We may be taking a Defender too.

My crew are meeting up on Friday afternoon (25th May) in London for a 'planning meeting' if anyone fancies it? Probably meet at Leicester Square - 16:30.

Nice one, the Bleu Nord Defender crew! What Defender are you taking? I've just bought a Bluefin Superchip for ours for another 40 bhp that should take it over 150bhp, wow

Just received my tickets yesterday so getting very excited now. Sadly I'm working in Basingstoke at the moment so I won't be able to attend the Friday drinks but enjoy the nice weather

Faaantastic trip , even found the Caterham 7 comfortable , no aches or pains , just a little short on storage !!!

Loved it as usual but I would do a few things differently next year:

In no particular order

1. Wear the sun cream I take
2. Take a mattress that stays inflated
3. Don’t take a sleeping bag that stinks of dog sh*t
4. Take more cider/vodka
5. Learn to like beer
6. Probably take my own small tent rather than an 8 man
7. Don’t sleep in the cabin on the way home as I didn’t sleep at all when I got in.
8. Don’t go to the same viewing points.
9. Take a bike/scooter to save walking almost 12 miles
10. Leave a ‘surprise’ in the rubbish for the gypo’s on Monday

Audi Avants are the perfect LM vehicles. Four up to the Supermarche, snap of our booze *before* stacking the rest of the shopping over the top.

Edited to add thats my dads parking not mine lol.

Hi Shagga,

Sorry I never made it over to say hello, I did bump into Playo from Pistonheads on the way back you'd just been stopped doing 141MPH in his RS4! 1500 Euros later he was on his way. I was driving the Defender so never got above 130kph so stayed out of trouble.

We had a great time other than the fact we were right next to the pikeys in Blue parking playing the crazy loud music 24/7.

Here's our little setup:
