phdm,

The site is still showing 2003. They don't generally change it until around June time.

Great pic.

phdm · 19 Mar 2004, 10:16 (Ref:910511)

Correct but it does nevertheless gives a general idea of the programme of the meeting

**Peter Mallett** · 19 Mar 2004, 10:23 (Ref:910520)

Yep.

Are you going this year?

Mark Barton · 19 Mar 2004, 13:00 (Ref:910690)

Thanks phdm, good site! The team are convinced, so it looks like this is definitely in the calendar for 2004

**Peter Mallett** · 19 Mar 2004, 14:36 (Ref:910806)

Its on my list too. So Let's hope we meet up.

Accommodation can be limited so I suggest you find somewhere early.

Drop an email to Vincent Collard on contact@motorclassic.com and ask him to send you the list of hotels in the Spa area. You might have to wait some time to get a reply as they are now pretty busy with the preparation of the Liege Rome Liege rally.

Mark Barton · 21 Mar 2004, 12:40 (Ref:913900)

Thanks for the tip - we're going to try to book the hotel we used to mob in the late 80s, but if that's full I'll definitely get in touch with Vincent.

I stayed at hotel Alfa 156 last year and it was great

Hi, I have just registered for this site and have found this during a look through the posts. I have raced in the 6 hour race for the last few years and reckon it is one of the best meetings of the year for historic cars. Now the Eiffell Klassik has become over popular, possibly the best! The change to a night race was inspired. The atmosphere as you charge down the pit straight towards Eau Rouge with all the pits lit up is something I will not forget. A quick coffee and a waffle at the Whoopi Snacks stand whilst waiting for your next 'stint', fantastic. Not so fantastic? Realising 5 minutes has gone by and your team mate has not been past since the last lap with only half an hour left.

Welcome to the forum slippy Diff. Are you in any of Paul's shots from last year?

Slippy Diff · 2 May 2004, 20:47 (Ref:958818)

Hi Peter,
Unfortunately I or my team mates don't seem to be in any of the photos. I have very few from during the night races myself although I do have plenty from when it was held during the day.
Won't be there this year as I am now living in New Zealand. Fantastic memories though

PaulSands · 3 May 2004, 07:32 (Ref:959063)

what would I be looking for exactly...I'll have a browse through my archives

Slippy Diff · 3 May 2004, 20:40 (Ref:959737)

A dark blue Austin Healey 3000 with a silver roof. Last year I co-drove a friends car for a change, a red Austin Healey 100/4. Would love to see any photos people have.

PaulSands · 6 May 2004, 09:04 (Ref:962309)

I'm afraid I can't find anything...I was using a camera that would only allow me 170 shots on a 1gb drive and I was having to contsantly review and delete stuff over the weekend..not so this year I have a new camera, 3gb of storage and the capacity for around 3,000 images

Looking back at the raw images although the ones I've used on the pages are alright they are largely pants
I did however find this one that I don't think has been shared before

zefarelly · 6 May 2004, 09:49 (Ref:962336)

nice Aston . . . .who's that bloke in a Capri ? He should be reported for having a headlight out

simon drabble · 6 May 2004, 09:54 (Ref:962342)

PaulSands · 6 May 2004, 10:22 (Ref:962358)

**Peter Mallett** · 6 May 2004, 12:22 (Ref:962475)
