as i have tickets?
pooky74 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 I'm driving on Magny-cours F1 the 14th of July we say Magny Cours F1 beause there is 2 tracks "F1" and "Club" http://www.magnyf1.com/sports_gp.php?lang=en http://www.magnyf1.com/sports_club.php?lang=en
steve_b Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Got told Magny-cours is really expensive. think that is why LoT do not go. They are also doing Ledenon and Ales this year.
AndySpak Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Great Pics I have spent a bit of time in the Charentes region on holidays. I spent a week in Cognac last July. Very nice it was too
pooky74 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Got told Magny-cours is really expensive. think that is why LoT do not go. They are also doing Ledenon and Ales this year. this year it's 170 € for the Club and 230 € for F1 (7 hours open pit line) http://www.vvl63.com/pdf/magnyCours08.pdf
