One abiding memory of Croix is the toilets, or disgusting state of. I'd rank them worse than anything I've seen anywhere in Europe and far worse than Santa pod in the 70s if that's possible. You definitely need a cardboard box in your tent if you camp there.

Maybe the title of this forum should be re-named
Delta's Toilet Break in keeping with much of it's current content! |

The Le Mans forum has been having a discussion about toilets as well, so obviously of some importance.....

I know the Spanish have always had a "Mañana" approach to life but our next door neighbour last year said that she was going to visit her daughter in Granada and would be away for 3 days and gave us the key to her house and said could we take the dog for a walk in the mornings. Fair enough we have known her for 15 years or so and off course I said ok no problem. Anyway 3 weeks later she came back and said she was having a good time and decided to stay a "bit" longer !
At the moment she has gone away again and this time she didn't state a return date at all, however it "aint" too bad walking a dog down here at the moment ! |

Not popped in for a few days but see the usual suspects are keeping the brews flowing
Amazed at the French diesel prices.....I was only paying just under 90 Eurocents per litre for petrol in Tenerife before Xmas, and diesel was even cheaper! Made the 1000 or so kilometres we drove there very cheap Any of you guys going to Autosport at the NEC this year? Haven't been for a few years so we're wandering along on Thursday, tho I imagine as usual I'll spend a lot of time looking at all the new tech kit and wondering what it does |

I suspect this will bring back the replica thingy around. But if you're not millionaire or billionaire investing 900 k£ in a genuine Cobra you can try to challenge it with a 160 k£ TVR for instance. What would be the most famous meetings if we banned the replica or even genuine cars with modern engines? Please dont shoot me for that its only my point of view. |

I'm making my annual pilgrimage on Friday but to be honest it's more of a socialising/networking event rather than anything else (don't tell the boss!). It is interesting to see what's new & what's going on, but I find it more interesting to learn what everyone has been up to over the last 12 months, and more importantly what their plans are for this season. (It's always entertaining when you talk to some people, and add everything up to find that they claim to be racing over 60 weekends this year!).

I shall be at Autosport on Thursday, shuttling between my customers at Lille Racewear and Absolute Alignment. So you could try there. Failing that, the bar!
