French Car Show 2006!

Post by Vanny »

Sunday 28th May - 9am-5pm
Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground
Lutterworth, Leicestershire, LE17 5QS


I'll be there as always (infact i'll be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday), hopefully in the damn car, and i'll be working and playing as usual! Its an 'interesting' day out with a huge range of cars on show, not just french ones. Plenty that have been 'halford'ised, and some specials that are untouched (anyone for a 405 Mi16x4 with hydropneumatic rear?).

Beyond the barried cars and blearing music, theres a huge trade village with plenty to have a look at and enough bonnet scoops to make stuart drool! Theres some serious good food and a lot of track action, both racing and 0-60 sprints! Then theres the planes, one side of the place is a storage area for alsorts of old planes, even if you dont like planes there impressive!!


The BX16v Owners Club will be there as ever, and i'd like to know if anyone here fancies going? either as seperate club all together or perhaps we could unite forces and go en masse?

personally i'm going for the sun, the cars and the people!

Don't think my better half is interested - all sounds a bit BoyRacer for her but sounds like fun to me!

This may be more a BX than 2CV event I'm guessing - they may not have enough space for a 2CV to get to 60mph!
:wink:

Erm, actually you could get a 2cv to 60 on it! Its got a 2mile runway AND its mostly down hill (ah and the taxi way is another 2mile back as well so thats an endless loop, you could just keep going round until you get there!).

Yay, maybe we should have a BXClub raid to Calais.

Stock up on beer at the hypermarché :D

The BX. One of the few cars you can fill the boot full with beer, and no-one would know from the outside!

Boulogne with Speedferries is a better idea. Check out the 36 hour for £25 offer on www.speedferries.com. Boulogne is cheaper for beer, too but not as cheap as Dunkerque. If you are going up that way, a good cheap hotel is the Vivaldi in Blankenberge, a little way over the Belgian Border and not far from Brugge.
