Mark we will be taking a very steady run down, so meet you at Junction 21A Services (Leicester Forest East) at 4pm?

Well heres "Team Pink"s offering, the photos REALLY make it look much nicer than it is, the stickers on the roof have more bubbles than an Aero but who cares! Still no blower but will try and fix that tomorrow.

Well I can imagine our initial convoy of 10 Citroëns - including 6 or 7 BXs of which 3 will be valvers - should turn a few heads as we make our way down to our first overnight near Orleans.

By the time we finish the event in Epinal there should be another 2 BXs in our ranks - assuming nobody buys a BX Sport en route

Jaba & I are staying at the start point B&B Motel on the Tuesday night.
So we will be waiting for you all after we have eaten a hearty breckfast of croissants, brioch and pain au chocolat.

Great. We should be there about quarter to nine.

Pain of chocolate will have been endured by then I hope.

Well, I'll be waking up to this,

buying a couple of croissants and then heading to wherever we're supposed to meet. Note to self, must check exactly which hotel it is again...

Pink?? That's about as red as, Red Jock McRed, winner of the all Scotland 'Mr. Red' contest!

(and very nice too)

For those staying at Ashford International and may need supplies or fuel there is a 24 hour Sainsburys next door to the Hotel. Alternatively there is a Shell fuel station at junction eleven.

Good luck to you all and have an enjoyable and safe trip.

Brian.

Yes, but you know how quickly those red BX's can fade

Thanks Brian, are you local? Just wondered

Here is a photo of my trusty steed, taken just now in typical Welsh weather. As you can see I've really gone to town with the prep! (I do have a couple of sticker to put on if/when it dries out...)

Have a fabulous time fellas (I KNOW you will) and look forward to the pics and tales of automotive derring-do on your return - drive safely.
