[Stormy_be]

Hello,

Wanted to open a thread to see if others are going to the festival of speed in 2015?
It is always nice to meet up with like-minded people.

Regards,

Going with a bunch of us, that is a good extra reason to be there

We will be on campsite H as we opted for a power supply

What car will you be in? I really want to go but tickets are not cheap

 

[pgunter]

Tickets for good events are never cheap.. haha..

I've been there once (in 2005 I believe). Found it a super event.
Since becoming dad (twice) etc, there were other "priorities"....so now we (my brother and 2 friends) fixed for ourselves that every year we go to 1 big event together that we plan up-front etc.

Still as possibilities on the agenda for the years to come: VLN 24h Nurburgring; 24h Le Mans; Road Trip of the Alps, Road Trip Sierra Nevada (Spain), ...
This year it's FoS.
As we will be camping with 4 people, and only 1 car allowed per camping pitch, we will be there in a VW Golf estate with roofbox (which is a company car, so it is cheap). We need to roofbox to be able to get all our stuff on site. Remember that my other camping trips were with a Land Rover Discovery with a trailer....with meant I could take half of the household with me

So, no Zed at FoS for us.
But, as said, always great to meat people of this forum in person, have a laugh and a drink (within limitations).

Regards, Koen

@Stormy_be if I get to make it three years in a row I will meet you for a chat. Should be a laugh.

I'm going but in our Alpina. It's Alpina's 50th anniversary and there is a parade lap on the Saturday. I'll come and say hello during the day.

So, as it is already going to happen next weekend....who is going?
We will be leaving tomorrow early in the morning already (hoping that the issues I heard of with the ferries won't cause too much issues for us).
